Thank you for this video! One of my most favourite games.. I played it in about 7 or 8 years, and the most scary thing back then was when I heared Amanda crying after some time in house. I "finished" this game for about 6 times, but never constructed a pistol - either missed one piece, or just didn't match pieces. And I didn't know that there is blueprints of it somewhere. I MUST replay this game!
@DragDenDFO This game is so open that there are dozens of ways to progress through it as well as several ways to complete it. I don't remember where the diagram of the weapon is, but the various pieces of the weapon can be hard to find.
I played this game, I couldnt solve it without the walkthrough... I was 9 and didnt get traumatized xD. You know this game was suitable for windows 3.1 (that's why I bought it, it was 40 bucks and they were sooooo well spent) :)
I played this game all the time with my dad! We struggled through it together. We got so far into it, but we couldn't find one thing. That one crucial item to making the gun to put the being in the jar. And that thing was the diamond. Does anyone know where the diamond was in this game?
@NumOneJoeJonasLuver I looked at a few walkthroughs for the game and couldn't find the word "diamond" in any of them, but I'm assuming that you're talking about the small gem-shaped piece. That piece is inside the puzzle box in the lighthouse.
@Akril Ah so the gem is the thing used in the gun to capture the dark being? My dad and I always thought it was a diamond we were supposed to find to use the gun. We had everything except for the diamond or as you say the gem. Huh. I wonder. That's so weird. I wonder if we always had the gem with us the whole time and didn't realize that's what we were supposed to use for the gun. Thank you so much. (we won't be able to play the game anymore, but it helps to now know lol!)
This gem of a game got me into fascinations with lighthouses. I have a lighthouse light up in my room and I'm considering buying a huge lighthouse portrait. That's how amazing this game is.
Lighthouse: The Dark Being is underappreciated and undervalued. Critics have attacked its, "vague and obscure puzzles," but for players who want challenging puzzles, Lighthouse is outstanding! Its early, unpatched version was a virtual click fest and that's why Lighthouse received so much negative press; too bad, because Lighthouse is far better than its reviews.
@babyshroom16 same. im 20 now but when i played it about 11/12 years ago with my dad i was so scared by the game that i couldnt get past more than the 1st 30 minutes as i was to scared to continue investigating the game. it was absolutely terrifying! *sob*

@babyshroom16 High-octane nightmare fuel. That stupid thing haunted my dreams for a long, long time. (seeing that movie Signs just made it worse...lol!) The creator just managed to find the perfect amount of "creepy" to make something truly terrifying, intended or not. (I think he was supposed to be kindof comical? Toward the end at least.) I think this game is a large reason why I even had nightmares at all. :| I used to have ones about him invading other games.like seeing him in the Sims. :P
@ArcangelZero7 I know! The alien from Signs looks almost just like him! Except without all the tattoos. I'm afraid he's gonna come into my room while I'm sleeping and hit me over the head with that key thing like he did in the game! :O lol
When I was little my brothers used to play this and I would watch . It scared me lots. Very lots. Most of all the part where the other world man steals the baby in the dark room. Man I couldn't get to sleep some nights. Haunted me. XD
96, sheesh... old enough. I remember playing it as a kid but I got frustrated and gave up on the first map. I went back to it a year later and glad I did. Such a good game.
@grayfox665 when you are installing the file for the game, right click on the file and select properties then select compatibility mode and then select windows 95 or 98 and check all the colours etc. 256 or something like that. run as administrator and install it.
i remember when i also was like 5-7 years old, my father was playing this on the comp it was pretty cool, when he was gone :D i tried the game. I heard the baby crying and stuff then got hit ,, jeez !
This is a fun game-if you are into the kind of game that requires thought instead of action. There is no actual fighting in the game, its more about just solving riddles through clues to help you throughout the game. I enjoyed it.
This is an awesome game. I played it when I was like 12, was scary as hell and had an intriguing touch on it. The score is very well composed and fits the game perfectly, I disliked the last half of the game, mainly the Dark Being's lair, but exploring the lighthouse in the beginning of the game makes up for it ten times over.
I only wish they made games like they used to. If you can spot this babe, BUY IT, and enjoy it.
Thankfully I still have a Windows 98 computer and was able to play this game again. I gotta say, I've never seen harder puzzles in a game. I had to find walkthroughs just to finish it. Still, the the game is awesome. The story is well written and the game is atmospheric to the point where you have to change pants after playing. I wish companies still made games like this.
The launcher is sier. And you must mount the optical disk drive or the game won't work. Mount D D:\ -t cdrom (ENTER) Mount C C:\Game directory (ENTER) C: (ENTER) sier (ENTER)
I'm refering to DOS box. Some people don't know how to use a command prompt because they grew up in a world in which Windows enters all of the commands for them when they click on Icons. I figure someone may find it useful. The DOS launch isn't Light, it's sier. Many people never figure that out.
Just a side note: to get ligtWin to work on xp: Replace the SIERW5 executable in the lightwin directory with the SIERW executable on the cd. (I dont know if this replacement file exists on the origional cd, since I have the re-release edition of the game for sierra classics. Still worth a try though ;))
This was one of my favourite games. I cried so much when my cd broke :(. But hurray, i recently aquired a new cd, yay :). I'll have a look at uploading some walkthrough videos of my own for the 'hard' puzzles.
However, I've never ben able to do the safe puzzle in the game (perhaps it's because I don't own a safe and therefor don't know how to use one?).
Anyway, can someone please upload a video of the safe solution, i'll never be complete without it :(
A video of the safe solution probably wouldn't be of much help, since the solution varies from game to game (I think). You have to turn the dial right (clockwise) a couple of times, stop it at the first number, then turn it left (counter-clockwise) to the second number, then right to the last number. A lot of the text walkthroughs for the game discuss this in more detail (Note: You don't have to hold the mouse button down as you're turning the dial - something I didn't realise until much later).
Omg! I was so scared when I was something about 5yrs old and my big bro' played this game :S I almost cried everytime he played it. But now I would like to play it but it wont work on our new computer only on the very old1 and we dotn have it anymore :(((
I loved this game. I liked it more than Myst. But then riven came out and i had a new game to drive me more nuts than this one ever could...but this one i was never able to beat. and Riven I did beat.
I used DOSbox's video capture utility to record the in-game "footage", but I used VDMplayer and SnagIt to capture the full-screen movie that plays afterwards, since it was too resource-demanding to be captured with DOSbox (the video and sound would skip).
God I loved this game, I'm so glad to see videos of it on Youtube. Somehow my brother and I managed to beat it without a FAQ when we were 10 and 14. I'm convinced this means we're geniuses or the ultimate team.
i know you must get that crane from in the ship not the place where the skull is then goo too the skull acent and move left you will see a save move a pice of wood there and then left again then place the crane on the hole then open the safe
i almost pissed myself when i saw this....omg too funny me and my family have so many jokes from this game....even tho we had to cheat through most of it.....it was really hard!
but PLZ post up the BIRD MAN! and the robot chick who says "LOOK TO THE SKY THE VOLCANO IS BURNING....WHO IS THIS CREATURE WHO SELLIES THE WATERS" hehehe....but PLZ THE BIRD MAN AND THE DARK BEING!!
Yaaay, great game, thanks for uploading. The begining just totally sucks you in. I never got past that damn undergound train part. Think i may of encountered a bug since I was using a guide pretty extensively at that point, poor kid. Maybe you could up the ending? :)
All the good endings are mostly long pieces of dialogue. The Dark Being's motivation is never really explained though. Apparently he's just plain evil.
Great game!!
