Armed & Delirious Hints
The Tape Recorder
THE FOLLOWING APPLIES THROUGHOUT THE WHOLE GAME -- IT IS QUITE IMPORTANT YET *VERY EASILY* FORGOTTEN!
Early in the game you should acquire a tape recorder. Don't leave Granny's villa without it. Once you have obtained it, it always resides in the top left corner of your bra-ventory.
Unlike all other objects in the bra-ventory, you never have to make a left mouse click on the tape recorder (in order to use it on other objects). However, a right mouse click causes a magnified tape recorder to be superimposed on the left bottom corner of the screen. It has the usual play and stop, fast forward and reverse, buttons. To return it to the bra-ventory, left mouse click on the tape recorder or the hand grasping it.
At several locations (although not all), playing the tape recorder gives you George's (Granny's married son) diary of events at and around those places.
True to the general nature of this game, you will gradually get some sort of wacky story of what it's all supposed to be about. Whether it makes any reasonable sense is another matter entirely!
It will also give you some clues, albeit rather zany ones, which are meant to help you on your journey.
SO *WHENEVER* YOU ~ENTER~ A NEW SCREEN, OPERATE THE TAPE RECORDER AND YOU WILL OFTEN GET SOME USEFUL INFO!
