The ship you are trying to escape on belongs to the first robot. You need to get it to allow you to escape. So don't blast the robot. Go back earlier in the Adventure and do things differently to get other options.

Hello Everyone.
I have been playing 'Wrong Way, Go back' now for a couple of hours. Can someone help me get the maintenance manual? I can get to the ship, but dont know how to fly it, and I think it might be something to do with the parent-bot...
Anyone help?
Steve

@Steve
You're on the right track.
SPOILER
Since you mention the manual you must have either found it or know that you need to. If you have the manual, make sure you read it at the opportune time by clicking USE when the knowledge is required. If you don't think you are encountering such an opportunity, then you might be missing something that would give you 'access' (hint, hint) to such an opportunity. If you haven't found the manual yet, then you need to USE the other ID you found in the nightclub in the right place at the right time.

hey ulysses, just wondering how long do you have to get off the ship in wwgb? cause with the new system of multiple references I died at 45 minutes instead of the 1 hour I remember I had
Ulysses Mon Jul 18 05:09:02 2011
@Gamebooker
You still have one hour to get off. I just did a test run and can confirm if you do everything right you still escape in time. There are a couple of points where the book goes straight to the bad end if you have exausted any posibility to escape; I would guess you are encounting it that way.

@Dark
A few hints on Wrong Way Go Back. You are on the right track so far.
SPOILER
As you have noted, you need power for the electric screwdriver. The battery can be found in the equipment cabinet before you descend to Engineering. Once you open the parent-bot's panel, you will need to be able to reprogram it, so hopefully you have found the programming manual as well.
END SPOILER
Good luck.

Oooh sorry, I'm a fool! I should've just checked responses when i asked a month ago, sinse Ulyses did give me some hints which I've not tried yet, mostly because I've been guide dog training and thus unable to check online stuff as much as I'd like. I'll give wwgb another go.

@Dark:
There is a way to find out which deck the nightclub is on so you don't have to guess. Remember that you start in the nightclub, so you just have to get back to the same deck you were on at the beginning. Once in the nightclub, the items you need (three of them) are always in the same locations.
Dark Tue Nov 8 20:48:52 2011
Hmmm, Ulysses, I've read the opening text quite carefully but can't determine the precise location of the night club, though I have found where the screw driver and the two ids are. The one itme which is giving me major trouble at the second is the programming manual you mentioned, sinse I've no idea where it is at all I'm afraid, so another hint would really be appreciated there.
I'd love to actually get this one finished, I must've tried it hundreds of times. I hope the rest of the series is a litle more forgiving.
Ulysses Wed Nov 9 02:59:40 2011
@Dark:
Since you're tried it hundreds of times, I'll be generous with the following clues:
SPOILER
You find out what level you are on by talking to the computer outside the nightclub. It tells you the deck that you are located on. Once you are in the lift for the second time, you just have to select the same letter. When you find Gary Fishbone's ID, the 'please return to' information gives you a deck, section and room number. When you escape from the lift after fighting the guard you run down a corridor trying all of the doors. This is when you need to 'USE' the ID from your inventory. In Gary Fishbone's cabin you will find the programming manual.

Hi, I have been trying to get through "Wrong way go back" for about a year. I get the screwdriver and battery but can't seem to get to Gary Fishbone's room. When can you get to the elevator? I get the stuff done with the robot (no spoiler eh?) but then can't get to the elevator. Please help. I love these games and can do it with my speech synth unit. I have finished most all the gameson the site but can't finish this one. Please help Walker
C-Star Tue Oct 16 15:20:28 2012
Sorry what!? You're asking how to get to Gary Fishbone's room, but you're saying that you did all the stuff with the robot? You need to get in Gary's room to do all the stuff with the robot. Anyway, to get in Gary's room you have to use his Id immediately after the fight against the soldier and you will find an item you need in there. Just don't search the room further when asked to. Walk in, get the item, walk out. Sorry for the lack of paragraphs, doing this on my phone.
Walker Long Tue Oct 16 15:33:20 2012
Thank you so much. I am sort of slow i guess I never thought of using the I.D. itself. I thought I'dtake the elevator to the room. Duh!
Thanks again.

@ Ulysses:
about 'wrong way go back' in section 42 you have to add some numbers to go to the right section, in the game i use an inputbox, it would be nice if after every try we lose some seconds. It isn't like that in the gamebook, may i add this to the game and - if i may do so - how many seconds would you substract every time?
Pat Fri Oct 26 06:57:12 2012
@ Ulysses:
There are 2 sections where you can enter a number and you lose some time (39 and 57) and 2 sections where you don't lose time (42 and 54), it's the last 2 i want to add 10 secs or so each time, else you just try every location till the computer say's correct. Good idea with the numbers added in the items you find, but indeed it would be better to select some things out of your inventory by just clicking on them in the game. Thanks for the help! :-)

Hey,
I've been playing Wrong Way Go Back thousands of times without getting further: I'm completely stuck after Ive found Gary Fishbone's- and my own ID, a fancy screw driver, and later on a 12V power-something (not sure if I need anything else from that locker, though)..... although, by finding these apparently useful things I'm freaking burning to death, and although I choose to go left in order to get a blaster to shoot the robot and robo-dog, Im dying anyway....
HELP?????!!!!!
Ulysses Sun Dec 23 02:06:12 2012
Hi Nicole.
This may be your problem:
SPOILER
You also need to get the programming manual from Gary's cabin. To enter his cabin, make note of the location of it written on the back of his ID. When you are running from the space pirate, you will reach this location and should USE Gary's ID. After collecting this and all of the items you mention (make sure you get the right voltage power supply by clicking USE on the electric screwdriver when searching the locker), you need to reprogram the parent-bot by USEing the screwdriver to open the panel, and then USEing the programming manual to change the settings.
END SPOILER
Hope that helps.

Can I find a solution somewhere for Wrong way go back? I think I've tried all the possibilities.
