General Game Tips
This file was written for the Windows version of the game. Therefore, references to right or left mouse clicks may not be appropriate for the MacIntosh game or other platforms.
I assume you have thoroughly read the game's manual and are familiar with the game controls and cast of characters.
You can die in this game -- so SAVE OFTEN! It is especially useful to save a game at the very beginning of a new world since it is easy to get lost in some sections.
Whenever you see numbers or other characters, write them down!
If you see a panel that is color-coded, especially if it is in enemy territory, sketch it!
Pick up everything you can. Each item has a specific purpose. If the item has no further uses, it will magically disappear from your backpack. (Click here if you are experiencing Disappearing Inventory when the item(s) are still needed.)
