Tex Murphy: Overseer Hints
How do I avoid being captured by a security droid?
1 of 5: The explanation for this was on CD no 1 back in Gideon's house.
2 of 5: The droids are only in cell blocks A and C.
3 of 5: The droids in block A will only capture you when you are not in an empty cell and on the same level as the droids within a distance of 20 feet.
4 of 5: The droids in block C will capture you when you are not in an empty cell and within a distance of 70 feet from the droid.
5 of 5: These droids make a noise. Listen to it carefully to determine whether they are far enough for you to leave the cell safely.
