Barnett College for a mysterious statue. Atthis stage, as Indy proceeds from room toroom, you can examine an object more closely - and in some cases, make use of tsimply by clicking on the item. Tty dickingon the gargoyle in the foreground.

After you've found the statue, Indy willreturn to his office, where the next part of hestory will unfold in a cut-scene. Cut-scenesare short, animated sequences - like scenesfrom a movie -which can provide clues andinformation. They're also used to show special animated sequences, as when an unsuspecting jungle rodent helps Indy get .rid of asnake. When you are viewing a cut-scene,your cursor disappears and - for themoment-you do not control events.

You begin directing Indy's actions as hearrives in New York City. The display isdivided into the following sections:

~ ; ; T H E AcnoN SCREEN is the largest pa1tof the display. This is where the animatedaction takes place. Dialogue spoken by thecharacters also appears here.

~ T H SENTENCE LINE is directly belowthe Action Screen. You use this line to conshuct sentences that tell Indy what to do. Asentence consists ofa verb (action word) and

tion the cursor over the word and press theleft mouse/joystick button or the ENTERkey. The game has a "quickverb" featurethat highlights an appropriate verb when thecursor touches an interesting or usefulobject on the screen . For example, whenIndy is near a door that can be opened, positioning the pointer over the door will high-1 gh the verb Open Pressing the righ tmouse/joystick button or the TAB key (toemulate the right button) will use the quickverb with the object, wh ich in this case opensthe door. Don't worry: this feature won't giveaway solutions to any puzzles. Keep in mindthat even though a verb is highlighted, it maynot be the only way to use an object. Try theother verbs as well

w NouNs (objects) can be selected in twoways. You may select a noun by placing thecursor over an object in the Action Screen.Many objects in the environment, and allusable objects in the game, have names. If anobject has a name, it will appear on the Sentence Line when you position the cursor overit. If no name appears for an object on thescreen, you can be sure that it has nosignificance other than as part of the background. You may also select nouns by dicking on them in the Inventory.

TH INVENTORY ICONS are located to

the right of the Verbs. At the beginning ofthe game Indy's inventory is limited to whatever he has retained from the first cut-scene.When he picks up or is given an object to useduiing game play, an icon for that object isadded to the Inventory. There is no limit tothe number ofobjects Indy can carry. Whenthere are more than ten objects in the Inventory, arrows appear to the left of the icons.Click on them to scroll the icon window upor down.

~ T H INDY QUOTIENT 0ISPIAYwill helpyou keep track of your progress through thegame. Press the Inventory / IQ Point k y i- to view your point totals. (See "Indy Quotient (IQ) Points below for a full explanationofIQ Points.)To move Indy around, position the cursorwhere you want him to go, and click. Noticethat alk is the default verb in the SentenceLine - this is because moving around iswhat Indy will be doing most often.

pick up the newspaper, select the verb Picku by placing the cursor over the verb andpressing the left mouse/joystick button orthe NT R key. Notice that the words "Pickup appear on the Sentence Line. Positionthe cursor over the newspaper and press theleft mouse/joystick button or the NT Rkey. This completes the sentence "Pick upnewspaper" on the Sentence Line. If Indy isnot already standing by the newspaper, hewill walk over to it and pick it up. The newspaper's icon will be added to your inventory.

Open the theater's back door. See if youcan talk your way past the doorman withoutgetting into a fistfight (see the section entitled "Talking to Characters" for m ore information - and the section entitled "Fighting" .. just in case).

Explore the alley a bit further ... maybethere's another way to get into the theater.

Once you're in the theater, try to distractthe stagehand. With him out of he way, youshould have plenty of opportunity to try toattract Sophia's attentionhe athsT ACERT INPOINT in the game, you will

find yourself back in Indy's office, with adecision to be made: should you persuadeSophia to continue with Indy on your search(the eam path)? Do you want to proceed onyour own, using your intellect to overcomethe obstacles in your way (the Wits path)? Orwould you rather spice up your quest with alittle more action (the ists path)?

There are three ways to proceed from thispoint. The choice you make will influencethe course of he story. While the Team, Witsand ists paths cross one another at times,many of he puzzles and their solution aswell as the places you can visit - will be differen t. The paths re-converge when youreach Atlantis.

We suggest you reserve a Save Game slotfor this decision (see Game Controls below,to learn how to save your game). That way,once you've successfully completed the pathofyour choice, you can reLum to the point ofdecision to sample a different path.

When the drop in Healthbecomes critical, the displaywill becomered.When a combatant's Health is entirely usedup, he will be knocked unconscious. If Indyrests between fights, he will heal and hisHealth Power will return to normal.

The Punch Power display shows howpowerful Indy s swing will be. Each timeIndy tries to hit, his Punch Power takes a fewmoments to build back up to ils maximum.If Indy swings again too quickly, he will nothit with maximum power. Of course, it maybe more important to keep his enemy offbalance than to hit for maximum effect. Indycan punch High, Middle, or Low, to try to get

past his opponent's defenses. Each enemyhas his own individual strengths and weaknesses.

To punch your opponent, position thecursor on him (either High, Middle or Lowand press either mouse button (you canswitch to keyboard control for fistfights, ifyou wish - see your reference card fordetails).

Indy also has some defensive moves. Hisopponents often set their fists a momentbefore they try to punch. fyou watch for thisand have Indy block at the same level - bypositioning the cursor on Indy (either High,Middle, or Low and clicking-you can successfully block the punch. Also, Indy canstep back to increase the distance betweenhimselfand his opponent . This can be usedto buy a little time for Indy to recover some ofhis Punch Power. f you don t lil
