Tips

  • Start here

    Bernard for the wiring, Razor for the band

    Your trio changes which puzzles exist. Always bring someone who can fix things. Use the old man as a resource, not a victim, unless you meant that ending.

  • Secrets

    The hamster has a fate

    The NES version edits a few gags, not the structure. Chain kids through the house — one distracts, one grabs. The meteor is a plant. Water it or don't.
