Infocommies,

As far as the Lost Treasures I are concerned, I think that Activision gave
us the hints because they don't want to spend more money selling them in
seperate packages.  BEWARE!!!  It is far too tempting to look at those hints
unless you lock them in a trunk, then bury the trunk underwater in the middle
of the nearest ocean.  However, Activision (in their infinite money-grubbing
ways) decided to not issue hint-books for LT II, but instead to charge us
over a 900 number for clues.  I wrote a letter of protest to Activision, but
never heard from them.  But in any even, if you want the games in their
original format (except for Hitchhikers) buy LT I&II.  The hours of enjoyment
they provide are beyond the dollar.  Enjoy, and I'll try and find out what the
rod and the urchin are doing (if I remember the game correctly, they're
important!).  
See ya's!
