Help! A friend of mine bought Captive yesterday, and we have had trouble getting anywhere. We go to the planet BUTRE (supposed home of ABCCSI) and through the iris-door. Inside, we get teleported to a short passage with a seemingly unopenable iris-door at one end, and a wall that looks like it's on rollers at the other end. The passage is about four squares long, has a powerpoint about half down one side, and has a pile of explosives to pick up. This is where we get stuck. We cannot open the iris door. We can't even push the buttons in the corner. We can't seem to move the wall on rollers. We zap both of them with energy from the powerpoint but nothing. We bump into and punch every wall in the passage, but nothing. Twice (out of many tries) the panel of wall to the RIGHT of the wall on rollers opened, leading into a nice maze, and a couple of monsters came out - pixies with axes, and shrieker thingies. We don't know how we opened this wall or whether we had anything at all to do with it. We waited to see if the pixies opened it from the other side, but no. We just cannot work out what could have done to open the door! Also, we have trouble saving the game. Maybe the game disk is stuffed? Any suggestions are welcomed... ++-+---------------------------------------------------------------------+-+-++ ||*| Amiga Rules! ====================================================== |#|#|| ++-+---------------------------------------------------------------------+-+-++ | John Marley.
