Timer/Clock
The game in question is "The Great Escape" based on the WWII movie starring Steve McQueen.
Using Cheat Engine I found the seconds address. Then I used a different technique and finally found minutes. I changed the minutes to 30 and seconds to 59 and locked/froze both values. In other words, 30:59 since the scenerio only allows for a pitiful 4:20.
When I returned to the game the Timer showed 30:59 but with that time and the actual time flickering back-and-forth between them about the speed of a strobe. You could see the 30:59 never changed but unfortunately, the actual time continued to count down, though it was hard to see.
Of course, when the actual time reached zero while the other part of this flickering remained at 30:59, the scenerio ended with the usual "Mission Failed: Time Expired:.
Still looking for help.
