by Malcolm Schmidt about 2 minutes to read

 

MOVING CRATES – GENERAL TIPS

 
01) Note that crates can be pushed or pulled – depending on where they must be moved to
02) When pulling a crate there must be at least two ‘crate spaces’ behind you
03) When pulling a crate that’s on top of another one there must another crates behind you
04) A crate that’s on top of another one can be pushed onto an adjacent crate
05) If you cannot walk to a position to get to a crate, climb over it
06) Crates can only be moved on the level they are – they cannot be lowered or raised
 
 
 
 

TIMED SEQUENCES

 
When you need to manipulate George (or Nico) in various directions, while pressing the <SHIFT> key, I always held the <SHIFT> key with my left hand and pressed the direction keys with three fingers of my right hand.
 

 
 
If you’d prefer to use both hands to manipulate the direction keys, but also need to keep the <SHIFT> pressed, this can be done with XP’s StickyKeys function. StickyKeys is used to keep <SHIFT> permanently locked.
 

HOW TO ACTIVATE STICKYKEYS
01) Go to Control Panel, Accessibility Options
02) Select the Keyboard Options tab and tick the box for ‘StickyKeys’
03) Check the settings – all items must be ticked
04) Press ‘Apply’ and there should now be an icon in the right corner of the taskbar
05) In the game you now only press <SHIFT> once and it remains locked
06) To unlock the <SHIFT> key press it 3 times
 
NOTE
StickyKeys can also be activated while playing the game. Simply press  the <SHIFT> key 5 times in succession. The game will pause and the Accessibility Options Menu appears.
