## Plot

### The Flea Market

The game begins when Snowy wanders away from Tintin, who is checking out a stall, and sniffs out the model of *the Unicorn*. Tintin then notices that Snowy is missing, and calls out to him. After Snowy finds Tintin again, Snowy leads Tintin to the stall where he discovered the *Unicorn*model. Tintin likes the model, and because Snowy looks so excited about it, he asks how much it costs. The stall owner says about seventy, and Tintin pays fifty, but the stall owner doesn't mind. Then, somebody cuts in and asks how much money it costs. When the stall owner answers, "I'm afraid you're too late. It's already been sold," he turns to Tintin and says that he will pay ten times as much as he paid the stall owner. When Tintin refuses, the man becomes frustrated and attempts to take the model from Tintin. Tintin holds on to the model, and then the man, one of the Bird Brothers, Max, gives up and walks away. A person reading a newspaper follows him.

The shop owner then asks Tintin to follow him, and leads Tintin to another man with a lot of books. The man sees the *Unicorn*, and brings out a book about it, called "*The* Unicorn*, a Legacy of Failure.*" There is a picture of Sir Francis Haddock on the last page. Tintin then buys the book, as well.

Tintin goes to an alley, followed by Snowy, and places the *Unicorn*model on a trash can. He studies the model, and notices that there are markings on the sail. He looks at the book he bought, and notices a picture on the bottom left corner. It is a sail with an arrow around it. Tintin then discovers that he can turn the sails and make a picture. After he turns the sails, a picture is formed (at a certain point of view). The back opens, revealing a compartment, which holds a box, and inside the box is a scroll with a several numbers on it.

Then, Max, who had wanted the ship model, walks past the alleyway, and spies Tintin. He stops the two other people walking with him. He then tells one of the men, Nestor, to go get the ship model. Nestor tip-toes toward Tintin, then knocks the ship out of Tintin's hand. Nestor catches the *Unicorn*model, and runs away with Max and the other man. Tintin pursues them, but Max sends men to slow Tintin down, and it works. By the time Tintin defeats them, Max and the model are gone. But in the rush, Max drops his hat, giving Snowy the means to take Tintin to Marlinspike.

### Marlinspike

Snowy and Tintin come to Marlinspike Hall. After climbing over the walls, Tintin runs to the front door, but decides that entering the front door is too dangerous, so he goes to one of the side doors. It is also locked. Then, Snowy chases a rat, and Tintin follows. Snowy follows the rat scent to a hole too small for Tintin, so Snowy goes in. Snowy finds a passage that leads to a door, and steps on a button, opening the door for Tintin. The door leads to an underground passage to Marlinspike, but the Bird Brothers are aware of it and have it guarded. After Tintin gets into the house, he notices the Bird Brothers going to the Naval Room, and then taking an elevator down. Tintin follows, and ends up in a dark room. Luckily, he has a flashlight. When he gets back out, he makes his way to the Naval Room. The Bird Brothers find him in there and attack him. Tintin defeats them and takes the key from Max. After he looks for both the *Unicorn*s, (one of them is his) the Bird Brothers escape from Tintin, taking the scroll with them. Tintin follows, only to be chased by car. After Tintin is led to a dead end, the Bird Brothers think they have won. But just then, somebody knocks out the Bird Brothers. Tintin is about to thank them, when one of the men says that they have found the scroll. Behind Tintin, another man knocks Tintin cold.

After they drive away with the Bird Brothers' scroll and Tintin, Snowy decides to follow, after hiding from the men.
