The Machine
The rather odd world of The Machine is more point'n'puzzle than point'n'click but don't let that stop you enjoying getting to grips with the thing [thanks Ron].

it took me as long as from posting that first message, to now. but then again, i had to use the bathroom and change my music during that time as well...

Comment 3, Tuesday, April 19th 2005 06:08:00 AM

Vvicked

:
didn't take long, managed to actually figure things out on my own... the flashing numbers was probably the hardest, since i didn't see them all b/c i was doing other things at the same time... very pretty and nicely designed, i thought.

Comment 12, Tuesday, April 19th 2005 02:52:00 PM

Vvicked

:
Mamawren, mouse around. then try and form a logical order for what you hear.

Comment 13, Tuesday, April 19th 2005 06:11:00 PM

Vvicked

:
Amanda - the second one requires you to move the two paper docs around.. see what matches up.

Comment 14, Tuesday, April 19th 2005 06:38:00 PM

Vvicked

:
also, pay attn. to the flashing outlines. the longer you take, the more pretty clues you're given. :)

:
GOSH that's stylish! tres chic, and nice soundz too.

i especially like the fact that even after you figure out what to "do," you don't have any idea what you're doing. besides being insidiously brainwashed that Windows makes your life...

Comment 16, Tuesday, April 19th 2005 07:16:00 PM

Think~Pink

:
I agree, especially since I have no clue whatsoever how I passed the telephone screen.

Comment 17, Tuesday, April 19th 2005 08:03:00 PM

Emily

:
nice game, over too quickly *grin* - although the telephone screen gave me a little trouble. turns out i was just trying to make it more complicated than it is!

"working with windows makes your life happier"? i feel happy, oh so -happy-...

Comment 23, Tuesday, April 19th 2005 11:06:00 PM

Mike

:
point 'n' puzzle should be coined as a real term, involving both flash environments and random clickers such as this.

Comment 24, Wednesday, April 20th 2005 12:15:00 AM

Cheese

:
AAAGGGHHHH stupid telephone screen stop buzzing at me AAAAGGGGHHHH some more!

Grisselle

:

Comment 28, Wednesday, April 20th 2005 01:01:00 AM

Grisselle

:

Comment 29, Wednesday, April 20th 2005 01:12:00 AM

Dze

:
Since everyone seems to figure out how to do the telephone bit right after they post the HELP! CAN'T FIGURE OUT THE TELEPHONE BIT! I'm going to do the same thing.

HELP! CAN'T FIGURE OUT THE TELEPHONE BIT!

Hopefully, inspiration will come to me. *twitch*

Comment 30, Wednesday, April 20th 2005 01:58:00 AM

Adam

:
all you have to do is imagine that the keypad has numbers on it...check your landline or mobile phone keypad. Just click the numbers where they would appear on a normal keypad

Comment 31, Wednesday, April 20th 2005 02:59:00 AM

Nicole

:
If you muck around for too long, the phone on the right shows you the actual numbers you need too. One mistake I made was that I was clicking one line too low, thinking the bottom line was 789 instead of #0*...hope that helps, anyway.

Comment 32, Wednesday, April 20th 2005 05:12:00 AM

Amanda

:
Vvicked, i have done that with the documents and all the shodows are cast in the right places, i think, i really ned to be told what i have to do here i am well stuck, maybe i am a dumb bum....

Comment 33, Wednesday, April 20th 2005 11:36:00 AM

Dze

:
Never mind, I got it. Thanks for the advices.

I was doing the wrong thing. I thought you had to make the numbers on the numberless keypad the same with the telephone. Turns out it isn't.

Comment 34, Thursday, April 21st 2005 02:56:00 AM

Babe

:
I'm so lost. I have no idea what to do with this game. All I see are 10 little boxes you can click and when you click each one it says something. What am I supposed to do with this?

Comment 35, Thursday, April 21st 2005 06:24:00 AM

Babe

:
Nevermind. I'm stupid, I finished the game. Wow I can't believe I was that stupid. Lol, pretty interesting game, but they give the little hints too quickly.

Comment 36, Thursday, April 21st 2005 06:42:00 AM

Mudgee

:

Ioana

:
Yay!! Beat it!! Hardest part for me was the folders with the lights...I still don't know how I got past that one. The rest of the levels were pretty easy. Great Game!

Comment 41, Friday, April 22nd 2005 08:59:00 PM

Susa

:
I feel stupid, but I got through all the other levels just fine... It's the last one, the chess one, that I can't do. Help?

Comment 42, Friday, April 22nd 2005 10:38:00 PM

Susa

:
Nevermind, I got it. I thought you had to make the CHESS pieces move! *haha*

Ok, no, I was just being a little thick headed.

Comment 43, Friday, April 22nd 2005 10:41:00 PM

Chubs

Comment 46, Sunday, April 24th 2005 01:40:00 PM

Someday

:
i'm confused about the phone one. i've tried turning all the numbers on the keypad the same as the phone, i've also tried turning the numbers on the keypad to just after the numbers on the phone (ex, 1, 25, then leaving it on the 25). and nothing is happening when i complete the series. does it have to be done in order? am i supposed to be clicking something i'm missing? i'd rather have a hint than a spoiler, but i'll take what i can get.

Comment 47, Sunday, April 24th 2005 10:41:00 PM

Allegra WICKEDfanONE

:
the phone was nuts and i didn't get stage 2 the first time around but i loved it anyways!

Comment 48, Tuesday, April 26th 2005 05:52:00 AM

Michelle

:
The phone isn't hard if you just think about it. Just punch in the numbers as they are given to you, just as if you were using a phone. :D Anyway, I liked this game. Gave a good few minutes of much needed puzzle work :D.

Comment 49, Wednesday, April 27th 2005 06:43:00 PM

Jinger

:
give my self a damn big *SLAP* for making it far more complicated than it really is,should be longer though
