Only 34:31 to complete the game. The video serves as a good walkthrough too...

Is this thread still alive?

Like many of you, i also played this gem when i was younger. What i can recall is from the game and what really bothered me, was that in the actual game case there was some sort of "newspaper" included, in the same way as there were included other material in the Loom case, besides the actual manual. As far as I can recall there was shown an illustrtion of a circus on Mars, but i dont remember finding any circuses on Mars at all while playing. So my question is, if anyone had discovered it or thought about the same thing?

Hi there!

No there ain't a circus on Mars, sorry.
There is however a face-like cave and a pyramid on Mars. And you start off in a Mars hostel.

So you dont know of this "newspaper" which was included in the game case illustrating a circus on Mars? Or maybe my mind is playing tricks on me...

There is a newspaper stand on every airport where there are funny topics to read and I think there's one about some Mars-discovery.
For example there are two ways to get rid of the two-headed squirrel. That affects one topic.

I think what he means is the nice tabloidy manual that came with the game. As far as I remember, there was something about a circus on Mars in there. Not everything that's mentioned in the manual is in the actual game, though.

Exactly my friend Just remembered that that particular thing really annoyed my since i couldnt find any circus. What was also mentioned in the "newspaper" which isnt included in the game as well?

icewolf > thanx for your replies. Maybe i should have written my questions more clearly.

Well, the possibility of losing weight by having a zipper sewn into your stomach, for example. Or the Groucho-Marxified sphinx.
Or maybe I just forgot about those...
