Suggestions ?

Dosbox is the way to go - read the review for setting up sound, etc - worked for me!

Have to love this game! We need more women in gaming!!!! For example - what about that first joke when you go down the chute - 'oh chute!' !!! Brilliant!

That sucks, but the game has replay value!:laugh:

What rank didja get? I got the third/middle one. It was a revelation when I found you could open the clock and cabinets. Whole new game!

[Capo]

Yes! The secret door really change the whole game.

I get the second highest rank: i miss the bad girl perfume in the secret passage and who know what else

I have no idea how to get to the attic early on. I can't get the key! Also, I am mystified by the elevator.

[Capo]

You can ge to the attic using the elevator,you find the key later on the game.

[ViewtifulChris]

How do I use the elevator?

When it's in the Colonel's room he says "GET AWAY FROM MY ELEVATOR!".

Such a delightful game, by the way. One of the best things I've gotten from here.

You can take the elevator also in the lower floor,anyway the colonel isn't always in his room :amused:

Next time I play I'll pay close attention to the elevator.

Very possibly the best game (in my opinion) ever put out during this period. The levels of depth a player can get into are almost endless. I recall spending 48 hours straight, playing the game repeatedly, before finally getting a perfect sleuth score. The type interface makes such a game as this daunting at first, but soon allows for much greater interaction with the plot and players. I beg you not to cheat and read a walk-through... finding the clues yourself is a great thrill. Also, all of the bodies except for two (the first and the last) can be found two places (excluding the third in which all of them can be seen), and if you get to the end, think before you strike. Good luck, and have fun (play it with the lights off and sound up... when Ethel suddenly appears drunk around the estate, you'll have a heart attack.)
The sequel couldn't nearly compare, though it would have had a better shot without the horrible conversation interface.
