THE RIDDLE OF MASTER LU
Walkthrough 12/95
This is a pretty complete walkthrough of the game. I've tried to give
just a general hint first under each main heading. For progressively
more complete answers, read down the indented list of HINTS under each
topic. But be aware that reading these Hint Lists will often gradually
give away the answers to the puzzles. Try covering them and only reading
as far as you need.
GENERAL HINTS
╖ sketch each place you visit
╖ take whatever you can
╖ talk to everybody
╖ try to use (or combine) items from your inventory
╖ get local currency at each Posh Express office
╖ send oddities to New York before leaving each city
╖ read all letters and messages
