Welcome to Journey to the Center of the Earth forum

hi can some one help me were do i get a new conch

Hi everyone - I just finished playing JCE and LOVED it. I like Adventure Large File games and before playing JCE I played Syberia and Syberia II - loved those as well.
I also admit to using a walkthrough (at times) I guess this game has been out for several years but here it is July 09 and I just found it. Hope readers can suggest more games like this. However I tried the Spinx series but wasn't fussy on the way the game played ... it kept 'sticking' so I scrapped it. So please, suggest other adventure games like JCE or Syberia. Thank you.

found a cheat for the Turn off the alarm of the geyser elevator

Hi, pinkjacket! Try Nostradamus - nice game.
Return to Mysterious Island is great but you'll probably have to use walktrough most of the time . It's not bad to use walktrough, they can be useful but do not be afraid of trying figure out things by yourself. It's not fun if you all the time useing walktrough. You play game because you want to get some fun. How can it be fun if you use cheats?
I liked Syberia 1 and 2 too. Journey to the Centre of the Earth is ok. Nothing special but ok. Ariane has a lovely face.

I am in the research lab and trying to get arianne to open door to get helium but all she does is walk in circles.

HELP!!!!

This sux i can't figure out the ball puzzle and i have the walk thru but i still can't figure it out is there an easier way?? like 123456 you know can anyone give me the number of what ball's go on witch side and witch number is the ball i leave out?/

The ball puzzle is random. You really only know you've got the correct ball by its inventory description (light / unique).

1 2 3 4 : 5 6 7 8 .... if the scales balance, the lightest must be in 9 10 11 12

If one of the pans of 4 is higher, the lightest must be in that pan.

You should be able to work out what to do - 4 / 2 / 1 balls per pan - after that.

You have to reset after the 1st and 2nd weighing, but not after the 3rd.

I'm new to this community and I like the beautiful scenery in Journey to the center "with nothing to do in them" It gives me a chance to take in some cool graphics before I drop kick my laptop. I do like the game but it is not a USER FRIENDLY interface. Wow, I have to enter and exit a scene 15 times before the good stuff happens. I hope the pace picks up or I may break down and dare I say " use a walk through" those are dirty words in this house until the game has been played at least once with out cheating. Then we go back and hunt down stuff we missed. Journey to the center is starting to look like you must master all challenges or no progress is made. I'll need medication to muster that much patience! Not for the ADD or ADHD crowds. This is an obsessive compulsives dream, dream, dream, dream, oh sorry. See, I told you medication.

JCE is a typical search and hunt game , one of those that you check every wall every nook every cranny for "hot spots" I played it about a year ago and thought it was great ,, a few spots were a tad confusing , but all in all it was not very hard ..All of the puzzles are common sense, and some can be a bit repetitious as you "error" but all in all it kept me amused for a week or so playing when I felt like it ..I never used a walkthrough, but then I never do and I sure is not no game genius by any sort.. I found Voyage way more difficult , Syberia and Syberia 2 were also excellent linear games similar to this one, They were about the same difficulty.. Simple tip on all these games ,, if you move to a new area automatically "save" at that point and do so each and every time.. This way you can always go back one notch and not have to start the whole game over again.. I guess there are numerous walkthroughs, try gamezebo or gameboomers all those sites have walkthroughs that are printable.. That is if you need it.....

Hi All

I found the justadventure walkthrough, (Just type in justadventure in the address line), was the best one. It is made for dummies like me who will spend hours on one area and then find from the walkthrough that I had to go back one or two steps to pick somethim=ng up I missed. One of the things that most of the walkthroughs don't say about the ball puzzle is DO NOT RESET AFTER THE THIRD WEIGHING. I kept resetting for a good 3 days of attempts, I probably had it the first time but I kept resetting and I would have to start again Daaa. Have fun, it is rewarding to finish it.

Rubbish

I am disappointed in this game, too. It is interesting if you can get past the glitches..I have turned all the extras off on my computer and the game(into 3 hours of playing) freezes up! My computer has way more specifications than needed for this game. I have played large file games alot, but this one just won't work right. Any suggestions? You can use the Universal Hint System online and get good hints.

I have given up on this game. There are so many glitches that it makes enjoying this game impossible. I would not recommend this game to anyone. If Big Fish puts out another game like this one, I will not purchase any further games from them. A total waste of time!!!!

I will try to help you guys, first of all click on the bottom of your screen,all of the stuff you pick up will be there.Push your esc button to get out of the game.
This will take you to a place where you can save,load,options ,start or exit.
When you first land and the chopper get ruined by boulders, just click on every thing.Pick up the blade at the front of the chopper, click the bottom of your screen and it will be there, use it to open the chopper door, once in,click on everything in there,you will pick up a bag it will say use on it, push the use button. You will then have more stuff, use the screwdriver to get the first aid box,once again push the use button on it,and you will have yet more stuff.Hope that helps, that is as far as I have gotten,Oh use the blade on the rock in front of the cave,(a pair of feet will show up where you can more to).You won't be able to leave just yet, as I said that is as far as I got,there is something else you have to do before you can leave.
Any one else out there know any more....HELP

size][size=18]Just finished Journey to the center of the Earth, and had fun and at time was a bit irritated because of the glitches in the game. But in all wow what a game!
The cut scenes are breath taking and the plot is very nice.
But the biggest issue I had with this game was the floating island. It was impossible to play, and after a lot of research I found out that in the download version of the game this puzzle is already solved, so no need to break your head over it, you can just skip it. A bit of a shame because it looked intriguing,so don't waste any time over it.
It is a long game with a lot of puzzles, walking and talking, but no complaints here since this is a true ad venture. Have fun playing!!

You guys who got this game as a freebie should feel somewhat lucky. I actually paid for it. Boy am I sorry already. I wish I had come here first.

You can use the Esc key on the keyboard to go back to the starting spot and exit from there. That's all I can help you with.

This game blows, I want my money back!
