The CPU cylcles in DOSbox are set too high, so the robot moves too fast. When in the boiler room, press Ctrl+F11 to slow them down to like 1000 (You can see the setting at the top in windowed mode). Ctrl+F12 can speed it up again if you want, but their seems to be no point. This helps some with the shooting sections also it seems.

Dude I'm about to pull my hair out. I'm stuck in the same ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ spot, the controls in this game are ♥♥♥♥. I can't beat the robot to the door, I walk through the walls, I regret playing this game.

Know that feel u.u, I could finish the game that time trying lots of times. You have to find the exact timing and spot to walk, because you always get stucked in the door. After lots of yelling and trying and error you will pass across that door. (There is no checkpoint there, so if you lose after that you have to play that horrible event again). That's it. You have to remember the exact path you have to make to reach the door. :madTom:

You need to move your character as far as possible away from the remote control panel but where you still see the options for LOOK, GET, etc. Then once you press ON/OFF, you need to press escape as fast as possible to get your character to start moving again. Then walk in a direct line to the open door. It is possible to squeeze him in.
