Zak McKracken and the Alien Mindbenders playthrough and hints

Very interesting! But I don’t think anyone else could decipher those maps :slight_smile:

They only outsource the stuff I can’t remember. They’re just supports. They’re not meant to be understood by anybody else. :stuck_out_tongue:

I’m exaggerating slightly when I say I don’t know how to get to those two rooms. Rather what I mean is I don’t know precisely due to some confusing specifics in the inner hallways but the basic principle of the thing is the similar for all rooms. You get to the first room I saw through B or P at the top.

The atmosphere room is accessible through the P on the right, but there’s a weird extra hallway through Y that also leads there.

Btw, you might have noticed that I changed a G to Y. That’s because I got started in Dutch when I realized that in English I could just use a single letter to differentiate green and yellow (groen en geel).

Yeah that verb only made it’s entry in Indy3 (also by Ron and David and a bit of Gary)

knock, knock… who’s there?
Annie!
Annie who!
Let me on the bus any-a-hoo!

Grim and Indy3 are my two final remaining P&C LucasArts adventures.

It’s funny how writing out some progress and asking for a hint is enough to make me realise what I need to do :laughing: post no longer necessary…

Actually, I need to ask something now.

Before I revert to an earlier save, do I need loo roll from the plane to use as kindling in the cave? Yes or no will do.

Oooooh… Or maybe that book that guy at the airport was offering… (this is a rhetorical thought)

No, I didn’t even know that was an option.

Edit: PS I figured I’d try out this other maze game for which I probably slightly overpaid on GOG even when it was on sale:

Okay, thanks. I used it to block the sink.

Uh oh. Do I need the peanuts to give to the squirrel? I don’t appear to have them anymore. Did I eat them? I can’t remember…

Did you play the game before?

No. Does it show? :stuck_out_tongue:

Scroll again through your inventory - you should have them.

Nope, not there.

Personally I used the peanuts first but there are several other items I also tried behind the safety of a save game that make for funnier newspaper headlines.

Oh wait! I’ve just seen an old save game that says ‘gave nuts to squirrel’. I guess I gave them to him outside the cave, then. So I presumably don’t need them inside. Phew.

Sorry, should’ve specified exactly where I was!

You’re on the right track. :slight_smile:

Yay :slightly_smiling_face:

Good girl!

Weird that I had no recollection of doing that, though. Maybe it’s the stupidity epidemic.
