Killing the Ballroom ghosts: I have yet to test this again, since I have no saves before this point in the game, but I'll tell you what happened. I walked over to the side table in the corner of the room and happened to be facing the wall (still struggling with the controls) when I used the 'Dance of Death' record. Since there was no room to put the grammaphone down, the message appeared, 'there is no room,' but the music played and the ghosts danced anyway (all the while the record and grammaphone were still in my inventory). I thought 'that's weird,' and waited for my moment to grab the key, when I got it I ran back to the door. Just as I got there a female ghost's hooped dress brushed against me and that weird noise played, I kept running out the door. Instead of the many coloured disks I expected chasing me, all the ghosts died. I don't know which action killed them or if it was a combination of the two, but I'm fairly certain it was exiting the room just as I touched a ghost. It would be great if someone else would try it and post the results.

(UPDATE) LOL... The ghosts always die when you get the key and exit the ballroom, the thing with the grammaphone was strange though. Also you can kill the library monster just by blocking with the correct dagger.

Hi, everyone. I thought you might enjoy my "Matt Chat" retrogaming retrospective on this great game.

From what I recall, there are three gramophone records available in the game. Only one will result in the death of the ghosts, so you don't need to run past them. I think it might have been "blue danube" but I'm not sure.

All right, so I've downloaded it, and I'm running it on DOSBox, but I can't get any sound. Any solutions?

Have you configured the game's sound correctly?

try yelling out really loud

So i've been playing the game, a fair way through and had to stop. We all gotta eat some time right?! I went back to load the saved game and it loads my exact position (in the smoking room) but as soon as I hit any of the controls it freezes me out. What do I do?!

What are your DOSBox and game sound settings?

I haven't played the floppy version that AB has but if you have another save you might want to rethink your strategy when entering that room if you haven't taken care of the cigar. You don't live long in there if you don't. Could be that the death scene is locking the game up and avoiding that unfortunate event could allow you to progress.
