Brings back all kind of frustration...... That Inn....terrible!
Still got the game but I feel no urge of replaying.

Yes, but still can't get the door open.

I don't like that hand either. The small hand they had for Myst Exile
was much better, or even an arrow would be OK, but its sometimes hard to
know what the hand movements mean.
How did you make the hand blue?

Ah, yes, The Black Mirror! Now that was a great game in my opinion. Would
like more of that. We also played The Moment of Silence; it was nice, but a
lot of talking to do. Runaway was kind of cool too; looking forward to
Runaway 2. And Keepsake looks interesting, but it will not run on Win98SE,
so I'm afraid an (XP or worse) upgrade lies at hand. Well, I'll read all
about it here, of course!
Ciao, E-Cie.

Good! At least you got English, which you understand well. I find it
helpful to have subtitles in games and TV and DVD movies

You mean where you press the red button? I did that but nothing
happened. How do you get the door open - no hints, just outright
answers. Maybe once I get going I'll do better - I hope

I wouldn't have thought of that, but I don't see much benefit of
changing the hand unless maybe you can see it better in another color.

> I did'nt chop of someones hand

Blue and turquoise are my favourite colors, but I don't think changing
the hand color to blue would make me feel I didn't or did chop off
someones hand. Is your imagination getting the better of
you

Sometimes its a womans world - maybe not about elevators though, unless
you're stuck in one with a man

No not there....go back to where Atrus was standing......

Did you met Atrus? He was standing near the crystal viewer....see the steam
coming out??
From there turn slowly to the right....opposite from where the light is
coming in.....you see a lever....and yes even a blue hand can handle the
lever....

I replayed it after buying the DVD version. For some reason I liked the
game overall despite the extraordinary aggravations. The graphics were
imaginative and the soundtrack made the gameworld come alive for me.
I liked the soundtrack so much I bought it from overseas from
musicexpress.com . I'd have liked the game better without all the sudden
deaths though.

I imagine changing CD's would be a nightmare unless they copied a good bit
of the game to the hard drive during the install... Hi back to you Barbara.

I had no idea you could do that. How weird.
I didn't like the hand. I didn't like having to wait for it to finish
waving around all the time before you could grab something with it.
