Hello. Actually, London is where you get off the ship. The airplane takes you to Luxembourg–Here there's a dead body in a cafe booth, a gun in a safe deposit box, someone to shoot in a hotel, and also a man reading "The Unbearable Lightness of Being"—also let me not forget the man selling pickles . A friend and I have worked on this for a couple months now awe're stumped. . .I guess we'll just have to send for the clue book. Thanks for your help. . .does the above ring any more bells? Jon

Have you found the sleeping bum yet? Visited the Bank? The Bum's hat size may interest you. Nevin

Hello again. Yes, the sleeping bum was back in London. . .I searched him and got his hat and his cash. When I traded his hat in to the hatcheck girl, I got a different hat back that gave the booth number where I found the body in Luxembourg. Was there something about the original hat? I also got the forged ticket in London, and found that I am able to fly back and forth between London and Luxembourg, but also that I can't take the gun (from the bank in Luxembourg) on the plane to London. Anything else about the bank? Thanks again for your help. Jon

Do you have a map of sorts that shows some trees on it? In one of the two towns, you can journey into the countryside. Once you come to the screen with the designated trees in it, I think you have to dig again. I can't remember what you find, but it is something you'll need to win. Have you found the fisherman and the newspaper yet? Nevin

Hello again. Yes, the map of the trees (found in the booby-trapped hotel room in Luxembourg) leads to the area where you dig up the receipt for the safe deposit box in which is the gun (to shoot the man in the hotel who shoots you if you don't draw first). The fisherman, whose pole can be used to fish out the newspaper, is in London. Perhaps Luxembourg is the last place I have to go, and I have only to reason things out from here? Jon

Jon, I found the safe deposit box in the hut on the island and took the gun.

Hmmm. . .now that's something I didn't find. I'll have to go back and look. . . . Jon

Jon, I just booted the program and I don't see any shell. I did get the map and tried to make my way to the other side but died. Mindshadow is one of the games I don't load too often because of the cursed copy protection-rattling of the drive head. But I'll spend a few hours on it tonite. I just got Space Quest by Sierra. The graphics are 8 bittish, but the game play is really captivating.

Hello again. I'll take another look at my program, too. When did you purchase your Mindshadow—do you suppose the program has been changed by the makers? Thanks for the reply—keep in touch. Jon

Jon, I bought it when I bought my Amiga May, 86.

And you've been to the bar/restaurant to visit your "unlucky" friend? What happens when you try to "remember" who you are? Nevin
