Hotel Detective

Another bad crack?

There is only version of this game as far as i know (my Tosec is a bit old). The one cracked by Vision Factory.

The problem is that there is not enough bad guys showing up in the doors before the timer runs out. 99% of all times there is good guys behind the doors.

Not even the first level can be completed.

There seems to be another version for you to try.

Real interrogation?
Although with time things evolved with heavy specialization from the beginning, it was not uncommon to see people work on different aspects of games. See for instance Manfred Trenz doing everything for Super Turrican (NES):
http://www.mobygames.com/game/nes/super-turrican_

However, if you really think this is too weird, I guess it could be investigated since there have been previous cases of different game artists with the same name.
I don't think that would be the case here, you can see through the different games he was involved with a transition from musician to coder (91/92 being the turnpoint it seems).

Thanks,

Same problem with the other version.

Could it be that I'm playing the game wrong? Can someone else try the game please?

Did you stay in one spot or move around? Try holding down right mouse button and moving left or right to scroll new doors into view. This only works when all three doors are closed. I was able to pick off the bomber, ninja and phantom in a short space of time.

EDIT: Above the timer are two balls. Sometimes these change to arrows. I think they may show the way you need to go next. Finished one level, message says "ENTERING NEXT FLOOR"

Thanks mate

I knew it was something I did wrong.

Now, wonder if this game has an end.
