> Raised money every which way and am now short $13 that I need to pay for an item needed to hire a guide. Where on earth do I get that kind of money? Please help as I've tried everything at least 3 times. Did anyone else find this particular game so redundant as to be boring? But, I need to finish this for my own pride's sake. Thanks for any help you can give.

have you fed the monkey yet? or been back to the poker players after the fight?
and yes, i have found this game a lot more slow moving than the others, a lot of wandering around waiting for stuff to happen and doing the same things over and over again. it's not nearly as easy to work out what to do with the things you get, in most games you get a key and know what door it'll open, or end up with something that you know who to return to, in this one there seems to be a lot of trial and error and going from place to place without knowing what you're meant to do next. i feel sorry for the horse!
