Alliance, You discovered that Phil Cook, an Orb ally, was a
dangerous killer. As the game begins, Phil is escaping from New
York in his spaceship. You chase him in a second spaceship
vowing not to let him get away. Having chased him across the
country you crash land in San Francisco. Find Phil before he
kills again, help defeat the Orbs!!
Hint:
Most clues are visual and symbolic. You must look carefully at the
screen to determine how the clue in that screen ties in with the
rest of the game. Take notes as you play. Save the game often.
The game shows you what you are able to do, what you can get,
and where you are able to go.
Hint:
If the cursor is an arrow, press <ENTER> to move in that direction.
If the cursor is a magnifying glass, press <ENTER> to take a

manipulate the object by pressing <ENTER>. If the cursor is a
#3, you are in third person perspective and are able to see
yourself on the screen.
Hint:
Press <F3> to travel. You will be shown a map of San Francisco. All
the locations you are authorized to investigate are indicated by

item you wish to use by using the up-down arrow keys and press
<ENTER>.
Hint:
The MAD (for Manhunter Assignment Device) is a personal computer
that has two functions: INFO and TRACKER. The MAD is standard
equipment for all Manhunters.
Hint:
The yellow target is the person you are currently tracking. The
tracker will allow you to see exactly where your suspect has
traveled. If more than one person is involved in the criminal

Building, and the Embarcadero Fountain. Travel to the Bank of
Canton.
Problem:
What do I do at the Bank of Canton?
Hint:
Enter the bank through the same door that the suspects used. Take
the dragon note that is on the desk. Take the newspaper that is
lying on the floor. Note the name of the scientist in the
article. Look at the dead man's left hand. Read the name on the
door as if you were standing outside. Enter the name into your
MAD computer.
Problem:

Hint:
The name is reversed. Enter the correct name "Tad Timov" into your
MAD. Tad Timov is the dead security guard that worked for the
Bank of Canton. Your character will be now be able to travel to
his apartment. But first exit the bank and go to the left. You
will find a dead body.
Problem:
What do I do with the dead body I found near the bank?

to the drain, press <ENTER> to spin away. When you slide close
to the pipe opening press <ENTER> several times until you slide
right in.
Problem:
I keep getting my face eaten by rats and bats!
Hint:
Set the arcade mode to "EASY". Stand in one place as you punch and

found on the boat. Take the camera. Note the symbols on the
tapestry on the wall that says "Heaven Vision." Travel to the
Temple.
Problem:
I keep getting a Ninja's throwing star in my forehead, what can I do?
Hint:
Set the arcade mode to "EASY". Defend yourself long enough and the
Buddah will rise, allowing you to climb the sectet stairs. To
make the arcade sequence a little easier, save the game every
time you dodge a few Ninja stars.
Problem:
OK, I'm in the stairway, now what?
Hint:
Examine all the statues. These statues provide two important clues.
Read the dragon note. "R3" means "RIGHT 3" - Replace R3 with the
word from the third statue on the right. Replace L1 with the
word on the first statue on the left. Replace R4 with the word
on the fourth statue on the right. Look at the cloth that you
found in the drawer. It says "Rub jewel of Heaven." Use the
cloth on the Heaven statue for another clue. Continue up the
stairway.
Problem:
What should the decoded dragon message say?
Hint:
"The R3 is the L1 to R4" = The Castle is the Gateway to Hell.
Problem:
What does the decoded "Heaven" message say?
Hint:
F+Oar P+inches = four pinches.
Problem:
I keep falling into a pool of acid! Help!
Hint:
Set the arcade mode to "EASY". Stay in the center of the bridge as
you move across. Saving the game after making it halfway across
will make crossing easier.
Problem:
A very big man insists on branding dragons onto my hand! I need some
advice.
Hint:
Don't touch the brand. Instead, run over, grab the scroll, and jump
out the window. Once outside, run to the right before the Ninjas
get you.
Problem:
I keep getting cut in half by a Ninja!
Problem:
What do I do with the scroll, what does it mean?
Hint:
West is not a direction, it is a name. Match up the name "West"
with one of the first names that you read back at the warehouse.
Enter "Zac West" into your MAD Info.
Problem:
I'm in the room with an old man with a twitching mustache. What do I do?
Hint:
Remember the "Heaven" message? Select four pinches from the pot
with the "Heaven" marking (second from left). Smoke the pipe,
watch the vision and take the statue.
Problem:
What does the vision mean?
Hint:
You saw a vision of the old man's daughter turning into a mutant.
Remember her face, you will need to recognize her later. Travel
to the Shop.
Problem:
I'm at the Shop and I can't figure out what to do.
Hint:
The morbid shopkeeper seems to be holding a finger. If you had some
body parts to give him he might let you try to play cards and
win a prize. If you don't have any, leave and travel to the
TransAmerica pyramid.
Problem:
What are all those S's in the pyramid building?
Hint:
All of the S's are slaves.
Problem:
What do I do in the pyramid building?
Hint:
Take the rifle. Free the slave that the robot is punishing. To free
the slave set the arcade mode to "EASY". The idea is to rotate
clockwise without getting hit. Move only when the robot aims at
you. When you are at the top of the screen, the slave will
escape. Continue to rotate until you are at the bottom of the
screen. Walk off the screen and travel to the doctor's house.
Problem:
What do I do at the doctor's house?
Hint:
Get the letter from the doctor's pocket. Pour the urine sample into
the flask that you found near the Embarcadero Fountain by
selecting the flask from your inventory. Travel to the cable
car barn.
Problem:
What should I do at the cable car barn?
Hint:
Hop onto a cable car to get inside. You need to go to the box in
the upper-right corner and bump against the right side. Pull
the switch to open the gate. Run through the gate. If you are
having difficulty set the arcade mode to "EASY" and try again.
Problem:
I found the cable car, what do I do?
Hint:
Look at the posters on the side of the cable car. Look at the dead
man on the pile of bodies in the car. Take the letter from his
belt. Look at his hand. Leave the same way you came in and
travel to the private club. Knock on the door.
Problem:
They won't let me into the club or the laundry!
Hint:
You can't get into the club because it's private. It's for ratmen
only. Come back later when you have a disguise. Travel to the
laundry. The laundry is closed, come back tomorrow. Travel to
the scientist's house.
Problem:
How can I travel to the scientist's house?
Hint:
Type the name "Noah Goring" into your MAD. You picked up the name
"Noah" from the newspaper clipping, "Goring" from the doctor's
letter.
Problem:
What do I do at the scientist's house?
Hint:
Take the matches. Look out the window. Read the files. Notice the
white thread. Travel to the Wax Museum.
Problem:
What do I do at the Wax Museum?
Hint:
Notice the fish that the wax figure is holding. You found a mallet
with a fish on it at the warehouse. Use the mallet here to
smack the fish. Look at the three propaganda exhibits (you can
see the other two exhibits after watching the film, then moving
left). At the last exhibit, look in the chimney. Leave the wax
museum. Select travel, if you have completed all of the
activities in day 2 you will be sent to your apartment. This
ends day 2.
Problem:
Whenever I go to the Manhunter's apartment and try to lay down in the
hammock, it tells me that "It's too early to go to bed". Why?
Hint:
You have not completed all of the activities in Day 2.
Problem:
What are the locations I may have missed?
Hint:
Pier 5, Tad Timov's apartment, the Temple, the Temple stairway, the
Ninja initiation room, the room with the old man and the smoke,
the shop, the TransAmerica building, the doctor's house, the
cable car barn, Noah Gorings house, and the Wax Museum.
Problem:
What additional items should I have in my robe?
Hint:
Zac West and Noah Goring.
Hint:
The additional items you should have are, the camera, the scroll,
the statue, the rifle, letter #1, letter #2, the full flask, and
the matches.
Problem:
Where should I go first?
Hint:
Travel to the laundry. You will see a girl. Move towards the
girl. Give the girl the laundry receipt. When she winks at you,
follow her. It's a trap... but you must fall for it.
Problem:
I was clubbed and came to in the dark, what now?
Hint:
The slave you freed released you. Take the walking stick. Leave the
laundry and travel to Ghirardelli Square and investigate.
Problem:
What should I do at Ghirardelli Square?
Hint:
Get the rat's paw. Then travel to the shop.
Problem:
What do I do at the shop?
Hint:
Give the man at the counter the rat's paw. He will let you play
cards. Find the ace three times. Don't take a prize yet, play
and find the ace three more times. When he offers you a prize
this time, select the mask on the left.
Problem:
I can't beat this guy at the card game.
Hint:
Set the arcade mode to "EASY". Watch carefully, he's trying to
trick you with a false shuffle. To beat that con, save the game
as soon as the shuffle is completed, then choose the ace. If
you're wrong, just restore the game. After you leave the shop
travel to the private club.
Problem:
I still can't get into the club.
Hint:
Get as close as you can to the door. Wear the mask and knock on the
door.
Problem:
What do I do at the club?
Hint:
Get as close as you can to the door. Wear the mask and knock on the
door. When the ratman shows you the arm, note the symbols
tattoed on it. Play dice. When the ratmen get mad at you give
them the flask. While they are fighting over the flask, grab the
hatchet and leave. Travel to Ghirardelli Square again.
Problem:
What do I do this time at Ghirardelli Square?
Hint:
Try to climb up the sign to the man hanging up there. You will need
to get the ring that is hanging around his neck. If you have
difficulty climbing the sign set the arcade mode to "EASY".
Problem:
I keep getting zapped by the guy with the shocking personality.
Hint:
Don't touch him. Use the walking stick to take the ring from his
neck.
Problem:
Anything else I should do at Ghirardelli Square?
Hint:
Go into the window in the tower. When you reach the gate, take a
close look.
Problem:
My flask keeps breaking while I'm at Ghirardelli Square!
Hint:
Go back to the private club and find the proper time to give the
flask away.
Problem:
How do I open the gate?
Hint:
Notice that the pattern on the lock is the same as the ring. Open
the lock with the ring.
Problem:
Ok, I've opened the gate and now I've got real trouble!
Problem:
I've return to the Wax Museum and don't know what to do.
Hint:
Investigate where both suspects went. There is fresh meat on the
pile of bodies in exhibit #2. Examine Noah Goring carefully. Go
into the fireplace in the last exhibit. When done leave the
museum. Travel to the Hyde Street Pier.
Problem:
I've found Noah Goring, but I don't know what to do with him.
Hint:
Use the fang to cut the white thread on his tie. Take the card.
Problem:
What do I do at the Hyde Street Pier.
Hint:
Go under the pier. Climb up the piling. Use the hatchet to cut
through the bottom of the crate. Hide in the crate.
Problem:
How do I get out of the crate?
Hint:
Use the hatchet.
Problem:
The mutants keep stomping me!
Hint:
Look at the mutant in the second cell, middle row. That's Ming.
Remember her from the vision you saw after smoking the pipe with
her father? Give her the statue.
Problem:
How do I free the mutants?
Hint:
Insert the Orb card that you found in Noah Goring's tie into the
cell door-access machine. Fool the camera into thinking you're
and Orb by using the Orb-On-A-Stick.
Problem:
How do I escape?
Hint:
Use the balloon.
Problem:
How do I use the balloon?
Hint:
Turn on the gas, light the gas with the matches you found at the
scientist's house.
Problem:
Where do I land?
Hint:
Land at Julius Castle.
Problem:
I'm in the control room and confused. What do I do?
Hint:
Take a closer look at the controls. Close all of the gates. Select
the ROBOT button - move all of the robots to the lowest sensor
square in the center. Select the SLAVE button - move all of the
slaves into Slavery. Select the LAVA button - open the gate on
the bottom right to flood the robots. Open the bottom center
gate to flood the cable car barn. Open the gate next to the lava
in the second row down, center to flood the pyramid and Coit
Tower. Watch as the mutants turn into people again. Move the
slaves into Hell.
Problem:
I'm at Freedom. How do I use the digger?
Hint:
When you are in the digger, punch in the code that you saw on the
severed arm. Press the START button.
Problem:
What is the code for the digger?
Hint:
UNNC
Problem:
I can't make it through the lava maze!
Hint:
Set the arcade mode to "EASY". Save the game often. You need to
reach the Ferry Building in the upper-right corner of the far
upper-right section.
Problem:
The lava maze is absolutely IMPOSSIBLE!
Hint:
We have a map of the lava maze available and would be happy to mail
it to you. Leave a message for Customer Service on this BBS. You
