   * AS HOAGIE, LAVERNE, AND BERNARD TOGETHER

-----------------------------------------------------------

As Bernard when starting-

1)So where is the secret lab?
Open the grandfather clock.

2)Where are the battery plans?
On the bulletin board in the lab between the generator and the
Sludge-o-Matic machine.
-----------------------------------------------------------

AS HOAGIE-

1)So how am I supposed to save the world?
Find Red Edison, get the battery built, get the battery charged, plug in the
Chron-o-John.

2)How do I find Red Edison?
Enter the grandfather clock in the foyer and enter the secret passage.

3)Who's the guy in the field?
That's Ben Franklin-knows a lot about electricity-check back with him after
you get the battery built.

4)What about the mummy?
That's Dead Cousin Ted-talking to his silent, bandage-wrapped bod often
helps Hoagie organize his thoughts.

5)I can't get Red to build the battery.
He needs oil, vinegar, and gold; you'll have to provide the ingredients.

6)How can I get the gold?
You could try to take the pen on the table, but they would catch you, You'll
need to get rid of them, there is a smoke alarm on the mantle, they seem
very concerned about fire. To start a fire, you'll need Jefferson's log.

7)Jefferson won't fork over the log.
He sure does admire Washington! If he thought Washington was cold maybe?

8)What would make Washington look cold?
Make his teeth shake so he thought he was cold. Replace his current false
teeth with the chattering teeth found in the convention hall in Bernard's
timeframe.

9)How do I get the chattering teeth?
Open the floor grate by the fireplace, then chase the teeth into the grate,
and pick them up from there.

10)Washington won't take the teeth.
You'll need a cigar to remove those teeth. You have to find a way to get one
from the novelty salesman in the convention hall in Bernard's time.

11)How do I get the cigar from the salesman?
Sabotage the lighter so he can't use it! You need to switch the flag gun
from Dwayne's room for the lighter gun in the convention hall. Dwayne's
chair (on the door) is in the way; you need to get Dwayne to leave, so
Bernard can grab the gun.

12)How can I get Dwayne to leave?
He is very depressed-he could use some good news. If only someone admired
one of his ideas....Have Hoagie get the letter from the mailbox and give it
to Bernard to give to Dwayne.

13)O.K., I've built a fire, but I still can't get the pen.
You need to block the chimney, but you need something that can be stuffed
into the chimney to keep the smoke in. Use Handcock's blanket-go up on the
roof (through the attic) to do it.

14)Where can I find the oil?
Check the kitchen for the oil.

15)How do I get vinegar?
Start with the bottle of wine in Franklin's room. Wine turns into vinegar if
not properly stored. Time is the key factor-give it to Jefferson for his
time capsule.

16)How do I open the time capsule?
Laverne has to open it in the future after the tentacles dig it up, now if
only Laverne had some way to open a metal canister. Have Hoagie give Laverne
the can opener. Then she can use it in the Colonial Room to open the time
capsule and give Hoagie the vinegar.

17)How do I get Laverne out of the tree and upstairs?
See Laverne's section in this Hint Book.

18)O.K., I've given the battery ingredients to Red, and i've got the
battery, but it still won't work.
Try looking at the battery. You need to get it electriclly charged- try
Franklin's kite.

19)Ben says it's too sunny for his experiment. How can I make it rain?
Wash the carriage with brush, soap and water.

20)I've found the water. Where's the brush and soap?
The brush is in the cabinet in the washroom where you found the bucket. The
soap is on the maid's cart.

21)I still haven't found where the soap is.
You'll need to do something in Washingtons room to make it messy.. Use the
bed, pull the sash, then run out in the hall and pick up the soap off the
cart.

22)How can I get Ben to fly the kite again?
He still needs waterproof kite material. The lab coat in Red's workshop is
waterproof. Give him the lab coat from the lab downstairs, then use the
battery with the kite when Ben gives it to you. Push the kilte when Ben says
"Now". Then pick up the battery and plug in the Chron-o-John.

23)How can I get the lab coat?
Red might give it to you if you were trusted.. Hire on his assistant by
giving him the Help Wanted sign.
-----------------------------------------------------------

AS BERNARD-

1)When can I get a diamond for the time machine?
You need money. If Dr.Fred were to sign the contract in the safe in his
office...

2)How do I get Dr.Fred to open the safe?
Talk to Edna about the way to his heart.. Put him to sleep by using the
Decaf coffee from the kitchen in his mug.

3)I still can't get the safe combination.
He keeps his combination in his head. You need someplace to observe Fred
carefully. Watch Dr.Fred on TV in Edna's room

4)How do I get past this Edna person?
Don't you wish you could push her out of the way? The problem is that sword
on the statue. If only the statue were right-handed...

5)How can I get rid of the statue?
Have Hoagie get the left-handed hammer from Red's workshop, and switch it
for the right-handed one in Jed & Ned's room, then push Edna.

6)Dr.Fred spins the dial too fast. How can I slow him down?
Maybe you could slow the TV image down... Get the video tape from Green
Tentacle's room.

7)Fred is still to fast for me.
Try instant replay.. Use the tape with the VCR, then press the red record
button. Rewind the tape, then change the right hand switch to EP. Now play
the tape again. Bernard now knows the combonation and can open the safe.

8)How do I get the contract signed? Dr.Fred has disappeared.
He hasn't disappeared; he's up in the attic tied to a bed.

9)The IRS won't let me see Dr.Fred.
Sneak up the chimney.

10)Dr.Fred can't sign the contract. He's all tied up.
Pick up the rope.

11)How do I remove red tape?
If only someone would take his place.. Maybe you could get another family
member to help here..

12)How do I move Ted?
Use the rope with the pulley. Tie the rope to Ted. Pull the rope while
standing on the roof.

13)The IRS dosen't seem to be fooled.
Color him red.. Get the red paint from the attic.

14)How do I get Fred out of the attic?
Try the same way you got Ted in. Tie the rope to Fred, then go out on the
roof and pull it.

15)Now that i've freed Fred, how do I wake him up?
You need the regular coffee from the kitchen.

16)Fred dosen't seem thirsty.
Use the funnel from the cabinet in the washroom with Dr. Fred, then use
coffee with the funnel.

17)Fred won't sign the contract.
Tell him you'll stop the tentacles by yourself.

18)Wait a minute; this contract's outdated.
Just like he should have shut off the sludge machine earlier. This isin't a
problem when you've got a time machine. Let Hoagie mail it.

19)Where can I get a stamp?
Weird Ed's got some and as long as their useful he'll keep them. Get the
disappearing ink from Dwayne's room and use it with the stamp album.

20)O.K., Dr. Fred has money, but he won't order the diamond.
Get Dr.Freds bankbook from the office, then make sure to watch TV before you
call the Shopping Network.
-----------------------------------------------------------

AS LAVERNE-

1)How do I get Laverne out of the tree?
That tree has got to go.

2)What could hurt a kumquat tree?
Get Hoagie to talk to George Washington about chopping down the tree!

3)This isin't the right kind of tree for George.
Paint the tree red with the paint from the attic, then challenge George's
tree-chopping ability while he's in the convention hall. (Dialouge path
1,1,2,2, if you haven't alked to him before, otherwise 2,2)

4)Now Laveren is imprisoned. How can I get her out?
Have Laverne talk to the guard and say she's sick or ask to go to the
bathroom.

5)O.K., how can I get Laverne out of jail FOR GOOD?
You need to make a tentacle costume with the tentacle chart from the
tentacle doctor's office, those would make a good patern for a costume.

6)Who would make a disquise?
Try leaving the tentacle pattern with Betsy ROss.

7)Laverne can't get to the Chron-o-John.
You'll have to get Laverne captured again, then tell the guard you have to
go to the bathroom and head for the yard.

8)How can I get to the roof?
Use the fireplace!

9)How can I reach the disquise?
Get the crank from Bernard and use it with the crank box, then turn the
crank.

10)How can I get the guard to let me open the clock?
Get rid of him. What is the thing he loves to do? Chase down and catch
escaping humans. So get some to escape.

11)None of the humans in the front hall want to go anywhere.
Get rid of the Kennel Guard. If you won the contest, you could use the
dinner certificate.

12)How do I win the contest? I don't have a human.
Ted, the mummy, sort of looks like a human.

13)Ted won't leave the room.
Use the skates. Then push.

14)When does the contest start?
You need to register Ted first. Get a tag from the blue tentacle by the
fireplace in the regisration room.

15)When does the judging start?
Talk to the judges to get them to attend to business.

16)How can Laverne win?
Get rid of Harold.

17)Harold won't leave.
He might if he were sick or looked sick. What about the fake barf in
Bernard's time? You need to get it off the ceiling. Turn on the stereo and
push over the speaker in the middle of the tentacles' room, then get the
barf and have Laverne use it with Ted.

18)I got rid of Harold, but I still don't think Laverne will win.
Ted lacks a certain lifelike quality. He needs a better laugh, a better
smile, and better hair.

19)How can I get a better laugh?
Get Oozo's laugh box from the clown in the convention hall in Bernard's
time.

20)That clown drives me crazy.
Use the scapel to do him in.

21)How can Ted get a better smile?
Who has nice teeth? The talking horse in Hoagie's time has a really good
smile.

22)Smiles aren't easy to steal.
They are dentures. Put the horse to sleep.

23)What could relax a horse?
Bernard's textbook could put anyone to sleep.

24)How can I cure Ted's scalp problem?
Have you flushed the spaghetti?

25)Ted's "hair" just isin't good enough.
Use the fork from the kitchen in Bernard's time with the spaghetti on Ted's
head...

26)Even with the kennel guard gone, those darn humans still won't leave.
You'll have to scare them.

27)What could possibly scare a human?
A wild animal? a SKUNK?

28)Where could I find one of those human-scaring critters?
The black cat outside? Paint the fence white so when he rubs his back he
will get a white stripe.

29)How could I improve the appearence of the fence?
There is no white paint in the whole game. So use the Booboo-b-gone from
Fred's office on the fence.

30)I still can't pick up the cat.
Cat food could be a good thing to use to lure him down. Use the toy mouse
from the attic in the past.

31)That cat in the past is very selfish.
What if there was something to distract him like a mouse? Something like a
squeaky mattress?

32)The cat's too fast for Hoagy.
Use the squeaky mattress with the other bed.

33)I made it to the basement, but there's no way to use the generator.
You'll need a hamster from Ed's room in Bernard's time to power it.

34)Ed threw me out of his room, and I can't get back in.
Give Ed the stamp album.

35)The only hamster is in the present, and I can't flush it.
How can I preserve the hamster? Put him on ice-Put the hamster in the ice
machine.

36)What good is a cold critter?
Thaw the hamster out in the microwave.

37)A chilly and wet hamster isin't very useful either.
Maybe a sweater would warm it up. The sweater's stuck under the guy in the
bedroon in Bernard's time.

38)How do I wake up the guy in pajamas?
The Fickle Finger machine might move him-if you had enough dimes.

39)How do I get the dime out of the gum?
Use the crowbar.

40)The guy in the ski mask won't give me the crowbar.
He needs some other way to get in the car. Give him the keys you can get by
closing the door inside the honeymoon suite.

41)The sweater won't flush.
2 problems - it's too big and it's too wet. A dryer might solve both but it
needs quarters.

42)Where can I get quarters?
Use the crowbar with the candy machine.

43)Bernard can't get the sweater out of the dryer.
Laverne can get it out...

44)I forgot why I needed the sweater.
To warm the hamster so it can run the generator.

45)I've lost my hamster.
He's in the mousehole. What you need is a vaccum-cleaner.

46)Where could I find a vaccum cleaner?
Have Hoagie use the vaccum cleaner flier from the lobby with the suggestion
box.

47)Help! The hamster's stuck in the vaccum cleaner.
Open the hatch and get it out!

48)How do I disable the booby trap?
You already have - it's a one-hit wonder.

49)The generator's running, but I can't connect it to the Chron-o-John.
Use the extension cord from the seventies exhibit through the basement
window to connect the Chron-o-John to the generator.
-----------------------------------------------------------

AS HOAGIE, LAVERNE, AND BERNARD TOGETHER

1)I'm too small to do anything and somebody stole my inventory.
Everything you need is in the mansion, and being small wears off.

2)How can I get to the switch? There's 10 tentacles guarding it.
Get the bowling ball from green Tentacle's room.

3)Old Purple Tentacle zaps me before I can do anything.
Maybe there's a secret passageway you haven't noticed yet all through the
game. Get Dwayne's door open when large, get Old Purple to zap you, run
through the mousehold when small, wait there until you grow, and pick up the
bowling ball when large.

4)Now Old Purple Tentacle won't let me throw the switch.
If only you could shoot HIM with the ray gun. There IS a mirrow in the room.
Talk to Old Pur into shooting Dr.Fred (Dialouge path 1,4,1,3)
