SoftSide Adventure of the Month #8 Windsloe Mansion By David Steenson Published by SoftSide Publications, January 1982 For Atari 400/800/XL/XE (same or very similar for Apple II and TRS-80) Solution by Garry Francis ---------------------------------------- This is a minimal solution. You'll need to LOOK at lots of things for this solution to make sense. The monster confrontation sequences are rather harsh. For 60% of them, you have only one move to dispatch the monster, otherwise you get killed yourself, even if you accidentally press RETURN after the annoying buzz, buzz, buzz. When this happens in the Atari version, press BREAK, then type B(I7)=0:GOTO 830 in direct mode. This allows you to recover the game without starting again. Scores are shown in parentheses as +A=B, where A is points earned and B is cumulative points earned, but you can't see the score until the game is finished.
