Swamp Lockup
The game locks-up at the swamp after Stick-in-the-Mud and Rotten Tomato throw the swamp ooze on Bump-on-a-Log. After installing the updated AUDBLAST.DRV (sb16drv.exe) sound driver from Sierra for the MS-DOS version. Set voice options to no audio card. A sound is supposed to be played after the scene. If you have your install options set to an audio card which isn't supported by your machine, the game locks-up.
Can't get Hole-in-the-Wall
After Alexander plays the flute, and the wallflowers continue dancing, they protect Hole-in-the-Wall the moment Alexander tries to reach for it. This is not a technical issue. Try several times. It should work eventually. Save and restore the game if necessary.
