MAGIC CIRCLE HINTS This is a long, complicated game, with most things needing to be done in sequence. It is further complicated by the fact that the game that you download (from the Spectrum archives) begins mid-way through with a score of 25 %. Unfortunately if you play the game from this point, it is not possible to win. So you must QUIT, and start again. There is an oracle to consult if you cannot find an object, but this is not really necessary. However, Gordo, can help out with various hints. You will need to do some SAVEs and RESTOREs to get some additional hints. You may see a horse in a different place than indicated. This will happen if you take a few extra moves. This will also happen with Olga. Just keep looking around until you find who you are looking for. First you need to find the Temple of Tudaw and be told what to do. You will need to find some objects to trade in Aurum for money. The silver and gold nuggets will do for now. Go into Magpie woods and find Boot. This quest you also need to fulfil. When you have money, buy food and a room. You will need to go back to Aurum several times. Always remember to fill your bottle. When you return the staff to Tudaw, use the object you find outside the temple and return to the Purple Mountains. Take everything you can (4 objects). Go SW from the circle of stones and take what you can (three objects). In Aurum, get what the paper says, though you will need to do something else first. There is a boat west of the circle of stones. Map out a route and locate four objects. When you return the second object Tudaw wanted, you are given a third task. When you go there (and you can=t walk there), check out the route. You will need to return to Aurum for more hints. The wand is only good three times, so time your use of it well. Follow Gordo=s advice, before you begin the third task. Don=t be in a hurry to return to normal. Moving in the Castle is straightforward, but two objects (other than the keys) are necessary. When you return to Tudaw with the third task completed, you are given yet another. You are also given a object which you need to use in the Magpie Woods before going to the Purple Mountains. Once you have more money and can get something fixed, follow the route east in the desert that you saw before. In order to find the last item to find for Boot, you will have to tackle the dragon. Use the wand for the third and last time. Then return to where you found the dragon and fulfil Tudaw=s fourth task. Then follow his advice to get home.
