Paradise Game HELP!! (sand dabs)

[tiptoes]

I desperately need help with the game Paradise. I can't catch the sand dab. I can move Ann forward and backwards, right and left, and try and grab the sand dab, but I can't get it. I have been trying for 3 days!! Can anyone please send me a saved game??? I would very much appreciate it!! Or any suggestions on how to catch the sand dab? Thanks!!

I have read UHS, but it doesn't help. This puzzle is sluggish and slow for me and I can't grab one.

Welcome tiptoes. :)

I had a tough time with that part of the game as well. Poke through the UHS hints and if that doesn't help, try this thread (http://forums.adventuregamers.com/showthread.php?t=15391) which also had links to other hint threads as well. I found it to be a matter of trial and error. Start with Trep's link and the one's I gave you and we can go from there. :)

Thanks Melanie68. I read the links you sent. It sounds like it's all trial and error. I am just so frustrated after 3 days of trying to get that stupid sand dab! I was hoping for a saved game. I went to the one link that said he had uplifted the game, but it's not there. If you have any other suggestions, I would appreciate them. Thanks!

I desperately need a saved game for Paradise. I can't catch the sand dab. I've been trying for 3 days!! I can move Ann forward, backwards, right and left and can click on the reel to catch the stupid thing, but it NEVER happens. Can anyone please send me a saved game after catching it? Or any suggestions? Thanks!

I can't offer a savegame, but a tool that allows to skip that fishing part. Read about it here (http://forums.adventuregamers.com/showthread.php?t=15809), download it here (http://download.yousendit.com/ECEEBF6C21D32DB2).

Also, I can't guarantee that the tool still works (with the latest patches and all), but it most likely does. Backup the script.opk file if you are unsure, use with caution, etc etc.

[tiptoes]

Thank you, Melanie68!!! I will try it now, let's hope it works! I like the game, but those sand dabs are a pain in the you know what! Thank you!!

[Melanie68]

Actually kuze helped you :) but I also moved your save game request into your existing help thread. :)

[tiptoes]

Thank you Kuze and Melanie68! It worked and I am FINALLY through the sand dab part. I also saved before I did what you suggested, and I tried using the brown bait, as someone suggested, and it seemed to work. So, maybe that will help others if they read this. Thanks to the both of you!

[Melanie68]

Glad you got through it. :)

This is fantastic news. I'm stuck in exactly the same place. What a crappy game Paradise is, programming-wise. Even my commodore 64 had no problems with many moving things on the screen, but the sand-dab scene is too much for my 1300 MHz Duron (which is probably 2000 times faster than the C-64).

It doesn't get any better, believe me.
I don't think the game is worth the trouble.

I'll try to get past the fishy scene using the hack, and if I get stuck again due to a stupid bug then there will be: The Adventures of Ann Smith on e-Bay.
