I am in London, trying desperately to find Jack the Ripper. But now I get stuck,and need answers for the following problems. Please help me!

1: I found a crate with loose front face in a warehouse near dock area. 
   Everytime I try to pry it open, I always get a message, telling me I don't
   have the required tool. Where, or how, can I obtain the necessary tool? 

2: I enter the bar in the dock area, the barkeeper denies everything about the
   victim girl Molly Parkin. I leave the bar, just to find I am blocked by three   villains. I've tried many methods but still cannot get pass them. How can I
   get rid of their threat?

I never needed a program to get extra money, you have only to do the following:
	Hold down thet SHIFT key and type FUND.
	This will give you $10,000 to add to your current amount.

Note: the apparent side effect of using this is that disasters will happen 
more often regardless whether you have them turned on or off.

GEnie has the 1.12 version, someone uploaded it on the SCORPIA section.
Unfortunately you have to be signed up w/ GEnie to get it, since they
are not an ftp server......  Hope this helps some of you though.

Hello! I've encountered a possible bug in Megafortress -- when I've got a
hostile missile coming after me, I'd jam it and break left and right,
dispensing chaff and flares while doing so. The message 'whew, looks like it
missed us' will appear, immediately followed by the 'a missile hit us'
message. The missile did hit, because there was damage to my plane. Has anyone
else come across this 'double message' problem and is there a patch for it?
Also, did anyone get the book (Flight of the Old Dog) that was supposed to
come with the game? I've got the Megafortress megapak and all I got was a
styrofoam sponge....

I've noticed the same thing (I have Stellar7 and A10). Although I haven't
been able to get the joystick working in Stellar7, I think I may have
a solution for A10 (at least for me). Selecting Joystick in the preference
menu has no effect, ie. the game will not recognize the joystick. However,
if you select Joystick while in your cockpit by pressing F10 or P, it
_will_ recognize it. Bug?

MicroProse makes "Harrier Jump Jet", a company called "Domark" (?) makes 
another AV8B sim.  From a comment on GEnie, I gather that the Domark sim. is
more realistic and lets you control ground troops as well (in campaign mode).

For Trade (preferred) or Sale:

            Rex Nebular and the Cosmic Gender Bender


Fun, somewhat naughty (selectable) adventure.  Good rotoscoped animation
(Rex walks much better than the dude in Kings Quest V).  Can be set on
naughty or nice mode (tho I didn't think naughty was that bad, IMHO).  One
excellent feature: when you screw up and get killed, you DON'T have to
re-load a saved game, the game just sets you up in the position you were in
just before you died.  Excellent!

	Includes all original materials, books, disks, and registration card.  On
3.5" disks (9 of them I believe!).

Prefer trading for something similar (adventure-ish) - say Quest for Glory
III or Kings Quest VI, or ?? you offer (I already have Amazon, so that's
out).  Maybe Spellcasting 301? Or SC 101 + SC 201? Or make an offer; RPGs
can be considered, but probably not interested in action/arcade stuff -
unless we're talking about all 6 episodes of Wolfenstein, or Spear of
Destiny!

Or if you wanna buy, how about $33, which will include postage?

Email with your offers!

Hi there Don,

DWI need some help with the Legend of Kyrandia.  Where did Malcolm hide the ball
  that I need to repair the fountain?  I've looked all over the place...someone
  please tell me before I go crazy.

He's stuck it in a burning tree somewhere in the vacinity.(North or up, 
 I think). You'll need to scout around a bit. Also, you need the scroll 
that freezes things to get the ball. 

Hope this helps,
