Tex Murphy: Overseer Hints
All of a sudden, Big Jim Slade appears and kills me. Help!
1 of 8: Well, don't let him see you.
2 of 8: Make sure to hide from him as soon as you hear the phone ringing.
3 of 8: The phone will ring six times before Jim comes in to answer it.
4 of 8: He will kill you, though, if he sees that someone has been tampering with his belongings.
5 of 8: So make sure to close every door or drawer you open and to return everything you move to the place where you found it. He won't notice the things you took from him if they were hidden inside something or behind something, but he will certainly notice an open door, or an obvious placed item that all of a sudden appears to be missing.
6 of 8: Having taken care of this, the best available hiding place is in the closet. Make sure to close its door after you enter it.
7 of 8: Big Jim Slade will show up after you acquired the last item of the ones you're after here -- for some reason the bible doesn't count although you need it. So, if you have everything you need except the bible, the phone will start ringing and you'll have to return here later for the bible.
8 of 8: I'd advise you to leave the clothes in the closet for last.
