So I have a question for y'all that maybe you can give me a hand with.

I own the original hard disks of LB2... and since way back when I was younger and playing it I've always had one room I'm never allowed into... the African Death Mask room... the one where your suppose to find Ziggy's head... if I go into the room I can see Laura clearly.... but the entire room becomes a kaleidoscope of rainbow colors and frozen static... I can still move but if I attempt to leave the room or click on anything other than walking the dame locks up...

Any suggestions? Or maybe I just have a bad set of discks... which would suck since they're over a decade old...

a corrupt file, most definitely.

Ugh drat! Figures! Durn lazy old people who don't return what's broke! (I refer to my grandfather who initially bought the game...but I digress) Oh well back to the ol' drawing board... thanks Horseman

I might send you a working copy of the bad file, if you like.
First make MD5 checksums of all files in the game directory, and send that checksum to me.

hi i'm stuck in my game, when being chased by the killer i forgot to open the window on the empoyees only door and just pushed the chair in front of it. then i ran to the mummy room and hid then i saved. so now everytime i start the game the killer just comes in and kills me. is there anyway i could reload the next act and start over?? please help thanks!

Afraid not, if you save too far ahead you will continue to die repeatedly.

Sierra games can be fun but are very unforgiving

will this game the dagger of amon ra work in wondows xp?

Just read the compatibility info in the review. Only one line above the link to this thread, you know.
And to answer your question: yes.

Ok guys, I d9ownloaded this game from another abandonware site, but if i try to open them, they say they are not compatible with my computer or something. I really want ot play! Is there anything else that I need to download to be able to play? Any help would be great, thanks!

Have you extracted the ZIP or RAR archive or are you trying to run the game from inside it?

As for extra compatiblity enchancers, you might try using VDMSound and if that fails, DosBox. VDMSound consumes less system resources, but may experience problems with certain games. DosBox needs you to be a bit more computer-savy and willing to experiment with different settings, but it is by far and large the best DOS emulator around, and runs most of the games perfectly (albeit some of them might need a tweak or two in your config file)

When I got out from the newspaper's building and called the taxi, the game simply hangs. The taxi comes, stops near Laura, the pointer changes into halt hand and that's all. Have anyone encountered similiar thing in this game?

I am playing on DOSBox
