This little Flash Game will only help you to waste a few minutes, but it's kind of fun!

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.

Received this clicking your link Bruce.

It's working now, Bill. When I pasted the URL into the original post, it ended up with double http://.

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.

I just copy and paste in the Reply Window.

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

Hi Kelly, I usually copy/paste too. That time, for whatever reason, it didn't work and I didn't notice.

Well... yes, it goes on till you help the little guy divert the asteroid from colliding with his home. you have to find the clues

Ok. I was getting nowhere fast. Wondered if there was more.

Bill · « **Reply #6 on:** September 08, 2003, 07:25:14 PM »

Figured as much Bruce. Should of looked before posting what I received but didn't.

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>

Well. i can see the game with Safari

May be because I just update Java to 1.4.1?

But I still can't figure out the game

Cute!

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!

Fun.

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.

krissel,

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!

That first one with the wheels had me stuck the longest.

Bill. Many clickables are just Red Herrings.

They don't do anything really.

Bill · « **Reply #12 on:** September 09, 2003, 04:20:43 PM »

I'd like to know more than how the game is played is why my Safari or Camino can't view these type files, or more precise how can I rectify the situation.?.

Pascalin · « **Reply #13 on:** September 09, 2003, 06:47:35 PM »

Bill.

Did you install the latest version of Java?

That may help.

Is working fine in my Safary on my iMac G4

Where's your flash plug in?

Check to make sure it's here: /Library/Internet Plug-Ins

My Shockwave Flash plug-in version is: 6.0 r29
