Technical Support / Known Issues

You may experience delays when moving from one location to the next, or pauses while the program loads data from the CD-ROM. It is highly recommended that you view the information in the manual and README file for further information on optimizing your computer's performance.

After successfully completing the retinal scan in Norad, the cursor displays a zoom icon. Clicking the zoom icon re-initiates the retinal scan sequence.

After clicking on an active object, such as a selection on a monitor, you may notice that the cursor disappears. By simply moving the mouse around, the cursor should reappear.

General Program Questions

How does Pegasus Prime fit into the Journeyman Series?

Pegasus Prime is a classic retelling of the best-selling CD-ROM that started it all. Based on the compelling story of the original Journeyman Project, the graphics and gameplay have been completely recrafted to show off the awesome power of the hottest new game technology. Fully-animated motion through eye-popping environments, intensely realistic robot adversaries, and not-to-be-believed new gameplay sequences are just a few of the substantial improvements.

Back

Does the program's performance have an affect time within the game?

In some instances there may be an activity that needs to be completed within a designated amount of time. If your system is busy loading data, it may impede your progress. It is recommended that you optimize your system for the best performance.

Back

Do I need to complete the Time Zones in a specific order?

Although there is a sequence in which the Time Zones need to be completed, you have full freedom to move about each time zone freely. Remember that upon entering a time zone, you will always return to the same spot in time, so you may need to repeat some actions.

Back

Can I transport back to any location within a time zone?

No. Whenever you transport to a mission environment via Pegasus (Prehistoric, Mars, Norad, WSC), you will always be transported into the same location and direction every time. If you explore a time zone for a while but do not complete the time zone, you will have to transport back to the beginning point of that zone.

Back

Can you miss an object in a time zone and then be unable to complete a mission?

No. You may find your progress temporarily halted, however you can use the Pegasus biochip to "recall" you back to TSA. From there, you can continue on to another time zone.

Back

Can I control the movement of the tunnel pod or shuttle on the Mars Colony or the sub in Norad?

No. The computer automatically controls these three vessels.

Back

When I accumulate more than nine object in my inventory, one object is removed to make room for new item. Will I need to use the deleted item again later on in the game?

No. Although some objects will be used at a later time, and possibly more than once, Pegasus Prime automatically removes objects whose function is complete and are no longer needed:

Priority Object
Beverage Glass
Poison Dart (removes itself upon use; only after analysis
Journeyman Key (only after opening the Prehistoric vault)
Access Card
Nitrogen Canister (only after deactivating Mars bomb game)
Power crowbar
Oxygen Mask

Items that will not allow you to use Pegasus if they are in your possession and will ultimately lead to your death:
Gas Canister
Assault Rifle

Items that can never be removed:
Argon canister
Office keycard
Card keyring
Antidote
Stun Gun
Card Bomb
Historical log (removes itself upon use)

Back

How is the game structured over the series of 4 discs?

Pegasus Prime does not store the game as sections of a linear story. Instead, each disc contains time zone environments in the following manner:
Disc 1 Caldoria (Apartment Complex), Norad Alpha, TSA [Temporal Security Annex] (small) + Installer
Disc 2 Prehistoric, TSA (full)
Disc 3 Mars, TSA (small)
Disc 4 WSC [World Science Center], Norad Delta, TSA (small)

Back

What is the 'Gandhi' bonus?

The 'Gandhi' bonus is given to players who successfully complete all three missions (Mars, Norad, and WSC) using 'non-violent" methods.

Back

Hints & Gameplay

If you find that you are unable to proceed in a time zone, you may not have an object in your inventory that is needed to continue. Some objects can be and will need to be taken from one time zone and used in another to help complete your mission and ensure your success.

There are two different ways to apprehend the final robots: In either a "violent" or "non-violent" manner. If you choose a violent means of apprehension, this can result in lost biochips that are needed later in the game.

If you are unable to complete a task due to load times, or missing inventory objects, you can set the game difficulty to "Walkthru", and use the AI biochip to solve the puzzle for you, if applicable. Note that using the "solve" option will only give you _ of the points possible for the puzzle.

If you come to an untimely demise, you will be presented with a menu of options, one of, which enables you to continue from your last safe spot in the game in order to achieve a different outcome. However, it is always recommended that you save your game frequently.

Remember that in most cases, once you obtain an object from a time zone, if you return to the time zone later on, the object will no longer be in its original location, since you will already have it in your inventory. This can be helpful when you need an object that was originally obtained by a series of actions.

You can use the Pegasus to recall you back to TSA at any time during a mission via the Pegasus biochip 'recall' button. Recalling in Pegasus brings your biosuit energy level back up to 100%.
