A Case Of The Crabs
I need another point'n'click flash adventure game to whittle away my time like I need a hole in the head, but a case of the crabs is a gem, has a real sense of humour, and is in lovely old skool black'n'white from back in the days before flash animation got all modernised with technological marvels like colour [thanks daisy].

Janel: Every post twice? Maybe I should re-look at the way these comments work? Anyway...

The office is just the start - there are several locations to visit. Make sure you try to pick up, or at least look at everything in the office, and especially look at the box to get a clue to the next location. Once you've done this you should be able to exit the office and head to the docks. Good luck.

Thanx - I play all the games before I post them (and in some cases complete them). Try <a href="/article.asp?p=762">Droom</a> for a start, and then hunt back through the <a href="/default.asp?c=games">games</a> section, there's quite a few in there now.

what do you do at the docks?

Comment 16, Wednesday, July 28th 2004 11:49:00 PM

Anita

:
There is a squid in one of the boxes/buckets ( played it months ago). Get it to spray ink and use the sponge to clean it up. Now you have an inkpad for all your finger printing needs. Eventually the guy at the docks gives you new info and you get to go to the restaurants. You'll need your inkpad, along with the library card, to make a fake ID to get into one of them.

Comment 22, Wednesday, August 25th 2004 02:32:00 PM

Use wires with cans.Go to the boss and use listening device with window.Use device with victrola to make a recording device.Now you can record boss's conversation.
