quick cd-romantic question

Hey guys.
I'm playing CDRomantic for the first time and I got to Queens hospital, yet i've checked absolutely everything several times and when I call Napoleon I get no answer instead of that bizarre answering message he leaves that points you to Outer Heaven. Anything i'm missing? Is there something different I have to do in this version?
I've retrieved the matches, Benson's record and checked the picture of St Basils plus the Vase in the room...

You'll need to get the card with the Chinese characters and look at the picture of the castle. I believe you'll need to show the card to Harry before calling Napoleon too.

It's the same procedure as the Sega CD version. Have you checked the upper-left corner of the room as well?

aha, it turns out I hadn't talked to Jamie enough, after going through all of her conversation options and trying Napoleon, all was good. Thanks though guys. Just to chime in some opinions of this version:
I've since finished the game and I must say I quite digged Act3 and noticing a lot of the quirky differences as nerdy as that may be

I also enjoyed the PCE PSG music, I wasn't too turned off by it being a 'worse' soundchip than the Megadrives, it just seemed 'different' to me.
I found Elijahs voice acting, despite not being a native speaker, pretty excellent by comparison to his English counterpart, he sounded a lot more genuinely cracked and disturbed, a nice touch that he shared voice actor with Randam (I assume?)
The picture in the church was crazy though, I couldn't see any likeness at all between them to be honest!

Yes, they share the same actor, Kaneto Shiozawa. You can hear the intentional similarity between them. (This is one of the reasons I prefer the Japanese versions of all the games, since Kojima casts the roles and supervises the voice sessions personally). Shiozawa also plays Redwood in Policenauts and the Ninja in MGS1. He died (way too soon) in May 2000, unfortunately.
I also like the music in the PCE version, too.

I thought Random/Elijah had silver blond hair in all versions of Snatcher?
