SAVING YOUR GAME
IMPORTANT!! If you're playing from diskettes,
you must have a separate formatted diskette
ready before you can save a game. Since each
disk can only hold a limited number of games,
we recommend that you have more than one disk
formatted, in order to assure adequate space
for save game storage.
To allow for errors in judgement and creative exploration, we
recommend that you frequently save your game in progress, and
that you save several different games from different points
as you play. You will always want to save your game before
encountering potentially dangerous situations. You should
also save your game after you have made significant progress.
You may name your saved games using standard English phrases.
For example, if you are standing on a beach, you might call
your game 'standing on beach', or simply 'beach'.

window and resume play.
NOTE: Some message windows are program controlled,
and cannot be cleared by pressing [ENTER]. These
windows will clear automatically.
LOOK everywhere. Thoroughly explore your surroundings. Open
doors and drawers. Look closely at all objects you
encounter or you may miss important details.
EXPLORE each area of the game very carefully, and DRAW A MAP
as you progress through the game. Make a note of each are
you visit, and include information about objects found there
and dangerous areas nearby. If you miss an area, you may
miss an important clue!
GET objects you think you will need. You can see inventory
of items on hand by choosing INVENTORY icon at any time, or
by pressing the [TAB] key.
USE the items you have picked up to solve problems in the
game. Different approaches to a puzzle may bring about a
different outcome.
BE CAREFUL, and remain alert at all times -- disaster may
strike in the most unlikely places!
SAVE YOUR GAME OFTEN, especially when you are about to try
something new or potentially dangerous. This way, if the
worst should happen, you won't have to start all over again
from the beginning. Save games at different points, so you
will always be able to return to a desired point in the game.
In effect, this will enable you to travel backward through
time and do things differently if you wish.
DON'T GET DISCOURAGED. If you come to an obstacle that seems
insurmountable, don't despair. Spend some time exploring
another area, and come back later. Every problem in the game
has at least one solution, and some have more than one.
Sometimes solving a problem one way will make it harder to
solve the next, and sometimes it will make it easier. If you
get stuck, you might try backtracking to an earlier point in
the game, then choosing a different path. If all else fails,
you can write to us for hints. You can also buy the SIERRA
GAME HINT BOOK from the dealer who sold you the game, or
order it directly from Sierra On-Line by calling (800) 326-
6654.
BRING ALONG SOME HELP. You may find it helpful (and fun) to
play the game with a friend. Two (or more) heads are better
than one at interpreting clues and solving problems.
