Monday June 1, 1951 10:00am - The First Sighting
June 1, 1951 was a Friday, not a Monday. Couldn't they have set this on the 4th if it had to start on a Monday? would that be so difficult? I guess Cinemaware couldn't be bothered to buy a calendar.
The game really does flash this option. It's a way of telling you that if you do something else, that option won't be there again.
I guessed I should answer the door - no-one would bother me if it wasn't important, I wasn't exactly the social hub of the town.
I was not greeted by a beautiful dame, as I had been hoping, and my morning got a little bit worse. It was Geez, the prospector who had agreed to help me find samples of the meteorite. He was a bit of a drinker, but wasn't a bad sort. He offered to show me where he found the samples.
Unfortunately Marty McFly is nowhere to be found. The naming in this game sucks. Geez? Biff?
Biff was my other acquaintance here in Lizard Breath. He was at the local college, and was helping me out in exchange for extra credit to keep his GPA above 2.0. Since I had no idea why I was interested in Geez's donkey, I decided to talk to Biff instead. Geez would probably make some stupid pun about his donkey being as stubborn as a mule.
He also mentions that the donkey won't go near the south west volcano since the meteorite struck. Not a CLUE at all. Nope, no CLUE why that's in there.
Surprise, surprise. O'Riordan's was the local pub - Geez practically lived there. In fact, I'm not sure where he does live since my house is the only one in town. Seriously. Check the map later.
I ignored his lame wolfman impression which sounded more like a pig sneezing. I did however take note of the stories, meaning to investigate later. I had always wanted to be an amateur ghost investigator, but had never been able to get into the spirit of things - this was the perfect opportunity. My job as a geologist had become boring, and I took every opportunity to go off on unrelated tangents.
In the meantime, I took a look at the sample Geez had brought in
The idiot was right, one of the rocks did seem to be glowing. I find it curious though that he failed to mention the other rocks which were greener than my sofa.
Either way, I wanted a closer look at the rock. I knew it must be safe to handle, since Geez must have picked it up by hand, and it's been in a leather bag and now on a wooden table. I thought about asking Biff to hand it over..
