    I had _Gumshoe_ for a while.  What are you looking for, information on
    how the game is in general (because you are thinking of buying it) or
    hints (because you have it already)?

121.2How do you playMILVAX::MAHONThu Aug 25 1988 19:0912
    I got nintendo for xmas, and about five nintendo games.  One of
    them was GUMSHOE.  Unfortunately, digging further into my stocking,
    no lazer gun appeared.  Oh well.  I lent the game to someone who
    has the lazer, and he has only gotten one diamond and falls over
    and edge?.  He said you have to turn the man around, but he doesn't
    know how to do that.  Any other tips on getting through the game
    will be greatly appreciated.  I think I'm going to get a gun within
    two weeks. 
    
    Thanks in advance,

    I don't remember all the details, but I do not remember anything about
    turning around, and I got more than one diamond.  You may have to jump
    carefully.

121.4How long are the phases?EMASA2::MAHONThu Sep 15 1988 19:049
    There was a mistake about turning around.  You only turn around
    if you bump into something. Then you go back to the other direction.
    My question here is:  How long before you get to the end of phase
    I?  I got to the section where it looks like beehives are falling
    from the sky and then you go to what looks like roadway again, but
    with alot more skull.  I am getting close to ending phase 1?  I
    keep getting killed, and it says you can start if in the phase you
    get killed in.  Can anyone help me??  I also found out if you hold
    the gun right up to the television screen.

121.6Beware of Zuli!!MILVAX::MAHONWed Sep 21 1988 19:478
    Well, I made it to the end, and all I have left to do is kill Zuli.
    He has the last diamond inside him.  I am  having problems doing
    that thought, because you have to shoot him in the eyes.  He spits
    out fire too fast.  When I go to shoot it, it doesn't seem to explode
    when it is supposed to and I get killed.  Another thing I figured
    out is when you enter the third world, you sometimes enter another
    version of it.  I haven't been able to get through the second version
    though. Oh well.  If I could only kill that Zuli!!!!
121.7Description?AUSTIN::MACNEALFri Apr 14 1989 16:004
    Can someone put in a description of this game?  The only lightgun
    game I have is Duck Hunt (it came with the system), and it got old
    fast.  I'd be interested in picking up other games for the gun if
    they are any good.
121.8thumbs down for Gumshoe4873::RASPUZZIMichael RaspuzziFri Apr 14 1989 16:3310
I rented Gumshoe sometime ago.  I can't remember too many specific things about
the game because I only played it for 15 minutes.  I did not like the game and
it was very dumb.

You use the light gun to move "Gumshoe" (he's some detective) and you protect
yourself with the gun (like shooting falling rocks).  That's about all I can
offer for help.  I didn't like it but you might.  You might want to consider
renting the game before buying it.
