How to save?

I can't find the menù to save, nor anything to load or to exit the game.
Could anyone help?

Not sure if you found it already but move the cursor to the top right corner of the screen.

Thank you! I was wondering the same thing... Now I have to start my game over. I hope there is a skip button in the menu.

Very weird setup. I had to come find an answer too. Thank you for someone having the answer.

The devs really ought to have at least bound the menu to esc in addition to their little icon. The days of every game having it's own entirely unique user interface, layout, menus, and keybinds are supposed to be long gone (for the better). No one likes to have to fish for how to control or exit a game. If you have to look online to find out how to access the menu or what the keybinds are for a game you are playing, then there was some oversight in the development process. Just saying.

I had no trouble at all finding it but then again I played many adventure games and this was the standard back in the day (no offense to anyone who missed the golden age of adventures).

The game's twelve years old.

Viewing the above thanks for the info. Any game that freezes when I can't exit on Ctrl-alt-del to stop the process usually gets an immediate death delete sentence. After a rage-exit on my first try of this game I will give it another go thanks for the info again!

Haha, got the same problem. Also I didn't find a way to use items until I found it here in the forum that you need to move the mouse cursor to the bottom of the screen.
There should be at least a hint that the menu is there. :-/

How do I get the game to run in Fullscreen? dgVoodoo gives me weird artifacts and it looks real bad in general if I fiddle with the resolution. I was expecting it to run like Broken Sword and not in a 800x600 square.

I just tried the game myself. It runs full screen normally to me, and by full screen I mean its 800x600 resolution stretched to fit vertically, with black bars on the sides to preserve aspect ratio. My monitor recognizes 800x600 as a resolution it knows how to scale and that's what it does because I have NVIDIA Control Panel pass over the scaling to the display. Alternatively I could set the GPU drivers to do the scaling. The important thing is to preserve aspect ratio.

I gave dgVoodoo a shot too, hoping running the game through it would let me scale up to a high resolution so at least the characters look sharp, but it just introduced some visual problems and slowdowns to the game so I stopped.

Dammit, played a while and wanted to save. Couldn't find the menu. So I pressed the WIN-key and looked in here to find the solution, but it was impossible to get back into the game. The task was pinned to the taskmenu, but couldn't be reactivated to continue playing.
