Sheesh, that one was a bit harder, and yet, a LOT more logical.

Ahh, finished it. I only had to use the cheat page on the 5th room...

Gets me all nostalgic - have to go dig out my Monkey Island and Day of the Tentacle discs!

hmm - I found the computer on level 9 a pain in the neck. Took ages trying to figure it out then gave up and used the cheat - I still don't understand that puzzle.

Im stuck on that same computer in level 9. I too gave up and went to the cheats. Even after looking at the cheats, I still cant get past it. They aren't helping me at all. Any hints?

The word may be scrambled....
From the FAQ... The computer will generate a random three-letter word, four-letter word, or a five-letter word. Words I have come across are: east, great, ward, and more.

I don't know if this counts as cheating, but I noticed that when I moved the mouse over the top of the 'monitor', a little I-bar appeared, suggesting text. So I clicked and dragged to highlight the text, anc copy&pasted into a text editor. The word 'DWARF' appeared, I tapped it onto the keyboard, and got through to the next room...
Hope this helps...

Day of the Tentecle - you git! I'm going to have to dig that out now too... A sequal is rumoured..

Hmm. Possible sequel... Cool. I hope it's not like MI4 though. I really didn't like that 3D interface.

I played this one last night.
The other one, as awful as it was, was better than this. While I'll admit that there were a few okay adventure game puzzles, it was mostly "solve this unrelated puzzle to unlock something", which is the reason I took The Seventh Guest back to the store the day after I got it, ages ago. (Oh, for the days when you could return computer games.)
Also, I got stuck at the computer, too, after typing in DEAF many times, it turned out that it wanted FADE. Asinine. Exactly the way I'd hide a password: behind another password. ("I've forgotten my password, but, fortunately, I remember my password's password, which I obviously use much more often.")
Then there was the green wall where you don't even have to finish it, just get close, probably because it's impossible.
And the endless supply of coins for the pool table, located in another room and collectable only one at a time, just to be annoying. And then arguing with the pool table's interface in order to find the right angle. Obviously, I couldn't just put the balls down the holes by hand.
At least they finally had a map that travelled along more than one dimension.
And I couldn't play it on anything other than IE under Windows because his interface was so slow on everything else. The replacement mouse pointer seemed to be accelerated under Windows and Windows alone. Everywhere else, it was like moving it through molasses. And it was so necessary to have an alternate cursor.
In other words, crap. Give me Trinity any day of the week.
