| Q: |
How do I get passed
the first set of rolling barrels? |
| A: |
It is not too difficult. You can stick to walls and ceilings
by holding onto the JUMP key (SHIFT),
then to let go of the ceiling or wall, you simply release the
JUMP key. The image below shows Dr Goo sticking onto a piece
of green vine by his head.
Then when is is safe to drop down, you let go of the JUMP key
and continue to move right. You have to be quick otherwise another
barrel will drop out and you'll get squashed! |
| Q: |
How do I get passed
the Security Laser Shield? |
| A: |
The shield is toggled by a switch which is found directly
beneath it. (refer to image below)
You need to stand on the platform where the switch is and press
CTRL. This will turn the Security Laser Shield off. |

Questions |
| Q: |
Are there only 2
levels in Dr Goo? |
| A: |
Yes. It was a "pilot" game to see how much demand
there was for a platform game of the sort. A lot more work went
into the sequels, "Dr Goo 2:
The Plague" and "Dr
Goo 3: The Rubblebum War" |
| Q: |
What keys do I use
to play the game? |
| A: |
Move - Arrow Keys
Jump - SHIFT
Toggle Switches - CTRL (control)
Quit - Esc (Escape)

Problems & Errors |
| Q: |
Why is it that when
I start the game, I just get a screen mentioning "The Games
Factory" and then the game immediately terminates? |
| A: |
Although this bug has been known for some time, it only affects
a small percentage of users. There is no actual patch for it.
This is a bug in "The Games Factory" (the program
used to originally create all the games on this site). This
issue has been solved by re-creating all the games using "Multimedia
Fusion" (similar to "The Games Factory). All the games
have been upgraded so if you installed the game off a demo/shareware
CD or downloaded it previous to January 2000, then you'll have
to download and reinstall it again. More information about "The
Games Factory" and "Multimedia Fusion" can be
found at ClickTeam. |
| Q: |
Installing the game
causes other programs, like Microsoft Office to crash frequently. |
| A: |
This problem has been experienced by only a small percentage
of users, and is most likely caused by a software conflict occurring
during installation. The installation instructions clearly indicate
that all other programs should be closed during the installation
procedure. This is to prevent such problems happening. To resolve
this issue, you can scan your system files and, if necessary,
restore the previously saved configuration of your computer
system using the "System File" diagnostics tool that
comes with Windows 98. For more details on the diagnostics tool,
check the Windows help, or visit the Windows
98 website and do a search on "system files".
|
| Q: |
The game slows down
when I switch applications (by pressing "Alt + Tab") |
| A: |
This can be caused if you have a slower computer or too many
programs running. To resolve this, just switch applications
again (by pressing "Alt + Tab"). If it doesn't work
on the first time, it may take a couple tries. |
