In my opinion, this game is a lot more of "on your toes" action, unlike the first one where you had to think out the puzzles. I'm sure there will be plenty of puzzles later in the game.. like what is the point to the guy (under the trap doors in the garden maze) who just blocks your path but doesn't attack? > He can be killed with a single blow from most weapons, so I'm just a little confused.

First, after I become Grace, I can't get the fold-down bed to fall on the guy, I keep re-positioning the bear but it doesn't do anything.

As you might expect, this means that AITD 2 is a "typical" sequel, that just isn't up to par with its award-winning predecessor... From the first time you play the game, you know this game is nothing like AITD1. First of all, you're no longer fighting zombies, werewolves, and demons; for some odd reason, you're fighting *pirates*, though most of these guys look like gangsters from a "Godfather" movie more than pirates. Even worse, these "pirates" are armed to the teeth with GUNS; some even with machine guns (again, I ask; these are *pirates*...?!?!?). The plotline is also much more banal than its predecessor, probably because H.P. Lovecraft inspired the original, and obviously had no part whatsoever in the sequel. In the first AITD game, you were trying to prevent the world from being enveloped in darkness by a being of supreme evil. Compare this plot summary to the one for AITD2, where some guys ("pirates", or so they say) kidnapped a girl and you have to go find her. Cute, but "not worth the price of admission", especially for a game. This "save-the-girl" plotline gets even worse halfway into the game, when the lead character ("Edward Carnby") is caught in the pirates' "jail" and you're suddenly the little girl, who needs to go find keys to release him. This wouldn't be a bad idea in itself, except that the Frenchmen who made this game were apparent fans of the Spielburg movie "The Goonies", and suddenly this so-called sequel to the Lovecraft-inspired AITD1 turns into a COMEDY (?!?!?). First of all, she doesn't "run"; she "skips" through the pirate ship, almost as if she were going on her way to the Peter-Pan ride instead of trying to keep herself from getting maimed or killed. Even worse, you click on "Open/Search" and not only does she not open or search an item/door, but she either does a little dance or makes a face, depending on what key you press. Pirates that were once making Edward into Swiss cheese with machine guns are suddenly kept at bay with sticky molasses or slippery ice. There are times when such a plotline would be funny. This isn't one of them. Worst of all is that the game has kept all of the bad points of AITD1, which mostly involved its interface. There is still no mouse control, and getting your character to shoot/punch fast enough (and in the right direction) is tougher than ever. AITD's classic "camera angles" also make it tough to figure out where to aim your gun during a fight. Camera angles also make it tough to notice something on the ground (at least twice a dead-body left behind a coin or key that I didn't "see" until I luckily walked over the correct spot). And as far as the interface used to control the "little girl", forget it. I've nearly given up at this point. In short, people who played Alone in the Dark 1 will most likely be disappointed in this so-called "sequel". However, I still wouldn't give this game a complete "thumbs-down", since the award-winning "3D" graphics and animation still make it an intriguing game to play. AITD2 is a good game to get if, like me (and most people), you're *desperate* to finally get a new game "hot off the shelf". If you want to spend $50 on something "worth it", though, I'd suggest waiting for Ultima 8, or get DOOM if you haven't already.... =============== Reply 1 of Note 1 ================= Board: GAMES BB Topic: FANTASY GAMES A-L Subject: ALONE 2 REVIEW To: TTHG93A STEVEN AKYUZ Date: 03/07 From: AMGA03A MICHAEL LEBLANC Time: 9:19 PM Steven: Thank you for saving me some money!

I also notice that if you get close enough to a bad guy they often "shoot right through you" and you can just defeat them with "hand to hand" combat, though if they're a "fast shooter" this won't work at all. Also, don't bother with the two guys guarding the entrance; they won't bother you unless you go towards them, and there's nothing there to get, anyway, so it's just a waste of ammo. Hope these hints help, but if they don't I'll try to come up with some more... =============== Reply 6 of Note 1 ================= Board: GAMES BB Topic: FANTASY GAMES A-L Subject: ALONE 2 REVIEW To: TTHG93A STEVEN AKYUZ Date: 03/08 From: XFHG79F RAMAFY DRAGON Time: 11:04 PM Thanks for the info... where do you get the newspaper?

I almost bought the game today, but decided to see what the games bb said about it...now i may just wait. I truly enjoyed the first game, simply because it WAS based on HP Lovecraft, and therefore looked and felt different than any other game.>> Being a Lovecraft fan, i was eager for the sequel to this odd, offbeat game. Now i find it is so changed that i would most certainly be disappointed! And not only because it is NOT Lovecraft-influenced, but from what you describe, it sounds ridiculous! A LITTLE GIRL SKIPPING AMOUNG PIRATES??? What the hey?!? I'd LOVE to see Yog Sothoth show up and blast her to another dimension!

I may be wrong, though. As for the peg-leg guy, right after defeating the two branches step forward slowly until he says "morning, sir" or whatever, then take a few steps back (this way, he's coming to you and not the other way around). Then when he's in range keep shooting at him and if you do it right he won't be able to shoot back in time. Hope this helps!

First, one thing though. You are installing from copies of the original disks, correct? Yes, you are. You can admit it. The install program doesn't look at the files to see PgDn>>> which disk has been inserted. It looks at the disks' labels. You must relabel the disks as "Disk1," "Disk2," and so on and so on... This should correct your problem. -Kevin =============== Reply 4 of Note 1 ================= Board: GAMES BB Topic: FANTASY GAMES A-L Subject: ALONE IN THE DARK II To: VCCG60C KEVIN MESSMAN Date: 02/25 From: HJKM37A HARLAN RUSSO Time: 9:02 PM OK!

Using the hook will open the door below. No, wait. You can't do that yet. That's after the vines. Go over to the four huge cards laying on the ground in the garden. Stand on the right one (I believe the copy protection tells you which to choose--that is, if you PgDn> have this game legally). Once down there, push the chest and kill the strange shadowy beast.

However, this also means there's still no mouse interface. the "hedge maze" outside is cute but I'm still wondering when the heck I'll get into the house in the first place. Even worse, the enemies are EVERYWHERE and are a LOT tougher to kill than the zombies in AITD 2. As if that wasn't bad enough, all of them are armed with GUNS!

To: JCDX21B SETH GOLDMAN Date: 03/07 From: TTHG93A STEVEN AKYUZ Time: 5:59 PM The door beyond the spear room is very easily opened if you've been to the kitchen and grabbed the poison bottle on the ground and the wine bottle on a counter. "Use" the poison to drug the wine, then go up to the door across from the spear guy. When it says "It's closed/It's locked", "Drop" the wine, which is actually "giving" the wine to the guard beyond the door. Take a few steps back and wait; the two guards will soon walk out the door and pass out, leaving the door wide open. This also happens to be the "music room" so this more or less answers two of your questions. You other question (of how to open the secret door that is revealed after the billiard game) requires a "key" that you get in the attic, which you get to by taking the amulet (which I don't think you can get until you use the two tokens on the organ and get a One-eyed Jack coin that appears on the floor). How to get out of the attic is a truly stupid puzzle so if you ever need the answer to that puzzle, press [next]... Hope these hints help! Top get out of the attic, used the one-eyed-jack dubloon on the jack-in-the-box that's in the junk-filled room, and get the pom-pom. Go into the jumping puppet room and just before entering the snake room, throw the pom-pom into the snake room. The puppet will go into the snake room luring the snakes away. BIG WARNING, though; the only exit is through the chimney, which leads in the room where you got the billiard ball (the room with 5 or 6 bad guys), but you probably killed them all already to get the red ball so you should have no problem... =============== Reply 5 of Note 1 ================= Board: GAMES BB Topic: FANTASY GAMES A-L Subject: ALONE2 AFTER AMULET!

The little chef problem took me a while to figure out, until I realized he was crying "help" because of me, knowing I was an "intruder". Soon after completing the "card room" you'll beat up a guy with a santa claus suit in a sack, which will solve the problem of the little chef crying "help". Sorry that I can't help you in the bullet dept., though some of the guys who shoot more slowly can be defeated with "hand-to-hand" combat, and sometimes if you're at the right angle you can fight them "hand-to-hand" and their shots will keep missing you.

As you might expect, this means that AITD 2 is a "typical" sequel, that just isn't up to par with its award-winning predecessor... From the first time you play the game, you know this game is nothing like AITD1. First of all, you're no longer fighting zombies, werewolves, and demons; for some odd reason, you're fighting *pirates*, though most of these guys look like gangsters from a "Godfather" movie more than pirates. Even worse, these "pirates" are armed to the teeth with GUNS; some even with machine guns (again, I ask; these are *pirates*...?!?!?). The plotline is also much more banal than its predecessor, probably because H.P. Lovecraft inspired the original, and obviously had no part whatsoever in the sequel. In the first AITD game, you were trying to prevent the world from being enveloped in darkness by a being of supreme evil. Compare this plot summary to the one for AITD2, where some guys ("pirates", or so they say) kidnapped a girl and you have to go find her. Cute, but "not worth the price of admission", especially for a game. This "save-the-girl" plotline gets even worse halfway into the game, when the lead character ("Edward Carnby") is caught in the pirates' "jail" and you're suddenly the little girl, who needs to go find keys to release him. This wouldn't be a bad idea in itself, except that the Frenchmen who made this game were apparent fans of the Spielburg movie "The Goonies", and suddenly this so-called sequel to the Lovecraft-inspired AITD1 turns into a COMEDY (?!?!?). First of all, she doesn't "run"; she "skips" through the pirate ship, almost as if she were going on her way to the Peter-Pan ride instead of trying to keep herself from getting maimed or killed. Even worse, you click on "Open/Search" and not only does she not open or search an item/door, but she either does a little dance or makes a face, depending on what key you press. Pirates that were once making Edward into Swiss cheese with machine guns are suddenly kept at bay with sticky molasses or slippery ice. There are times when such a plotline would be funny. This isn't one of them. Worst of all is that the game has kept all of the bad points of AITD1, which mostly involved its interface. There is still no mouse control, and getting your character to shoot/punch fast enough (and in the right direction) is tougher than ever. AITD's classic "camera angles" also make it tough to figure out where to aim your gun during a fight. Camera angles also make it tough to notice something on the ground (at least twice a dead-body left behind a coin or key that I didn't "see" until I luckily walked over the correct spot). And as far as the interface used to control the "little girl", forget it. I've nearly given up at this point. In short, people who played Alone in the Dark 1 will most likely be disappointed in this so-called "sequel". However, I still wouldn't give this game a complete "thumbs-down", since the award-winning "3D" graphics and animation still make it an intriguing game to play. AITD2 is a good game to get if, like me (and most people), you're *desperate* to finally get a new game "hot off the shelf". If you want to spend $50 on something "worth it", though, I'd suggest waiting for Ultima 8, or get DOOM if you haven't already.... =============== Reply 1 of Note 1 ================= Board: GAMES BB Topic: FANTASY GAMES A-L Subject: ALONE 2 REVIEW To: PSPH17A SHELLEY CIVELLO Date: 03/09 From: BFNK97E NATHAN SHIRLEY Time: 7:19 PM who is youo suesuth?! =============== Reply 2 of Note 1 ================= Board: GAMES BB Topic: FANTASY GAMES A-L Subject: ALONE 2 REVIEW To: TTHG93A STEVEN AKYUZ Date: 03/09 From: BFNK97E NATHAN SHIRLEY Time: 7:19 PM thanks for the review befor I was not sure if I should get it, now I know I WILL GET IT. nathan =============== Reply 3 of Note 1 ================= Board: GAMES BB Topic: FANTASY GAMES A-L Subject: ALONE 2 REVIEW To: BFNK97E NATHAN SHIRLEY Date: 03/09 From: TTHG93A STEVEN AKYUZ Time: 11:35 PM Then by all means, get it.

Play games, watch TV, go to the movies, and read occasionally, the world will >> open up to you! Most bookstores, like B Dalton, have a horror section, and books of Lovecraft's shorts stories are still published today...the stories are somewhat old fashioned and wordy, but at his best HP can evoke such an eerie sense of the other worldly that he is considered by many to be one of the fathers of modern horror tales. Get a book that has in it the story, "The Call of Cthulhu," a true classic; also "Rats In the Wall" "Cool Air" and my favorite, "The Shadow Out of Time," which gave me the chills even at the ripe old age of 28, when i first read it! Good luck to you! Shelley (PS-i really didn't tell you about Yog, tho...he is hard to pin down, but he is sorta a spherical, bubble-like God who lives in between the spaces of time and space, and is variously referred to as "the Gate" or "the Key" by his wild eyed, murderous worshipers...people best avoided!)

I will, of course, buy alone2, but untill I do Id like to hear from some of you who are fortunate enough to allready own it. Does it live up to its predesessor? Whats the new plot? How is it different? Hope to hear from you.

I loved the 1st game not only because of the graphics and camera angles, but because of its use of Lovecraft-esque horror. Now it seems the bad guys are mostly pirates with guns! Thanks, but i will probably save my money!

I have pliers,guns,pirate sword,(Used the useful key), the broken bottle...the powder keg and the fuse, ammo , and i think thats it. Also why cant i push anymore? Any Help appreciated!

I cut one of the wires on the cannon with the pliers but it wont let me cut the other one. Also it wont even let me use the push function while in the cannon room. How do i get the cannon to be pushed??? Thanx - Seth =============== Reply 2 of Note 1 ================= Board: GAMES BB Topic: FANTASY GAMES A-L Subject: ALONE2 QUES HERE To: JCDX21B SETH GOLDMAN Date: 03/09 From: TTHG93A STEVEN AKYUZ Time: 11:35 PM One of the things I did to push the cannon is get rid of the guy sleeping there before I tried to cut the wires (just kick him and he'll wake up). I don't know if that helps, but at least he doesn't bother you afterwards. The "push" function only works if you're on the side of the cannon facing the sleeping guy, near the middle of the cannon. I think it didn't allow me to do it until I pushed "space" without choosing a direction. Anyway, after pushing the cannon. take the powder keg and put it in the room across the hall, right in front of the cannon. Then put the short fuse in the cannon and use the poker on the cannon. Nice animation so I'm guessing this is what you're supposed to do. Tell me if you need any more help pushing the cannon, though, and I'll try to see what I did to push it... ---Steve =============== Reply 3 of Note 1 ================= Board: GAMES BB Topic: FANTASY GAMES A-L Subject: ALONE2 QUES HERE To: TTHG93A STEVEN AKYUZ Date: 03/10 From: JCDX21B SETH GOLDMAN Time: 3:11 PM Ok Steve... I pushed the cannon and put on the wick. I also put the keg down in front of the cannon. Whenever i try to use the poker on the cannon it tells me "You have other things to do first"! What else is there for me to do??? I thought i did everything!.....Thanx =============== Reply 4 of Note 1 ================= Board: GAMES BB Topic: FANTASY GAMES A-L Subject: ALONE2 QUES HERE To: JCDX21B SETH GOLDMAN Date: 03/11 From: TTHG93A STEVEN AKYUZ Time: 12:17 PM I can't think of what you didn't do, unless you put the keg too close to the cannon. I noticed a circle-type of spot on the flor in the "bedroom" place, in the line of fire of the cannon, that was where I put the keg in the game. Maybe you have to drop it at that exact spot...? The only other thing I can think of is that you might not have visited all of the rooms yet, or maybe you haven't looked at the note inside the wine bottle (the bottle that you get in one of the lower rooms by pushing a barrel away). If you throw the bottle there's a parchment inside. That's all I can think of, but let me know if this doesn't work... ---steve =============== Note 2 ================= Board: GAMES BB Topic: FANTASY GAMES A-L Subject: ALONE2 QUES HERE To: ALL Date: 03/09 From: XFHG79F RAMAFY DRAGON Time: 11:04 PM Okay, what do I do in the "Magic" Room?

Have cut the chains to the cannon with the pliers, don't know what to do next. I've been in every room underneath the ship except for two of them. The others I found keys for, or they were open. I have this book describing how this freebooter used the short fuse on the keg of powder, but I can't get that to --> work either. How do I go about blowing up the ship?(if that's what has to be done) Please answer A.S.A.P, I want to finish and move on to another game...thanx..... -Lawrence =============== Reply 1 of Note 1 ================= Board: GAMES BB Topic: FANTASY GAMES A-L Subject: ALONE2-FREED CARNBY To: MUAC53A LAWRENCE DAVIS SR Date: 03/10 From: TTHG93A STEVEN AKYUZ Time: 10:29 AM "Push" the cannon near the middle of the cannon, on the side that is facing (or faced) the sleeping pirate. Carnby will "automaticly" push the cannon so it's aiming outside the doorway, across the hall to the area with the two sleeping pirates. Sneak into that room and drop the powder keg in there, in the line of fire of the cannon. Now go back to the cannon and insert the fuse and light it with the poker.>>>>> Search the wreckage in the "bedroom" area and find a bag of coins and use them in the hallway to get the two chefs to come out of the kitchen. This should get you started on your way to the ending (not too much longer from this point)... ---Steve P.S. - Does anyone have the same "glitch" I have with this game; when I try to go to certain areas of the "bedroom", the game hangs up saying it can't find file something-or- other-.PAK .

My question is, how do you defeat the big white guy at the "end?", after the girl uses the chicken foot? I tried everything I have but nothing seems to affect him. I thought maybe you could lure him into hole in cannon room and he would fall into oven below, but no dice. Subtle> hint please.
