Re: Lost in the desert

There must be something wrong with the program; when I'm in the cell with the boy, I can't get him though I have poured the water - when night falls and day breaks and I go N to the corridor with the dead guard and I want to go back to the cell, the door is locked again! I can unlock it and go S ...

Re: Lost in the desert

It all sounds easy and logical: POURing the WATER sets flag 28 to 4, night is falling, than the CLAM BOY process triggers and set flag 28 to 5, this should allow to GET BOY - but the CLAM BOY process is not triggered!!! I've uploaded a short RZX file to demonstrate the problem (it's in my queued ...

Re: Recovered Adventures

I've just uploaded a solution for the fixed post-playtest version (ROCK-B), so my fixed pre-playtest version and the associated solution are not needed anymore.

Re: Recovered Adventures

I'm afraid the post-playtest version still contains bugs, because at the beginning it's not possible to pick up the large key when the officer has dropped it and left the room. The question "Please state which?" cannot be answered appropriately.

Re: Lost in the desert

Thanks for your reply, but the problem is: CLAM BOY is not a valid command, it's only the name of the process!

Lost in the desert

Hi, I've just solved this adventure from The Guild, but I could achieve only 80%. The missing points are given for rescuing the boy in the cell, but I didn't manage that because it's not possible to get the boy (after pouring water under the floor plate before night falls). It looks like the CLAM ...

Re: Recovered Adventures


A previously unknown game for the Spectrum...

The Rock by Les Mitchell
https://planetasinclair.blogspot.com/2022/05/the-rock-mia.html

I think this is a pre-playtest version. I would think a final version of the game would've ironed out a few issues right at the start that were a little unfair ...

Re: Exiled

Hi,
I've uploaded the instructions and a map for this adventure. The locations marked with question marks are still unknown to me, because traps have to be disarmed and I couldn't find the helm in order to do this. I still hope someone to get interested in this game!

Exiled

I'm looking for someone who has tried to play EXILED. I've mapped almost the whole game, but now I can't go any further because I don't know where to find the helm which is necessary to disarm most of the traps. In addition to that, I'm not able to kill Flame and Torrog (in order to get the stone ...

Re: Colossal Cave Adventure (Anubis Software)

I also suspected it was a bug, but I'm not a programmer. Is it possible to fix the game?
By the way, there's another problem concerning the Spelunker's Gazette: This should be found in the anteroom (loc. 38) and should be dropped at Witts End (loc. 39), which scores 10 points, but the Gazette is ...

Colossal Cave Adventure (Anubis Software)

Hi,
I've tried to solve another Colossal Cave Adventure (the one from Ross Harris, Anubis Software, 1985 - I wonder why this is not in the 'Related' list), but there is a problem with the PLOVER command in Room Y2 (loc. 26) and in the Small chamber with the emerald (loc. 58); it doesn't work at all ...

I've already tried this, but the girl dies BEFORE I can reach the next decontamination unit!
