Re: Twig Treasure Challenge


I found an inscription:

)e 6u4 305pr 54wr7 t05 RP&* 000=E+

Anyone any idea what it could mean? The binary code was easy, but this one I did not understand.

Yes, I have an idea in fact. It is possibly a key, or a series of keys, for the code on the disk. Parts of the text of the game are ...

Re: Downloads of fixed game images are broken


It's possible that of the people who have supplied fixed games only Dave, Samwise, and myself ever read that thread when it was originally posted.

Indeed it is, as I have uploaded a few but did not know about the issue. I just noticed my first submission had been zipped by the moderators, and ...

Re: The Pawn on the Commodore 128k

If you mean a version that ran exclusively on the C128, no, I don't think that existed. A dedicated 128 version was announced, that's true enough, but it seems to never have been released.

You are on the right track. You need to WEAR RING first, but the right words then are SAY AMEN instead of PRAY.

Re: Spectrum solution errors: Solaris (part 2)

Objects on the map are listed at the SE corner of rooms, not SW corners. You can see that the "Steps" location has the object "rope" by its lower-right corner. The same goes for the rest, so the right location is the one immediately to the left of the one you are trying to reach.

My notes say that ...

Re: (Mostly) AI solution

The idea has some merit, but I'm not surprised output is inconsistent because it's very unlikely that models have been trained on this kind of material (decompiled source to sequenced solution). Theoretically, nothing prevents a model from doing a reasonably good job when the adventure is totally ...

There's no way I'm playing a Softel game

Indeed. This one needs a strong breakfast.

Incidentally, quite a few solutions are incorrect as they are written, but many times it's because of game version differences. Others have typos or skip some obvious steps. I normally write down corrections on ...

Solved / Playing buttons have stopped working

I just clicked on the "I have solved this" button for the game "Masterclass", but the site gave me a blank page and stayed on the URL httpx://solutionarchive.com/solved/id%2C1179/mode%2Ctrue/ (protocol changed to HTTPX so the forum doesn't automatically format it as a URL). Same with the "I'm ...

Re: Username showing as Anonymous after submission

If it helps, when it happened to me I had just logged in from the website and was using cookies (my usage of the site should be consistent with this pattern, I think). What I find baffling is why this would happen for some users but not for others.

Re: Username showing as Anonymous after submission

The comment is the one on https://solutionarchive.com/game/id%2C2 ... C+The.html
There's a map submitted for that same game, but I can't access the link because it's not in my submission's queue any longer (I guess it got added to the Anonymous queue).

Username showing as Anonymous after submission

What it says on the tin: just noticed it today after submitting a map. My username was displayed correctly on the "Logged in as Exemptus" box, but the submission and comment are displayed as Anonymous. Maybe a recent change has broken something?

Re: Perry Mason: The Case of the Mandarin Murder


Then, there is the blood in one place and the weird absence of blood in another which the game deftly describes. Not sure yet what it means, but I am quite sure that it will become important. Otherwise, it wouldn't be mentioned so prominently.


You're on the right track, but admittedly, this is ...
