Wasteland Hints
Where do I find the black market password?
1 of 8: Maybe someone around town can tell you.
2 of 8: There's only one person you can speak to.
3 of 8: Talk to the bartender. He won't give you much information straight away though.
4 of 8: You need to butter him up a bit (even more so than buying the first drink).
5 of 8: What's the best way to make a bar owner like you?
6 of 8: Buy another drink (ask about DRINK).
7 of 8: You still can't ask him about the black market directly though; you'll have to find another way (in Infocom days this was called "guess the noun").
8 of 8: Ask him about PASSWORD. He'll give you two, CRETIAN and PROTEUS. You'll need to figure out which is which.
