Display Problems During The Game

If you encounter display problems like missing objects or black 
rectangular holes, you may try to reinstall DirectX 6, Intel Indeo 
and DXMedia. If this does not help, try to change the colour depth  
from TrueColor to HiColor. The display quality is nearly the same 
but the problems should disappear. The colour depth can be changed 
only via the OPTION button of the installation menu on CD 1.

General Game Strategy

You cannot die and the game is automatically saved every time you 
exit. So there is no need to save the game unless your PC crashes 
regularly.

If you get stuck, visit all places again, speak again to everybody  
you meet and try again to get all things you can reach. Often things  
change. For example after you have talked to someone, even if there 
is no logical connection. 

You can move the hero more quickly if you double-click on the place 
you want to go.

Special notice on the help system : The online help system only  
comes up (a book in the top right corner of the screen) when you  
are stuck for over eight minutes and don't have an item in your  
inventory that is needed next. That means that the online help 
is not user selectable and did not come up a single time during 
the whole time I played. The way it was described, I even think 
that there is no help system implemented, because I tried to get
it to come up ... and nothing happened !

The Mission

How Do I Get A Mission

  Rodrigo in handbook.

  with you.

  sewerage.

How Do I Get A Hat And A Cyber-Hand

- Hey, a pirate jumps out behind a rock ...
- Your new friend, the dragon, will grill him.
- All that is left from the pirate is his hat and his cyber-hand.
- All you need for now is there. Look for the purse later in the game.

How Do I Find Jasmin

- They should know where she is.

How Do I Rescue Jasmin

  the machine.

  green.

The Darkness
What Has Happened

- The story of Soromann and the Gloomstones is very old.
- Maybe Cynthia is not old enough to know everything.

- You need something to throw into the wishing well.
- Didn't you lose a purse earlier in the game ?
- In the meantime, the purse came out of the sewerage.
