General Notes.
(1) Take and wear the pants and trenchcoat immediately, since the bedroom
door will lock behind you.
(2) From time to time, one of Malone's thugs will appear to warn you how
little time you have left; take one of the cigar rings that he drops.
(3) Before going outside, visit the Casino and play blackjack at the table
of your former sparring partner. To play blackjack, select all of your
chips (with the shift-click method if using the mouse), then click on
'operate' and the table. Your friend will then deal the cards. If your card
total is close to 21, click on 'Hit' and then the table; otherwise, click
on 'Hit' and then the 'Self' button. Ordinarily your former partner will
let you win. When he is replaced, use 'Shift-click' to select all your
chips and drag them to your inventory immediately. Otherwise the new dealer
may confiscate your chips.
(4) Going South from the desert-related locations often leads to getting
lost in a desert maze.
(5) Once you have enough money, head directly for the train station.
(6) Do not wander around the Las Vegas desert, or you will be bitten by
snakes.
(7) You should only travel East and West from the entrance to the Lucky
Dice Hotel/Casino.
(8) You will need to travel to and from Chicago by train; boarding trains
for other destinations will get you killed.
(9) In Chicago, you can travel to different locations by cab but will have
to SHOW addresses to the Cabbie, since he cannot hear you.
(10) Wear the Police uniform only for the Morgue, and change back to your
regular clothes before leaving Chicago.
(11) In places where you must wait, make time pass by double clicking on
objects (to examine them).
(12) Ignore the bag lady near Joe's Bar, as well as all food, bottles and
the references to cigarettes, since these are not connected with winning
the game.
(13) Turn your printer on before the finale!
