Title: Time Gentlemen Please
Post by: paolo on Thu 02/07/2009 10:46:29
What no H&T thread yet? Is it just me or is everyone else breezing through this game ???

I've got a long way through the game without getting stuck and so far the puzzles have been just hard enough to be challenging but not so hard that I've been completely stumped, so well done on that, Ben and Dan. But I'll leave the review for after I've finished the game... on with my stuckness.

Spoiler

I think that all my woes stem from not being able to open that bottle of alcohol - there are at least two puzzles that, as far as I can see, will be solved once I've got it open.

Now I have seen something that looks an awful lot like a corkscrew but need to find some way of detaching it from its owner... perhaps something from the construction site will help here?

So could anyone hint on the following, please?

1
Spoiler

Getting the saw from Frank.
[close]

2
Spoiler

Getting the toffee from Frank.
[close]

I think that's probably as much as I need for the time being in order to get further.

Thanks.

Hehe, the "official" and considerably more busy hints/tips thread is at the Zombie Cow forum ;) : http://www.zombie-cow.com/forum/index.php?topic=1672.0

Paolo, some non-specific hints:
Spoiler
Saw--> have you talked to the munitions worker yet?
[close]
Spoiler
Toffee--> He says he's a jumpy sort.  Is there something you have that could give him a bit of a startle?
[close]

Ooh, power of posting... I had another go at the game tonight and worked it out for myself, and it was just as I thought:

getting the toffee from Frank

is the key to fixing a whole load of puzzles. Thanks anyway - that might help someone else.

Thanks for the link too. I hope I don't need it use it :)

But what? I've examined the door, I see a porthole and beyond that something blocking the door. I try using the porthole but that doesnt work, I try using the door it says its buckled. Just in case I even tried "use buckle". I've no idea what to do.

I don't know if it's necessary, but have you tried to capitalize the professors name?

Also, as Mash pointed out, there's an 'official' thread over at the zombie cow studios.

If you've only just started the text adventure you cannot currently complete it. You have to wait until later.
Title: Re: Time Gentlemen Please
Post by: Matti on Thu 30/07/2009 03:52:59
Yes, like Trihan said. Otherwise:

Yes, there's a good walkthrough: It can be found here (http://http:http://jayisgames.com/archives/2009/06/time_gentlemen_please.php).

Ignore the text adventure for now. Tackle some other puzzles. It will become clear later how you solve this.

I'm stuck at the point where
Spoiler

we will use dino-magnet on the nail, because I don't have any dino-magnet yet.
[close]

I have read all the pages here and from the official forums and I still couldn't find out
Spoiler

which new item to use in order to pass the dino-guard. I couldn't find the skateboard that Dan used for relieving Ben, assumed it was what I needed.
[close]

Thanks in advance!

Gord,

You haven't read my walkthrough then :-)

It seems that you first need to solve an issue in time....
Assuming that you are at the professors house and have been to prison first, that is.

Real spoilers:

Spoiler
The magnet can be found on the fridge in prison. Use the reel in your inventory to take the magnetic tape from it and use it to reach the magnet.
The skateboard can be found in the basement after all clocks in the house have been set to the same time.

Oh, thanks!

No, I had read Ultimate Game Solutions (http://gamesolutions.efzeven.nl/time-gentlemen-please-walkthrough-zombie-cow-studios2009/), too and I was stuck at the Time Rips â€" Space ship part of the walkthrough. I hadn't got the magnet before and was unable to go to dungeon again.

Spoiler

But it is very my bad that I missed the "The go through and see the dino-guard marching outside. When he’s not looking, use the flask with oil on the floor and he’ll slip." sentence, it was what I needed.

Thanks again!
