Does the bomb actually ever go off? The first time it got down to the low numbers, it gave a horrid speech (I never wanted to blow up) and restarted.

Just try... hehehe....

Be sure yoy fasten your seat belt on the ride home, young man!

And, take those M&M's out of your mouth!!

It seems we have two Lukes.

And they're um...fastened in. I'll just have to eat them.

So should I wait again and again, like a BarBot in a loop, for the bomb to finally go off?

There are two endings to the game.
Bomb on - bomb off.

Don't worry about it until you get home.

yep... that IS rather funny... to listen to the bomb in that very last state.
Lucas, please give it a try.
You'll be surprised then.. (Hehehe... again)

Well, I've seen the ending. I'm glad to hear that the parrot got his just desserts.

One more question- what's that computer-type thing to the left of the steering wheel?

It's purpose was never made clear in the game.

One theory is that it is the screen you view DA talking about fishing after you return home. Another is that it is the captain's personal computer, and was never written into the plot.

What do you think? You can be as right as any one else.

Those two are the most likely.

Or maybe there's a hidden patch you can download that will make it so that you can use it to play as Titania and go inside the ship and see it from the outside and kill the parrot and explore all sorts of areas from space and make additions to the ship and change areas and kill the parrot and fix everything and explore more rooms and kill the parrot and talk to the Rowbots and visit the unvisitable areas and visit planets and kill the parrot...

that sounds like an excellent plot line for a whole Starship Titanic sequel!
Though killing the parrot raised a smile here I think it would go against the mainly pacifist nature of the game -- still a good idea though!

"mainly pacifist nature of the game "

Did you forget the killed people, Leovinus and Brobostigon?
Did you forget the starlings.. all shreddered to liquid.
Also the bots were damaged.. think of MaîtreD.
The Bomb... the explosions.. all..

and last.. have you ever heard of a cannibalic parrot like this...huh?

and very last: read this: http://members.tripod.com/sstWordSmith2/sst/sst-tour/tour-09.htm ..about small boys.. g


don't ya tell me, it is not the brutal, bleeding game or we don't talk about the same.

Ewww.. Ed

OK .. mebbe I was having a 'blonde' moment a couple of days back
I do remember actually having to post that rather rapidly due to a distraction here ... and before anyone suggests it, it had no connection with food, OK ?!?



btw I don't ever remember reading that about the small boys! As Alpo says .. Eeww!

I'm sorry. I found that funny...

I defused the smartass bomb so I guess that I'm getting the bomb-off ending.
Maybe in the sequel the parrot could choke to death on pistachio nuts while talking with its mouth full?

About the "cannibalistic" parrot. Well, that would be a parrot eating other parrots, wouldn't it? I don't think eating chicken would make it any more cannibalistic than humans eating other mammals, which we routinely do. Unless you're vegetarian, of course.

With regards to the starlings. It is possible to complete the game without sacrificing the starlings. Remember that when you give the starling puree to the Barbot, it asks "what's this?", and you have to answer "starling puree." Turns out that the whole drunken effect is psychosomatic. It is possible to give the Barbot any other kind of puree and just tell the Barbot that it's starling puree, and it will have the same effect.

As for Brobostigon and Scraliontis. A crooked project manager and accountant. Who'll miss them?

I don't think it is related to Leovinus' final message. They don't look the same, and Leovinus' message seems to be delivered on the ground, not inside the ship.

I suspect that it's something the game designers never got around to do anything with. I trawled the discs for movie files at some point, and I found a spinning wireframe image of the Starship Titanic. It doesn't appear to be used anywhere in the game, but I imagine that it might have fit that mysterious screen.
