You can also simply type "on" or "off" when you hit the showers.

This all helps makes it possible to smoke The Death Angel.
I can do you one better. Instead of "o door" and "c door", you can simply type "o d" and "c d".

DarthHelmet86 One are you playing this in Dosbox? Cause the text should just be text.

The other question is simple. Type Open door, or Get object.

How do I read the text in the game?

No doubt a stupid question but can someone tell me what I need to do to be able to read the text that comes up when someone is talking to me in the game? All I can see are vague black patterns withn the white box. Also (again no doubt stupid) how do I pick up an object or open an object (ie. a locker).

I have only just downloaded the game on a whim - haven't played it since we first got a PC in the early-mid 80s - can't wait to play it again!

Any help would be great.

As I recall - and it was 20 years ago - you simply walk round the car

Luchsen We only have a 4MB large 300DPI JPG with the same pixel dimensions as the one on site. You would have to ask Kronos who submitted the boxshots.

Maxor127 Nice PQ back scan. I've been looking for a good one. I recently restored my old one in Photoshop, but the colors don't look as natural as the one uploaded here, especially Jim Walls' skin tone. Any chance I can get it as a 400+ dpi PNG?

DarthHelmet86 Thats is odd, F7 should be your restore button, press escape and look under File, next to Restore it should have the key for it. F6, F8, F10 should be your lights and speed control. I know the version I have uses these, and the version I had as a kid used the same buttons.

Help with F keys on Dosbox.

I have the game up and running, works great but the "F" keys won't work properly...the action associated with the F key wont work. For example F10 is supposed to activate the lights and siren, but it is assigned to restore game. I've tried multiple downloads of the game and it all shakes out the same. Any advice would be appreciated!
