Nancy Drew: The Secret of the Old Clock Hints
How do I catch the bad guy?
1 of 6: Your first job is to keep the bad guy's car in sight. Luckily for you, your car is a little faster, so it won't be too hard --
2 of 6: -- as long as you get a quick start. Try holding the mouse button down while the little movie plays; this way, you'll be on the move when the chase starts.
3 of 6: While you're chasing after the bad guy, stick to the middle of the road. Getting stuck on a corner, a patch of mud, or the side of the road can slow you down enough to let the other car out of your sight.
4 of 6: After a few turns around town, Nancy will make a brilliant deduction about the bad guy's plans. This usually happens as you're passing the bank. As soon as Nancy starts to talk, turn left and go to the state line (by the railroad station).
