Whoa, I felt such childish giddiness when I spotted these three letters on the right (people with money problems, don’t read):

Chapeau, game. Chapeau.

(actual spoiler, if you didn’t pass that point yet): only if you have bad Karma and needed to cleanse it first… Did you have clean Karma?

Also people who don’t recognize this scene when they pinch their eyes, don’t read
(That would be you for sure, @tasse-tee! @PiecesOfKate perhaps)

Mine was clean as a whistle. What happens if it’s not?

Time for a quick poll, so we can tune our spoilers better.

For those playing Zak right now. Did you play before or not, did you finish it before or not?

  • It’s my first time ever
  • I tried it before, but never finished it
  • finished it once, but forgot most
  • I replay it every couple of years
  • I can recite the whole game from start to end

What @tasse-tee said…
I’d say: save, reload and experiment!

@Sushi Any hints regarding how to get bread crumbs out of the bread-shaped stone slab?

Don´t waste your time there!

Fine, I’ll have a look to see if I can kill you in the drain disposal if that’s what you want. :stuck_out_tongue:

Actually, speaking of drain disposal system… I haven’t tried that on the bread yet.

Getting warmer there!

I did have clean Karma (in the save file where I got Frenzie’s scenario), but the guru takes a long time to explain anyway.

Yeah, I’ve been using that method to tell if something is a spoiler or not. Don’t worry, I can easily avoid spoilers this way, and with a short clue like “money problems” :slight_smile:

So why’d you say don’t waste your time trying to get breadcrumbs when that was exactly what I needed to do? lol :stuck_out_tongue:

Edit: oh wait, probably my fault by joking about the stone-like consistency of the bread.

But it´s funny. Yak Butter recipe, wife joke etc…

I thought you thought you could get pieces of bread in Peru.

unless, in the FM towns version it doesn’t just say “one hour later”, “two hours later…” but it is actual showing ll the cut material (it came on a CD rather than on two 320kB (+/-) floppies after all)

It only does that, thankfully!

I wanted to click “I can recite the whole game from start to end”, but I clicked on “I replay it every couple of years”, instead.

Does that include character dialogue? If so, maybe I’ll test you and @Sushi by dropping a random piece of dialogue, and you have to give me the line that comes next. :wink: (And no cheating!)

Easy, it´s not that much.
