> > > > > < LTABLE 3 "How do I stop the bulldozer?" "There's a tried and true method for stopping bulldozers." "Have you tried phoning the police?" "Have you tried to PROTEST or asked PROSSER, STOP THE BULLDOZER?" "Have you tried to STAND IN FRONT OF THE BULLDOZER?" "In case you haven't figured it out from these subtle clues, you want to LIE DOWN IN FRONT OF THE BULLDOZER." "BLOCK THE BULLDOZER, STOP THE BULLDOZER, or LIE DOWN also work." "You'll have to wait a few turns after you lie down before the bulldozer finally grinds to a halt." > < LTABLE 3 "What should I do about the dog?" "Have you examined the dog?" "If you haven't figured it out, you'll find out more later."> > > < LTABLE 3 "What's this Guide Ford gives me?" "That's the Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy." "It's the single most useful thing an intergalactic hitchhiker (or Infocom game player) can have." "See the Hitchhiker's Guide question in the General Questions section for more information." > < LTABLE 3 "How do I open the case?" "There's a switch and a keyboard attached to the case." "SAVE first, then try typing on the keyboard. For example, TYPE \"HELLO.\"" "Well, perhaps that wasn't such a great idea. Try flipping the switch." "If the recording was gibberish, you'll have to find a way to translate it." "See the question about the babel fish." "Once you have the babel fish, flip the switch again." "Now you know what to type. Just wait around to hear the captain's poetry reading and see the question about what's going on in the Captain's Quarters." > < LTABLE 3 "What is a babel fish?" "Consult the Guide."> < LTABLE 3 "What's the gibberish I hear?" "It's an announcement in Vogonese." "If you want to understand the announcement, you'll have to discover a way to translate it." "See the questions about the babel fish." "The announcement will begin 18 turns after you enter the Vogon Hold, or 3 turns after you obtain the babel fish." > > < LTABLE 3 "How does the Nutrimat work?" "All you have to do is touch the touch-sensitive pad." "The Nutrimat does all the rest, and in seconds you'll have your very own cup of incredibly delicious Advanced Tea Substitute (ATS)." "Well, maybe not so delicious. But at least useful." "Actually, there is a way to get something else from the Nutrimat." "It's a cup of tea (REAL tea, not ATS)." "But first, you'll need something that isn't in the Galley." "In fact, it isn't even in the Heart of Gold." "Don't go on unless you have the Nutrimat/Computer Interface (not to be confused with the shipping carton for the interface)." "Use the interface." "Open the service panel and remove the circuit board. Now, put the interface inside the Nutrimat. Finally, touch the pad!" "Still having trouble getting tea? See the question about the missile attack. It's the last question in this section." > < LTABLE 3 "Is anything in the Engine Room?" "Have you gotten into the Engine Room? If not, you should do so before looking at the next hint." "The game claims that there's nothing interesting there." "However, after losing that argument with you, the game is probably a bit peeved and is acting petulant." "You'll have to be persistent if you want to find out what's in the Engine Room." "Type LOOK three times. The game will then give in and describe the room and the stuff there." > > > < LTABLE 3 "How can I enter the Heart of Gold?" "Until Trillian shows up, the game won't even let you try." "After Trillian shows up, attempting to enter the Heart of Gold is deadly." "Don't go on unless you've disarmed the guards (see the previous question)." "This isn't helpful all by itself, since the guards pick up their rifles and still shoot you if you break for the ship." "You have to figure out a way to get rid of the guards or the rifles permanently." "The guards will NOT leave the scene, no matter what you do." "Trying to shoot the guards doesn't work either." "There is, however, a way to dispose of the rifles." "Take the blaster from Trillian and shoot the rifles. Alternatively you can just ASK TRILLIAN TO SHOOT THE PILE OF RIFLES." "Once you've destroyed the rifles, it's safe to enter the ship."> > > < LTABLE 3 "What should I do about Arthur?" "According to the introductory text for this scene, why did you come here?" "What did Ford do at this point when you were Arthur?" "Try to give the towel to Arthur." "The towel is inside your satchel."> > > > < LTABLE 3 "What are all these tools for?" "Have you examined them?" "Many of them are rather excitingly high-tech, aren't they?" "They don't really have much use..." "...until the very end of the game." "See the question about opening the hatch in the Heart of Gold section." "Marvin will ask for one of ten different tools." "A list of all ten, and their locations, follows. You shouldn't look at this list unless you're completely stumped, because it will give away a lot." "Flathead screwdriver: in your Bedroom. Toothbrush: in your Bedroom. Tweezers: inside Trillian's handbag. Molecular hyperwave pincer: on the Bridge. Ionic diffusion rasp: in the Engine Room. Hypersonic pliers: in the Engine Room. Thermo-fusion chisel: in Marvin's Pantry. Laser-assisted monkey wrench: inside the toolbox on the speedboat. Ultra-plasmic vacuum awl: in the War Chamber. Number twelve asteroid paint chipper: you're holding it when you return from your adventure at the end of the Traal scene." > < LTABLE 3 "How can I read the footnotes?" "You obviously didn't read your manual very carefully. That's explained in the section entitled Important Commands." >> >>>
