Hints and Tips

Sam 'n' Max

Carnival : When you come across the WAK-A-RAT look carefully at
the back. You will find a magnifying lens. Pick this up. Also you
will have to play this game to win something of importance.

Cone of Tragedy: Ride the Cone of Tragedy for a laugh, but also
look in your inventory box. Talk to the guy about it and he will
give you a Lost and Found card. Then go to the Lost and Found
Tent. You get all your gear back plus a fish magnet.

Snucky's: Talk to assistant. He will ramble on. Also he will tell
you how good he is at opening pickle jars and if Max wants to go
to the bathroom the assistant will give him a key with a rasp on.
When Max goes out, quickly leave and wait outside until Max
appears then talk to Max about the rasp which you keep.

Bumpsville: First of all look around the house, look at portrait,
pick up portrait. In the bedroom, look at pillow and book, pick up
pillow, use golf ball retriever with hand to get book. At this
stage you cannot get the wig. Go to Virtual Room, talk to guy. Now
go and find the droid. Use droid.  Put all the wires back. Quickly
go to Virtual Room, use virtual, pull sword, slay dragon, get
heart, get key. Go to Music Room, use key in alarm. This part is
tricky.

Space Quest 4

Xenon: After the intro you are time-warped to the future.  This is
where your troubles start. Go W, look at skimmer, search skimmer,
open glovebox, pick up laptop computer, E, E, look at rope, pick
up rope, N, hide behind the pillar, throw rope. Wait for the bunny
to dance in the rope.  Quickly pull the rope. You now have the
bunny. Look at bunny, remove power pellet. Look at the grate
across the road from where you are standing. Walk over and lift

grate.  You will automatically go down. One other thing, don't let
the ZOMBIE get you.

Once you get a time machine, remember to write down the codes you
see on the panel.

Underwater Fortress: After you have been captured by the lovely
Latex Babes and tied down (no, it isn't that type of game) and
nearly tortured, you hear a great roar. The Babes run. It is a
giant sea slug. Quickly use the acid on the clamp. When your hands
are free, quickly press the button to activate the laser. The sea
slug will withdraw his tendrils. Quickly pick up a canister and
throw it into the sea slug's mouth which blows him away.
Cut-scene.
