Current thoughts:

Dammit, I thought the tree branch might lift up the floorboards. But I think I probably need a dollar, based on the newspaper article. Maybe.

that’s perhaps one of the few objects you can’t lift the floorboards with. Blame it on the branch being too thick, too flexible or David overlooking that possibility.

[PiecesOfKate]

Yeah, David!

I haven’t found anything that works yet, but I’ve not looked everywhere

… Well, imagine a boy who learned English mainly from playing Zak and turning on everything…

Well, that explains a lot.

Well, a cup of tea is something isn’t it?

Doug!.. Shovel!..

@Someone

What have you done with it?

I used it in the microwave to distract the hostess. I’m only wondering because I’d already used the bathroom distraction (by the way who ‘turns on’ a sink?) so I probably didn’t need both if I’d been quick enough.

Hah! I’m glad to hear I’m not alone in being so close yet so far away to the solution on that one.

Although I am not sure that you can’t do that. Will try later on C64 version…

I’m sure you and @tasse-tee can “turn on” anything if you put your minds to it… (sorry, )

Stop it Sushi, or I’ll flush you down the toilet !!!

A flight map with fares was posted in another thread a few days ago, but I can’t find it now.
Please could somebody repost it / link me to it here?

Why don’t you make your own like a pro? It spoils all the locations!

The C64 runs WAY too fast on ScummVM

I’m sure the C64 version runs perfectly fine in ScummVM, it’s your C64 back then that YOU HAVEN’T SUPERCHARGED!

@Someone

The FM Towns version seems to have several timing problems.

Maybe it is a bug. Are you using the current version of ScummVM? Or maybe you are using a too current one

The one included with the GOG package. I’ll test it with another ScummVM version - as soon I’ve the time.

[milanfahrnholz]

So why is winvice running the game like I remember it?

[Nor_Treblig]

Have you installed Graphics BASIC in it?

London

The bottle of Whisky must be used in London, but… I mean… with a character more charming than Zak

Are you implying Zak is no Prince Charming?

[milanfahrnholz]

Sure, but I´m not sure we have the same definition of “supercharging” here.

[Nor_Treblig]

Psst, it’s just a joke, supercharging, like, TWP you know.
