Can someone help me? I tried to download the copy protection book twice already and it won't open! When I open it in Acrobat Reader v4.0 it says "There was an error opening this document. This viewer cannot decrypt this document." I was downloading it in Firefox too... Is there any way to view it (program... text...)

I had the same problem as you had initially. I had to go to the Adobe website and download a whole new version of Adobe reader. Version 7.0.8 I think. Be sure to choose the right OS when you download. If it's not for Mac, you can click the link directly above the dropdown menu that says something like "choose a different OS".

After you download, install it, etc then...well then, I am stuck now cos of the problem I posted before.. [color=#993399]

While still figuring out how to type the secret word into the textbox at the beginning, I happened to click on the eye of the phantom's mask. Kinda entertained me for awhile cos it suddenly started spewing out threats. hah!

But now, I am once again sitting in anguish, wrecking my brains on how I should proceed. Anyone out there who has the same problem as me? (Unable to type the secret word because everytime I click the screen it just takes me back to the "Return of the Phantom" music & graphic sequence.

*sigh*

Don't click on anything, just type in the word.

After you have updated Adobe Reader, you should be able to double click on the manual to open it. k:

Hehehe. Hey, don't worry about it. Glad it works now, so you can enjoy the game. :brain:

I found a torrent of the full CD version with speech should anyone want it.

*snipety snip*

Use bitcomet or another torrent program. Well worth the download.
Oh..and if you do get it...move the directory \RESOURCE from your install directory to your root C:\ drive once you've installed. That's the only way to get the speech working.

I removed your link, as I can not verify the games hosted on that site. And as it is a torrent site, I expent there could be hiding a lot of warez there. So for precaution's sake, I have removed the link.

Played this game when it was out. Good atmosphere and nice puzzles. Another great game by Microprose (those guys were great, they also release UFO: EU).

I find myself wondering aimlessly in the catacombs. Every turn seems to lead to a slightly new chamber with several archways before me to choose from. Alas, I must have stumbled into the dreaded maze some of you have forewarned me of.

I have reached an opening having walked through two narrow tunnels, and have now come to a platform overlooking the sewerage lake, from the opposite end of the tunnel entrance (or so I presume). There are thick arch structures which seem to be supporting the otherwise crumbling walls of the catacombs.

Oh what a lonely place this is, apart from the intermittent skull, or rat's nest, or drain, every now and again. I save and recount my progress frequently, lest I should lose my way (or mind), through these sordid chambers.

Wish me luck, my fellow comrades, and for those who went before me, I would take my hat off you, if only I had remembered to wear it throughout this investigation.

Before the light from my lantern fades, I am in a constant dilemma as to whether I should find the easier way out by referring to a map of the maze, I seemed to have read about in prior journalistic entries of investigators who have come before me. However, at this juncture, my resolve has not been extinguished, and I shall continue this journey alone for a little while longer, before I too, perhaps, succumb to only other inevitible course of action.

Hey Lotus

Yeah, that maze is really hard, and the sewer lake is a good reference point to save your game at.

If you do look at the maps, remember the solution is different for Easy Mode and Challenge Mode.
