...I may be the most inept adventurer ever. I have the same inventory the Guest up there did, sans remote and battery, and I've put the growth potion on the plant and gotten the pumpkin. Where do I go from there? Better yet, how do I open the glowing door?

The glowing door will only open with the remote control and the control will only work with the battery. To get the battery is a big jump from where you and Guest are now and would involve a lot of spoilers. I'll cut and paste from a walkthrough...but don't read if you don't want a lot of the game revealed.

WARNING SPOILERS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
}Library:
---------
Benjamin tries the big key he found from the lab to the library door
and
hurray, it works. He enters the library and finds a bookshelf that's
locked
to the wall. He uses the small key to open the lock and pushes the
shelf
aside, unveiling a secret safe. Having seen a lot of movies he uses his
knowledge and unlocks the safe using the stethoscope!? Ben finds
two
disks and a key from the safe.

Ben walks to the window and uses the hammer to break it. He then
picks
up the piece of glass from the floor.

Ben decides to go and try the key he found from the safe to the
bedroom
closet.


}Bedroom:
---------
Benjamin uses the key from the safe to open the closet door. Inside
the closet he finds piles of brand new clothes, still wrapped in plastic
covers, as if they weren't even ment to be used at all. Ben finds this
a little bit weird but decides to forget about it and head for the
laboratory to try out the disks he found from the safe.


}Laboratory:
------------
Benjamin uses the floppy disk he found from the safe with the
floppy
toaster and the program starts to load. The machine then asks for a
password and Ben cleverly uses the password note he found from
the
trashcan. The password works and the program appears on the
screen.
Benjamin clicks the elevator to go up, and the computer starts to
process...

Ben suddenly remembers the neatly ironed, firmly folded, still
covered in
plastic clothes in the bedroom closet and decides to go and have
another
look...


}Bedroom:
---------
To Ben's amazement, the clothes in the closet are gone, and there's an
elevator booth in the closet instead. Not hesitating for a moment, Ben
jumps into the closet and the elevator starts to descent...


}Basement:
----------
Ben finds himself in a secret basement and notices a strange looking
apparatus. He sees an open hatch with a battery beside the
apparatus
and picks the battery up. Ben places the battery inside the remote
control.

Ben sees a deep looking shaft, which might come in handy later on,
when it's time to escape from the mansion...

Ben goes back to the elevator and heads upstairs.

I'm running win2000pro and trying to get alien incident to work. Installed dosbox for the first time and changed the dosbox.conf lines like it said in the tutorial to mount the directory the game is in. Then I dragged the ai.com icon onto the dosbox icon. It starts ok and asks if I want english, english with subtitles, etc. I select one and then it crashes, giving the error "Runtime error 002 at 11ed:00fa", and "Thank you for playing alien incident"! Uh, you're not welcome. What am I doing wrong?

From the review:

"Before you can play the game, you must first configure it with setup.exe. I found choosing the sound blaster 16 option worked well with doxbox. Then when the game is configured properly, you start it by selecting a file called AI. The game should start and play smoothly from then on."

Did you run the setup?

[dragonladyohio]

Timpsi, yes, I did run the setup and chose the same option you did. Any other ideas?

*SPOILER*












I'm having a hard time understanding why there's laserbeams in the cemetary, and why the password is located on a runestone and is "Look, a blueberry!". I'm also wondering why there's an underground "village" behind the lasers...

Is this all explained in the intro????

Things just to be there for no apparent reason. :eeeeeh:

I'm not sure what to think of it. I think it's a good game for young newcomers to the genre, but I mainly just hung in there until the finish to see if it ever got better. Still Prisoner of Ice is a lot worse.

[Sebatianos]

Well the game seems to have a slightly mixed up story...
There are some things that just seem sensless, but are actually fun. But this is a wicked game: I mean you have to... *SPOILERS*


- blow up your freind's house
- poison a parrot
and
- set free a terrible alien monster that eats other aleins...

That's evil :twisted: , poor parrot!

Hmmm...that could mean you haven't configured dosbox properly.

Do you have this entry at the end of the dosbox.conf:

[autoexec]
# Lines in this section will be run at startup.
mount C C:\DOS\CDrive
mount D D:\ -t cdrom
C:
CLS



'D' being your CD rom drive.

I promise you that when properly configured this game works beautifully in dosbox.

I'm also having truble running this game in dosbox. I added the lines to my config file, but I still get "No CD-rom drivers found". And I really really really want to play this game

In case the D drive is not your CD-ROM drive: you did change the *second* D?

I.e. when F is your CD-ROM drive, it should read

mount D F:\ -t cdrom

Otherwise, I don't know. Typing "intro cdrom" may provide some clues.

same problem here....Not using dosbox, I just licked on setup.exe, did what everyone else did, clicked on AI, did what everyone else did.

RUNTIME ERROR 003 at 11ED:00FA
THANKS FOR PLAYING ALIEN INCIDENT!

^seriously, WTF? My system is not that lame, trust me, my PC can run other stuff perfectly, like Blood, Rise of the Dragon, Maniac Mansion Deluxe, Alone in the Dark.....Why not this??

Please help???? P.s. I am DOS illiterate, so you'll have to bear with me, LOL.

I guess i'll never get to play this then. What a shame.
