First

Damn, so close.

3rd! Wow!

I love these Bow Street games! Unfortunately, I have to wait until later to play it. Gotta fix supper and all those domestic duties. Ah well...Have fun, y'all!

Not my cup of tea or java or whatever

sooooo, I'm

What is the code for chapter 4

sorry I have the code.

I can't get the cannon to light, is there a trick to it?

yeah the cannon part sucks...if you move the stick pretty quickly the flame bends a little but that's about it, I'm not getting it to light up either.

Nah. Just move it around the wick. It'll catch.

Ahh. There IS kind of a trick to it...

[spoiler]You can't just put the torch over the wick and leave it, you have to hold the mouse button down until it lights.[/spoiler]

yes! that did it...thanks!

Whoops, sorry, used the wrong kind of brackets. I am all kinds of dumb tonight! lol

Just finished this Chapter, Wasn't as impressed with this chapter as I was with the others. There was only one game, and one challenge , to get the keys. It wasn't as challenging as the others. Hope the next one is better.

I agree, Dreamspinnergal. The only real challenge was that stupid cannon, and not in a good way!

So who do you guys think the mastermind is, the one we will uncover in the final chapter?

Maybe it'll let me finish Ch. 3 now.

I love these games! I wish the creator would put out a whole big consecutive game on DVD-ROM or Playstation or something like that. Five episodes isn't enough for me!!! I want more! =]

anyone have a problem with the canon? i couldnt lit it tho.... :S

i want more

I have bad news chaps, they are going to abolish point and click games, as they found out that too moch clickingis causing arthritic index finger syndrom.

....and of course as it is the first of april, i never doubted that any one belived a word i said....lol

what is the code for chapter 4??????

I can't seem to assemble the gin still. I can get the three main pieces in place but the other won't go on and I don't know what the little lights are for. Could anyone help?

Pah - That was no where as good as the other ones. The only challengey bit was taking the key and that was hardly difficult. Must do better.

Oooo. this one must've been easy since I did it with no help whatsoever! Looking forward to the next one.

I really wish we could get this series here in the US, or at least the DVDs. It looks really interesting.

Answering my own inquiry: DVDs due in the US June 10! Hurrah!!

Seriously, does anyone have the code to get this episode? I left it on my home computer...

swan,.that was funny,."hahahahaa" guess all systems down then,cause a secretary uses that finger,(and more).way faster then we do ina point and clcik game.lol

What is the code for chapter 4. It's on my work computer, and I'm at home today. Thanks

Any thoughts on whether exceeding the target score on the shuffleboard-esque tavern game produces more esteem than just matching the target score does?

I can't get past the first scene. Found the

but can't go to the next scene. What am I doing wrong?

Okay, finished it. Let's hope the last one is suitably epic to finish the series in style.

MonochromeMolly and Mtabprox,
I don't think our archvillain is

He was right in front of

Would have he stood right there wothout doing nothing?
I'd rather bet on

I meant "without", of course. Sorry. *self-beating with a dictionary*

MonochromeMolly, Mtabprox, and Mtl514

SPOILER: (click box to reveal/hide)

I think the arch-villain has to be someone in a position of considerable power - someone who could cause harm to the smugglers' families if they blagged on him -- and yet someone who's voice is familiar to our runner. My vote goes to ...

Who here thinks that bad guy is the owner of the Black Bull?

First!

way late Sam

I agree Andiar! I think that

?? Maybe I was hallucinating that day! LoL

Hmmm...maybe you guys are right about the other one, though...that would make it interesting!!

Lady Lark:

Thank you thank you thank you!!! I can't wait for June!!! YAY!!! *Dances*

@mtabprox : he disappeared into the london underground, remember...

so he definitely will make a comeback

Can someone please post the passcode for level 4. I really don't want to play level 3 again. Thanks!

Ditto on the code thing....I dont want to start over either.....Can someone please provide it?

I'm begging someone to PLEASE post the chapter 4 code, lol. Does no one want to help us poor desperate-to-play individuals who are playing the next chapter on a different computer and have misplaced the passcode email?

The code for chapter 5:
