- Press fire key when you're on the left window that's on your room and you'll appear on the balcony.
- You can drop up to 9 items (maybe more, but you've to be in a screen with no doors to try that :P) per screen. - Use hammer to break the glass and get extinguisher. - Use trashcan (full of water) to extinguish fire at floor 27. - Use extinguisher with fire at floor 26 -you save a girl, she gives some info but refuses to go with you-. (Mike_Myers - brand new tip!) 15143 - You must select the boots when you want to walk in acid. (if you've it, but it isn't selected you die) - You must select the hammer when you want to break the glass (and get extinguisher). - You must select the lift card when you want to use lift. - You must have wire and gloves and select the wire to repair electricity in dead man's room. - There are two useless items: the cola can and the bulb (and the angle if you're a kamikaze :) ). - If you try to open the car [using the modulator] and you haven't the unholy amulet, you die (the guy that appears shoots lasers instead of a dart). Note for kamikazes: * Go to left window (you appear on a balcony). * Jump to left (1st jump). * Change to full screen (if you aren't). -you'll need it- * Walk left until your character seems to be floating on the air. -one way to find the place for the 2nd jump is to jump vertically one (or more) times, because when you jump your character moves a bit to the left :P (it's very easy to notice that when you're at the border of a balcony).- * Jump to left (2nd jump). [If you've done well your foot will touch the lockpick.] * When you get the lockpick, walk left to return to starting screen. (the angle becomes an useless item) :D (Do this at the beginning of the game, because it's a bit hard to do and if you die, you've nothing to lose :P). (Mike_Myers - brand new tip!) 15651 | ||||

- Sometimes it seems you can drop items on the air (although you can use this bug on your advantage when you've to make long jumps). :)
- When you get the lockpick (you've to jump from one balcony to another) and decide to move left, you appear in the starting room. That's the good news -you haven't to risk your life jumping-, the bad one is... you can get stuck on the wall if you decide to jump instead of walking. :) - If you drop an item at the elevator's rooms , the item disappears [and you won't be able to get it again (unless you use pokes to recover it :) )] (Mike_Myers - brand new tip!) 15142 - Crowbar always disappears when you use it on door [at top floor]. If you forgot to use it on the brick (at floor 29) you won't be able to finish the game - unless you use POKEs. - Game shows the same ending when you rescue the girl and when you don't. (if you decide not to rescue her you can ignore more items, for example, the modulator -you don't need to use it on the car-) (Mike_Myers - brand new tip!) 15652 | ||||
