These are two walkthroughs to the 1997 game “I-0” Other solutions also exist, but all locations are visited between these two.

Warning: Spoilers follow (scroll down to see them)

Solution #1

>open purse

>get spray To protect yourself

>unbuckle belt

>get out Tracy is now in the hot desert

>hitchhike There way be a chance the guy doesn’t immediately show up. If so, try multiple times

>yes Typing “Say yes” here will crash some interpreters

>wait Do this multiple times until he asks you your age; I entered 17 but the age doesn’t affect Jack’s actions

>wait Wait some more until Jack drives off the highway and parks his car in the desert

>spray jack

>open glovebox

>get ticket

>get out

>n

>n

>wait Otherwise, the snake will bite you

>n

>e

>w Tracy should now be in the Taco Junta parking lot

>put ticket on truck This puts Jack’s parking tickets on the truck’s windshield

>get in bed

>wait Wait until the truck’s owner returns and drives next to your home. If the tickets aren’t on the windshield, she will kick you out of her truck; if so, just get in the bed of a truck in the Taco Junta drive-through lane

>open door

>open present

>read message

 

Solution #2

>examine stereo

>get tape

>unbuckle belt

>get out

>go under car

>wait So the scorpion does not bite you

>get up

>look both ways So a car does not plow in to you when you cross the highway

>n

>wait Wait multiple times; eventually you hear a siren and a cop will pull over a black Chevy

>wait The cop will eventually write up his ticket and be able to talk to you

>patrolman, help He radios for a tow truck

>look both ways

>s

>wait Eventually a tow truck shows up

>enter truck

>wait The driver hooks up you car and then drives you to the shop. He is friendly and talks to you. No matter what you say, he eventually takes your car to a shop and drops you off there

 

Solver’s note: The auto repair shop is probably the weakest part of I-0. Short of hitch hiking, there is only one way to solve the puzzle, which involves ignoring a bunch of red herrings which should have been more fully implemented (I would have made it possible for the shop owner to, if asked correctly, call up and tell the tow truck driver to take you to the gas station), using an unmarked compass direction to get behind the shop, and then figuring exactly which single action has the tow truck driver let you take a ride again.

 

>open front door

>n

>sw

>wait The tow truck driver will eventually return from gassing up his truck

>look It may be necessary to do this to trigger his arrival

>cry

>yes “say yes” might crash the game; the tow truck driver takes you elsewhere

 

Solver’s note: You may wish to figure out the gas station puzzle yourself. It has multiple solutions and is a lot less obtuse than the auto repair shop puzzle

 

>n Might be a good idea to look both ways first

>give josh tape

>josh, give me soda It is also possible to have Josh leave the soda here by spraying him with the pepper spray or by having sex with him

>examine soda

>peel off label

>i

>s Again, possibly a good idea to look both ways first

>wait Eventually, a bus will arrive

>give driver label You go home on the bus

>open door

>open present

>read message
