Try the command "put." And you need to be more specific than just "machine."

The game runs a Java applet. You might visit http://java.sun.com/javase/downloads/index.jsp and get the latest version of Java. That will also repair any Java plug-in issues you might have.

All I was left wondering was how to get the full score. I got the extra points for the suit, and ROMEEROOO, but I still need 10 points to get full score. Any help?
Me too! I hate having things left uncompleted like that.

I've no idea what to do with the Mortal Kombat ghost. All I have is the key, that useless costume, and the essential book.
Stick the kettle on and have a think. I'm sure it'll come to you
Still not sure. Seems I'm not allowed to take a cup...
I had this problem too... a certain room has a certain something that still hasn't been used, play with it for a while, and the correct command will come to you... quite literally ;)
this is driving me nuts.

I'm pretty sure I know what object specifically you're referring to (don't wanna give it away to other people) but I've tried touching it, hitting it, playing with it, turning it on, moving it, taking it, switching it on, put the keys and the costume in it, tried getting it, opening, closing....and everything else, and nothing seems to work.

I'm also fairly certain the dirt is not dirt, but by the life of me I can't take it with me, touch it, grab it, examine it anymore, answer the "is this really dirt?" question, nor grab anything else to take it with me...

You're VERY close, caliostro. When you examine said object, there's a clue as to what you need to do in the description.

Think about your senses.

Edit: You're on the right track. This isn't about the first item you mention, but rather, the second - but you NEED the first item.

I tried to make the language as forgiving as possible, but there are certain instances where fairly specific language is required. Welcome to text adventures. :)

Also just wanted to point out that the number of moves you use does not count against you, so try everything.

If folks are still having trouble finding the last ten points in a few days,I'll give you a hint, but let's give folks a while to try and find them first.

Love the chicken suit, BTW. Think I can get a hint on how to open the door to the storage room?

Edit: Never mind, I was being a dumbass.

Well, it's locked, right? How do you normally get through a locked door?

By the way, tons of kudos to Susan Arendt for putting this thing together. I know the amount of work that went into it (or rather, I can hazard a guess) and it turned out pretty awesome :D
