Handyman Wanted is a point'n'click
"graphical adventure", that uses that whole "hold the left hand mouse button" verb disc navigation thing which I'm always quite partial to. In fact it all looks rather nice, my only real complaint being that it's exceptionally dark: I had to do all sorts of weird image manipulation to get the screen shot into a state where you could actually see it. Anyway, here's the official description, which I'm not even going to attempt to put into my own words, of what's happening in the game:
"It was in the summer of 1920 when I came upon the house. I was young and carefree, riding the rails, taking odd jobs. I stopped in a small town and answered an ad for a handyman. It was from the local bank. The letter said they had to foreclose on a house that had a serious family tragedy a few years back. He wanted to me to clean it up and do what repairs were necessary. I couldn't help but get the feeling he was holding something back, but I needed to work. I accepted the job and went out to the house to take a look."

Pdef
:The order of the statues:
SPOILER: (click box to reveal/hide)
back=closer to the window
back left-the one that looks like a upturned fish
front left-The one with a big hole in the middle
Front right-The one that looks like a bat
Back right-The one that looks like a swan (kinda)
Sanara
:I hate sliding puzzles....can anyone give me a direction?
Pdef
:I hate them too, took me about 5 tries.
SPOILER: (click box to reveal/hide)
The most help I can really give is that the picture is of an owl with his wings spread
Sanara
:hmm...seems I have to continue....
Biggs
:I can't get the matches to work in the fireplace or the pencil to work in the train, any hints folks?
Homono
:i cant
SPOILER: (click box to reveal/hide)
use the pencil with the train or light the fire
Higgo
:How did you get the position of statues? was it trial and error or is there a clue in the game i haven't spotted?
TonyT
:SPOILER: (click box to reveal/hide)
click the pencil once and then click the train, When you move the train the key is underneath
Pdef
:Higgo:
SPOILER: (click box to reveal/hide)
There is a clue in the puzzlebox that tells you where one of the statues go. I did trial and error for the other 3, although I'm guessing some cryptic clue in the book (between the trains) that gives a better clue
Homono
:how do you know when u have the statues right?
Homono
:ive gone thru the fireplace but now i'm stuck
Cr3am
:how do you get through the fireplace
Homono
:use the knife and put the meteor in the fire
Homono
:then talk to the fire place
Winniethepooh
:What will I do now? I put 4 statues in right position.

Szancsi

Ansa
:Well, that was short...finished!
Cr3am
:bugger used the meteor before the knife
Nemrac - HK
:Finished... wierd ending... I don't even know what I've been doing in the "Age of what-so-ever-you-call"......
Homono
:Winnie:
SPOILER: (click box to reveal/hide)
go downstairs to the fireplace. put the meteor in, use the knife n then talk to the fireplace
Homono
:Nemrac how did you finish?
Nemrac - HK
:Homono:
After you "walk" into the fireplace...
SPOILER: (click box to reveal/hide)
you will see three "ice cube", then there's a button in each of them. when you click the button, you will change? exchange? the statue with the large one showing as in the background...
By luck,
SPOILER: (click box to reveal/hide)
one of them will let you take the "power" from the socket, then, I just keep on clicking the button and taking and putting the power back... and that's it.
I don't even know what I was doing!
Homono
:i see y u wudnt know what you were doing
