Bugs and Mistakes

    After you open the cabinet in Gideon's Study you will see a blue card. Get the blue card then open the travel panel and click on Gideon's Study then press "Go". Take a look in the cabinet. The card is back! You can get it again but after the first time it won't show up on your inventory menu.


   Having trouble getting passed the droids in Alcatraz and are on Gamer mode? Well you can actually by-pass them by hitting Alt-D. This is strange because you are not meant to by-pass anything on Gamer mode.


    After you drug Harry Rice you'll notice that the mug is on the floor by him but the mug he used is also still beside the coffee pot.


    While Tex is talking to Sylvia Linsky for the first time, she dumps his lollipops into the top of the Parcheesi box. But after the Sylvia scene the lollipops are in the ashtray and there is no Parcheesi box. Also Tex's vid-phone is not on his desk during the movie scene. Thank to Mats Fredriksson for this information.


Remember that dime you pick up at the Anasazi Ruin? Well here's what it looks like in VR. Look strange? Well it should. That's a quarter, not a dime.

Safe through Table  

Well I didn't know where to put this one so here it is. If you don't see anything turn up the brightness on your monitor. It's the safe going right through the book case. To do this, after you unlock the safe at the Fresno Office, close it and move the book case back, get into a spot where you can see behind the bookcase and open up the safe again.


Right: There is an envelope that appears in John Klaus' desk for a split second as you open it, but you can not get it. Maybe it was originally going to be something that they cut out of the game. Thanks to Mats Fredriksson for this discontinuity (It's actually more like an odd occurrence than a discontinuity, but I needed somewhere to put it). envelope.jpg (12988 bytes)

If you don't get Tex's PI rulebook, he still has it during movie scenes like the one at Robert Knott's cabin and at the ending scene on the way to Sylvia's.

At the Big Surf Lodge, the closet's blue in VR mode, but during the movie scene where Slade's talking on the phone, it's red.

You can stand up as high as you want in the bathtub at the Lodge, but when Slade comes in, he still won't notice you.

Thanks to Blair Yeany for these three mistakes.


While you are hidden behind the crates near the guard room at Alcatraz you can get up as high as you'd like (even if you think the guard would see you). From here you can even get Gideon's Hairbrush and look at the passcard reader. You'll also notice that there's the maintenance droid awaiting some work on the floor.


The Saline Solution is labeled wrong. As you see it says "N184" but the autoclave sys "N216" which is the correct number

During the final scene when Tex and Chelsee are coming out of the restaurant, you can see one of the microphones (or another piece of equipment) in the top left corner. It is much easier to see on the DVD version, but if you pay close enough attention you should notice a little glare and a black thing move into the shot in the CD version as well.


In the scene where Tex asks Clements if she caught Slade (visit her after you tip her off on Slade) you can clearly see a microphone in the shot in the top right corner. There's a screenshot to the left.

The picture above the fish tank in Knott's office is gray, but when Tex tries to get it and gets bit by the piranhas, its red. Thanks to Chris Marsland for these two mistakes.


If you look at the mail at the Fresno Office (the first time you visit) in VR mode, you'll notice the date on it is February 2037, but when you examine it it says November 2037, which has to be the correct date since Tex said mail is still being delivered to this address, if it were delivered in February (since the game takes place in November) that wouldn't prove much.
