You may see it differently, but I think that's one of DOTT's (and Maniac Mansion's) strengths, not a weakness.calvinfoo wrote:Enchantermon wrote:Xandarius wrote:none of the adventure games require you to pass the items around and control three characters at the same time and at three different zones, and inter-related to each other.

Re: This game is way too difficult
Eh? To send an item, you click "Give", click the item, then click the picture of the person you want to send it to. Doesn't get much simpler than that.Xandarius wrote:You're right that DOTT doesn't make it easy to try out different items.

Re: Can something be done with the chest in the lab?
This actually makes it seem less likely. That would be the type of jedi mind trick that I would play if I were in their position. Perhaps...or perhaps the devs, knowing you would think that way, decided to put something there after all. However, knowing that we would know that they would know that ...

A couple more bugs in KQIII Redux
I haven't seen these mentioned anywhere, so I'll throw them out there. One happens in Cloud Land after you rescue Rosella. I was just messing around a little, and I went to the far left of Cloud Land and tried to get as close as I could to the edge without falling off. When I got out onto the tip of...

Re: Easter Eggs / Sierra (and other) references in KQ3R
It's a musical reference, yeah. I very specifically requested Tom to add the KQ4 fanfare to the final musical piece and his rendition sounds way better than the original ever did. Indeed it does; it was quite beautiful. There's several subtle musical references to other Sierra titles in the soundtr...

Re: Easter Eggs / Sierra (and other) references in KQ3R
I don't know if this counts, but I noticed that the KQIV title theme plays in the hat toss sequence at the very end of the game. Very nice rendition, and it gave me chills when I heard it, as it foreshadowed what was about to happen.

Re: On the island *spoiler*
Wait...so are my eyes playing tricks on me then? Because I swear I see the elephant, newt, owl and rabbit hidden in the foliage on that screen (and I was assuming that the animals hidden there were the ones that go on the gate, which is obviously wrong).

Ah-ha! That would explain why doing what I did triggered the sequence. Thanks for looking into it.Erpy wrote:I took a closer look at the code and it seems there was another bit in there that decreased the odds that had to do with the criteria that would usually make Manannan zap you.

Gotcha, thanks for clearing that up Erpy. I started getting the feeling that it was a glitch too, because the probability was just horrible. It's strange that doing seemingly unrelated things seemed to fix it, but I guess that's just coincidence. Well, at least you know it's there. :) Ironically, on...

Re: Fly Wing Woes
Then you have to try again. I, too, occasionally saw the cat appear in the tower before the sequence triggered. Hmm. Even with going down the stairs to the foyer of the house and going back up to the observation room didn't help; it still took ten minutes for the trigger (this time, it was just befo...

Re: Fly Wing Woes
You mean you've gone up the stairway when the cat was at the bottom of the stairway? If so, that won't work; as MI said, the cat cannot be at the bottom in order to trigger the sequence.Solarkid wrote:i've been going in and out of the tower, each time when the cat was there and no sequence seems to trigger

Okay, so.....what conditions have to be fulfilled for this sequence to occur? Because I've been walking up and down the stairs for the past five minutes (literally; I've been watching the clock) and it hasn't yet happened. What's going on?

Re: Future Remake: Part Deux
So many choices... I think I would have to go with KQIV, Camelot, and KQVIII, in that order, and the reasons have pretty much all been stated already. KQIV because you've already done outstanding jobs on the first two (and the third, from what I've seen so far) and that game really deserves it, Came...
