LawnMower Man Hints ************Spoiler *********** ______________________________________________________________________________ This document contains hints for the Multi-Media CD ROM Game Lawnmower Man. It is complete. If you have additional information or comments please send mail. I am including the files code1.bmp and code2.bmp Contents: This hint file contains information about the following sections: 1.0 Ledge of Darkness - I 1.1 There are no platforms or pillars the first time. When the voice says jump press on the up arrow. Down - Down arrow. You should have the key depressed for the next jump or slide as soon as you complete the previous one. 1.2 These are the moves that have worked for me every time. Jump-Jump-Down-Jump-Jump-Jump-Jump-Down-Down-Jump. 2.0 Cyber Boogie - I 2.1 When the voice says to turn turn. Watch the indicator on the right. Remember to press the down arrow to go up. 2.2 The sequence of events that I have seen are as follows Left-Up-Right-Down-Fire-Right-Fire-Up-Left-Right 3.0 Crackin' the Code - I 3.1 Pick the button that is different than the rest. Here are some hints from doors that have been solved. 3.1.a six, square, Y and 2 For instance, in the first example 6 wil be the only even number, the square is the only shape with an even number of sides, Y is the only non-vowel, 2 is the only number that is not a multiple of 7. 3.1.b : See code1.bmp full square is bottom left hand corner & quarter square in bottom right, T, moon, S 3.1.c : See code2.bmp Rotate the shape. The two dots on top with the square in the bottom right is incorrect. A is the only vowel. The quarter circles with the pieces missing is incorrect. The triangle is the only shape with an odd number of sides. 3.1.d K, Y, Circle, 2 K is not a direction and a circle has no sides. 2 and Y are explained above. 4.0 Tune - In - I 4.1 Play the exact same sequence of notes / lights that the keyboard in front of you does. Just watch the colors. 4.2 These sequences seem to come up a lot. 4.2.a Red Blue Green Magenta 4.2.b Tan Red Magenta Yellow 4.2.c Blue Orange Purple Green 5.0 Path to Freedom - I 5.1 The middle tunnel seems to be clear all of the time. Follow the path back from this tunnel to a platform. Move to that platform and press fire(space bar). The rest is automatic. 6.0 Ledge of Darkeness - II 6.1 This section seems to be a repeat of Ledge of Darkness -I except that it includes the pillars and platforms that are talked about in the manual. Jump when the voice says to. When you get to the track the first move is to jump. There will be no voice now. 6.2 The moves are the same. Jump-Jump-Down-Jump-Jump-Jump-Jump-Down-Down-Jump 7.0 Access Denied - I 7.1 Time is of the essence. A key will appear on the screen for hitting the fire button. Use the arrows to direct the robot to the key. 7.2 These board configurations seem to come up a lot. 7.1.a Left-Down-Down-Right-Right-Up 7.2.b Left-Left-Left-Up-Up-Right 7.2.c Up-Left-Left-Down 8.0 Cyber Boogie - II 8.1 No voice this time.
