I have no idea whether 56k modem connections will have a hard time with it. If you're on a phone modem and decide to take a look, please come back and post your opinion.

I wish that window for pasting the URL's didn't have anything in it. If you don't remember to delete what's in there, that's what happens.

Is there more to that game than the wheels turning for a little while?

Had to fire up IE to view the flash (swf) though.
I know it's on my end as to why Safari or Camino doesn't view a lot of those files.
Never have figured out why.
btw. I'm lost on how the game is played? <gr>

May be because I just update Java to 1.4.1?
But I still can't figure out the game

Reminded me of MYST, very creative but easier than MYST (thank God for that).
Bill, should I give you a hint...a spoiler, if you will....?
The squirell with the gramophone was a hoot!

I almost got stuck in the scene with the little guy at the cabin door but then I put on my glasses...
On dialup I had to wait a few minutes for each section to load but once loaded it worked OK, til the next scene had to load.

I did the same thing with the cabin door, even with my glasses on!
Bill, the hints are fairly straight forward, for the most part. If you find something that interacts with a mouse click, then you have found a clue. After that, just think about the consequences of each interaction. Some of it makes no sense at all, but you see how everything connects when you've solved the puzzle.
Keep Click'in Away!

Bill. Many clickables are just Red Herrings.
They don't do anything really.

Did you install the latest version of Java?
That may help.
Is working fine in my Safary on my iMac G4

Check to make sure it's here: /Library/Internet Plug-Ins
My Shockwave Flash plug-in version is: 6.0 r29

No problem running the lil game on my PC Running XP Pro
Post by: Bill on September 09, 2003, 08:50:32 PM
No I haven't. The download is too large for my dialup. I'll have to wait till I can get on a speedier system.
Kps: = Library>internet plug ins - Shockwave flash NP-PPC=6.0r79

You can check your:
Safari>preferences...
Web Content:
[] Enable Plug-ins
[] Enable Java
[] Enable JavaScripts
[] Block pop-up windows
(I have checked every one)

In camino the flash (Bruce) appears to view and play just fine.
In Safari on another system it plays fine also.
The Safari on this system it loads but that is it. Blank page.
Checked preferences. They're fine.
Haven't run permissions yet. That should clear up safari.
If not, then I suspect there could be a bad cookie issue.
Probably a cookie from Florida. Humidity/heat can cause some strange behaviors. <gr>

I haven't downloaded any extra Java or Flash that I recall.
Post by: Bruce_F on September 10, 2003, 02:30:22 AM
I just updated my Flash Player which is now available at VersionTracker.
It makes the little game load even faster! I hope it helps those who are on dialup connections too!
