If you mean the version on the main site, it's non-talkie. It's possible with the one in the ISO Cellar, though. (hello russ )

[edit] But it seems I can't find back the way I've done it. I should write down the solutions I discover - bad memory, you know... [/edit]

I have the talkie version,but the options are: only speech or only text.
Any tips ?

Very nice game,but it has a big problem: Without the right items you cant finish the game,so i will post here these items for who dont want to use a walktrough.

WARNIG SPOILER

You need these items in the inventory at begining of Act 5,otherwise you CANT complete the game

Wire, Snake lasso, Smelling salts, Lantern, FULL snake oil bottle, Cheese


Ok,now if you want the happy ending you need these items in the inventory before the end of the game:

Dagger of Amon Ra, Watney's police file, Ankh Medallion, Red hair, Pocket watch, Wire cutters, Carbon
paper, Bifocals, Pippin's notepad, a Garter, Grapes, Warthog hairs, and
Yvette's shoe.

Thats all,Enjoy the game

Okay: hard question. Does anyone know how to help me with this? I get to the museum, I do everything I need to do, I talk to everybody about everything, but then I need to "eavesdrop on conversations". I'm supposed to sidle up to various groups and wait for about 16 conversations to take place, and then the stevedore is supposed to show up. None of this happens! Any ideas, anyone?

Hi Arete.......Haven't played this game for a while but I do remember the bit you are asking about and I had that problem too so I went back and checked everything I had done before. If you have missed something like an item or speaking to someone etc...(sorry to be so vague) then you will find yourself wandering around the museum forever...I loved this game and had no technical problems at all...sorry I can't be of more help....SAL
Just had another thought..as you talk to people take a note of how many you talk to and look at everything . Try to pick up everything. I don't want to spoil anything for you but need to be sure that you have talked to everyone and picked up what you need to....SAL

Could anybody help me with a problem, please? I have installed the game and it functions rather well, but if I try to save it while playing, it starts to slow down and takes an enormous amount of time to find the folder which contains the savegame files and the same time to save it. Since this is a game in which a player has to save very often, all these slowdowns can become extremely annoying. Do you know it there is any patch that can solve the problem? I can't find any on internet.

P.S.
Sorry, if I did some grammatical errors - English is not my mother language.

I can haz a hint? I think I've got everything, and I've spoken to everyone I can think of. I even went into the back room, but was kicked out by the security guard for "szpooking zer mastodons". Hur hur. I checked two walkthroughs, and they didn't mention anything I didn't do.

I'm having the same problem with this game on DosBox that I had when I played the original floppy version back in the day. There's a bug that happens during a specific scene involving Yvette Delacroix and Steve Dorian.

SPOILERS just in case...

Shortly after you find the body of Ernie Leach and the dagger of Amon Ra, you encounter Yvette Delacroix crying in her office about how much she loved Ernie. Laura Bow eventually excuses herself to let Yvette grieve in peace, and leaves the office. At this point you're supposed to encounter Steve Dorian outside in the hallway (I must have played this game a LOT as a kid to remember this!). However the bug that happens is Laura leaves the office and is out in the hallway with the Thinker statue, and there's no Steve Dorian there, and the game permanently freezes. I've reloaded time and again but I keep getting stuck in this spot and I can't for the life of me remember what we did originally to get past this glitch because I remember the glitch well, but I also know that I was able to play the game all the way through several times.

Does any one know of this specific glitch and a patch that fixes it? I love this game and I'm bummed that I can't get past that spot.

I got hooked on this game over a decade ago and absolutely became enchanted by the speakeasy scene... But the download available here is the lean version. Anyone know where I can get the meaty CD version?
