Welcome to Diamondback, Stranger! Dust: A Tale of the Wired West (1995) was not an open game universe, but it was one of the few adventure games of its day that was not strictly linear. In linear adventures, players must perform actions and solve puzzles in a specific order. Dust, on the other hand, provided multiple paths to resolving its many quests and problems. And how you interacted with the characters of Dust could alter the game play. This 25th anniversary re-release of Dust: A Tale of the Wired West--The Official Strategy Guide includes everything you need to master the game: ➪ Both the game and book chapters are divided into days (and parts of days). For each day, you are told the tasks you need to complete to progress to the next day. ➪ Locations of key items, as well as how and where they can be used, are revealed. ➪ Solutions are provided for every puzzle and predicament. ➪ Appendices show the complete cast of characters, as well as the text of every book and document. In addition, an item inventory tells you where every item can be found, as well as how and where it can be used. Whether you are a memorabilia collector, feeling nostalgic, or want to finally beat Dust (in as many ways as possible), Dust: A Tale of the Wired West--The Official Strategy Guide is exactly what you need!
