Post: RE: A little help please

It would be clearer if it said "my gas can". The confusion is resulting from clicking on the digger and it saying that. Your brain overrides "can" and makes you think it is talking about the digger's ...

Post: RE: Complete Walkthrough (finished!)

Someone's already posted a real nice walkthrough on gamefaqs including ascii maps. This one could be submitted if revised to being a "no-spoiler walkthrough".
