Hi Tom.
Well that is true reguarding the carelessness of developers, but even in
games which had a very good review score I often found myself frustrated by
guess the verb puzles like that, which is the reason for my concern.
Certainly though I've seen menue driven conversations where you

her if adventures.
Anyway, I think there is another solution to your problem of guess

I've seen some of this randomness you speak of ddone before by som of of the

In cases like that I often times find I'm over thinking the

experience it usually turns out to be something as
Try get water and when examining things its look.
So would go like this, take cup, get water, drink.
You not only have to look at the simple commands, but where the game
was written. If in UK well they use a lot of names for things that
just totally mean something else in USA.

Hi Muhammed,
That all depends on if you are asking about Tomb Hunter I or Tomb Hunter II.
If you are talking about Tomb Hunter I, Mysteries of the Ancients, the
answer is no. It is a 2d side-scroller and doesn't use 5.1/7.1
surround sound audio. It only makes use of DirectSound's 2d stereo pan
