@Sebatianos: Ah, right, I almost forgot to tell you about that squirrel: there's several ways of dealing with it: you can distract it with breadcrumbs (the animal friendly solution) or you can just, well, kill it by using either the giant hairpin or the bread. Quite a lot of puzzles have several solutions, I think. For example I never knew you could stop the bus with a golf club, because that never occurred to me. I always stopped it by having Zak play "Pop Goes the Weasel" on the kazoo.

Well the double headed squirel friendly version would be giving it peanuts you got on the plane k: You can still see the squirel later on.

Yes there are several ways to do something (like waking up the bus driver, or getting the stuff back if you're caught). Actually waking the driver up (or getting rid of the squirel) just let you use mulitple tools and there aren't many such puzzles with this game. Once you get use to the idea and the mood of the game - everything will seem logical (parachute out of a byplane to escape getting captured by aliens and incidentally find Atlantis in the process).

Have you ever managed that winning the lottery bit? I tried it once, but by the time I got back the numbers had changed, I think.

[Sebatianos]

It's easy, but you don't really need to (if you're not making any unnecesary travelling). You just read the lotto-mat and buy the ticket (some time later you'll be the winner if you go back to Lou's Loans (you can win as many times as you like).

[A. J. Raffles]

Yes, but for some reason I couldn't get back to Lou's on time to buy the ticket for the right draw.

[Sebatianos]

Maybe you were too early. If the wrong number was drawn (that's much more likely then the possibility of being too late).

Has anyone who's playing the FM-Towns version in ScummVM had a problem getting audio to work? I'm in windows XP, and I get no audio whatsoever.... anyone?

[Sebatianos]

Well there is always dosbox - works flawelessly.

Look at the options. Or get the latest ScummVM.

You have to get beamed up by the aliens. You have to fly over the bermuda triangle to get there. The pilot tells great jokes...
They have a prediction mashine for the lottery.
It's NECESSARY that you win, cause you have to fly to often that it'll kill your bank account...
