Hi! I have a couple of questions about "Indy", on the Mac (natch!):
(1) Has anyone tried to run Indy under System 7? Does it work?
[careful... a spoiler may follow...]
(2) I've gotten to the castle, and can find all sorts of neet stuff on
the first floor. When I get to the second floor, I can also find some
neat stuff, but get beat up by guards if I try to go back downstairs.
If I knock out a guard, I generally loose all my vitality, and the next
guard does me in (Footnote: I get really annoyed that when I get killed,
and want to restore a saved game, I have to go through the "translation
notebook" deal. But I digress). The manual states that you don't have to
fight to get through the game, and I'd be interested in some hints on how
to do this. Also, w.r.t. the second floor of the castle, I have a hunch
that you can only go forward, and not back to the first floor, after
getting to the second floor, unless you want to beat up a guard, and
subsequently get killed. I haven't really pursued that possibility.
Subtle hints preferred, any and all hints gratefully accepted!
Thanks in advance!
