in Shadow of time

[PiCiJi]

I am looking for the batteries. I have the newspaper and the other part for the doc. I have found a batterie in the lightgun at home. I have inserted this batterie in the taperecorder. I can't remove it anymore. What to do now?

[Joe Maroni]

you need the taperecorder later...not in the first chapter..

[PiCiJi]

that means my savegame is scrap? Are there other blind alleys in the game? Damn, the game saves only on the same file.

I noticed this to. Is it possible to change the save option, x_to. I guess it would be better to have several save slots. After you've selected a slot you can only use this one for further saves. Very annoying when you noticed that you've made some mistakes before the last save.

Click simply on the "S" key while playing.

Uups, just overlooked the "S" hotkey, many thanks for the info. Works like a charm.

1. you can´t do any mistakes in the game, you´ll never do any mistakes and if the game crashs its saving the last game position as an emergency save...!!!

2. to find other key commands hit the HELP button during game

have fun while playing...and by the way...don´t try every 64 codes at the chemistry set...the right combination is 4-1-3

its a hidden "copy-protection"

Many thanks for the infos, x_to. Maybe it's time now to play this little gem.

[PiCiJi]

no blind alleys...thats nice. But can you give me a hint where to get the batteries or how to remove the ones in the taperecorder?

[Joe Maroni]

why did you need batteries ???

the only ones you already got are those that you insert in the taperecorder

[PiCiJi]

The doc needs batteries. I have an energy pack. But there is no usefull description. I am stuck.

[Murakami]

And what about the string ? How to use it ?

[Joe Maroni]

the string must be used inside the gun shop...somewhere...

and did you tried to get the batteries again in the bedroom...??
i don´t remember that i was able to put in the batteries in the taperecorder in the first chapter.
do you have the AGTW version..???

[PiCiJi]

yes I have the version from http://agtw.abime.net/

Is something wrong with it?

No I couldn't get the batteries from the lightgun again.

[Murakami]

@ x_to

Sorry, I'd rather say spring, not string ! :-)

you already own the batteries...!!!

it doesn´t matter if they are already inside the tape recorder or not...the professor just want to be sure that you have them on your long long journey...

is it that hard to understand..???

try to get the other things....you already solved that problem...

[PiCiJi]

but I have the three things, the doc wanted from me. the batteries in the taperecorder, the newspaper from the bum and the part from the radio shop. If i give the newspaper or the part to the doc, the hero says, that he doesn't have all things. If i talk with the doc, there is nothing new. So what to the hell is missing?

seems to be a bug, I have done all what you have written. Do you want my savegame for testing? I bet, the problem is the batterie, which I have inserted in the taperecorder. In the next days I want to try the game from beginning.

[Joe Maroni]

yes please...post it in the zone..
