The Dame Was Loaded
The Dame was Loaded is made by Beam International Pty Ltd.
This walkthru is based on the Australian PC CDROM release (which I
believe is identical to the US CDROM release and probably
identical to the Philips CD-I version)
JULY 29th
You start at your desk. The wooden box to your right is a storage
location I didn't find a use for the ring inside, but you can store
other things in here. On your desk is a picture of Angela, a
camera, and a fountain pen. The typewriter is your control panel.
Take the picture of Angela.
Click on the left side of the screen, where the cursor turns into an
arrow.
This is your partner Ralph Spencer. Talk to him and he'll suggest a
few things, mentioning Jake's.
Grab a cigarette from the pack at the front of Ralph's desk.
There's also a plunger hanging from the sink that can be taken, as
well as a dirty postcard - neither were really needed. Look at the
calendar above sink - today's date.
You have to go out the front door, where the landlord is waiting. He
wants $150 (see your online notes), but you can stall him by giving
him only $50.
This leaves you with $64.95, and you'll need to raise the rest
within 7 days or you get kicked out (which won't necessarily keep
you from winning).
But, you'll also have to spend money during the course of the case, so
you'll need more than just $100.
Exit out the front door (or back) and Anger goes to his car. The horn
and radio work here, but what's really important is the glove
compartment and the trunk latch. By clicking on the trunk latch to
the left of the radio, Anger goes back to the car trunk - a place
where you can store things (take what you want to put into the trunk
out of your inventory first).
By clicking on the glove compartment, Anger opens his map. When you
start the game, Scott knows about these locations:
first map page:
Anger's office
Mac's Barber Shop
Meg's Diner
Police Station (Officer Denton)
Newspaper Office (Frankie)
second map page:
Jake's Joint
Boarding House (forget going here, it's just for reference)
third map page:
Client (forget going here until the end of the game)
If you click on the map where nothing is marked, you go back to the
car view. When you're in the car, you can step back outside (to where
you just were) by moving the arrow to the left side of the screen,
near the steering wheel.
Open the map and click on the Barber Shop to drive there
Barber Shop (12:30 pm)
Read the paper on the bench:
Mayor Announces New Crime Reform
Click on chair to get a shave
note the comment about Periwig (a race horse) and the phone call
(Mac is a bookie)
Note that you can grab the hair on the floor here. You don't need it
for awhile, so don't bother.
Mac is very closed-lip; asking questions about the case will get you
nowhere.
Go to ......
Meg's Diner ( 1:00 pm)
Click on the menu and choose the donuts.
Click on the coffee to drink it and the donuts to eat the first
donut.
Your next stop is the Police Station, so hold onto that second
donut.
Click on the receipt in the upper left corner to pay the bill
Go back to the counter view. I saw no value to leaving a tip, so
just

Click on back door (the morgue)

Go back to office
NOTE: Whenever Scott drops his hat, pick it up. If you fail to do
this later in the game, you'll pay for it with his life.
At 6:00 pm, head to Jake's Joint ("Dog Alley")
You start with Jake's "speakeasy" door.
Knock on it to get Jake to come to the door.
Do Jake a favor and give him the raid roster from the Police
Station.
Inside, you meet your poker buddies:
G-G,
Mickey
Red Randall
This is where you can earn money, by playing poker.
This is also where you can get info about what's going on around
town - but you have to play a round of poker to ask a question.
To start a poker game, Click on your wallet and drop a buck into
the pile of cash on the table.
After a round, ask about Dan Small and you learn a new name -
