Hello gamers,
I'm looking for a table of all available IQ points. It is said that
there are 1000 points available, but I have only 968. When I look into
the iq-points file there are only 4 positions left:

Pos presumable action
0x4b beating Hans (Crete caves, usually killed by stone slab)
0x53 beating Arnold (Crete caves, usually killed by stalactite)
0x6a wits mode, somewhere between the submarine and Crete?
0x8e beating Fritz (Atlantis, usually killed by sentry statue)

Can anyone help me with these?

Best wishes, Jan

Sounds like you are asking in the wrong group. If it has something called
"IQ points", it doesn't sound much like an adventure game.

Well you beat this guy
http://the-spoiler.com/ADVENTURE/Lucas.Arts/atlantis.1.html
He has 938 points and seems to think he has the current high score.

But someone in this thread says he's missing only 17 points and he thinks
they're from not beating "Arnold (the huge Nazi in the Labyrinth) or the
prison guard (in Atlantis)."

Gee, it does to me. What other genre would you think of when you hear
"IQ points" mentioned? It reminds me of the scores in the old text
adventures.

I found these two links too; but there seems to be no complete list of
the IQ points. In the wikipedia article on Indy IV someone in the
discussion says that the has beaten Arnold, and in a personal
communication he answered that he got 10 IQ points for that. Since Indy
IV saves the table of IQ points in a separate file it should be easy to
compare them, but does anyone (with nearly 1000 points) keep this file?

Best wishes Jan

Oops. I have played that game, but I don't remember anything about IQ
points. Probably because I never paid any attention to scoring
mechanisms.
