Dogboy Part 1

Before I go on too much further with this game, can anyone tell me if I need the basket from the snakery BEFORE I manage to get outside the south gate?

re: wolf hound - do you have the sausages from the shop?
re: wasps - do you have the mask from the living room and the bottle from the pub customer?
re: reeds - you can crash through them if your boat is heavy enough...

I have about 36 hours before my prolonged vacation ends, and my 80+ hour a week job begins again <sigh>...I'll give this one a quick go since I'm solidly stuck on Zig and Dragon.

I remember thoroughly enjoying Mindwheel as well. I don't recall playing the others you mentioned though. Didn't these games come with some sort of book as well? I wonder if they be difficult to play today without the book? Underdogs seems to have liked Breakers very much - it has a higher rating ...

Never mind any of my questions. I just noticed that Jacob posted the new url for Dorothy Irene's site, which includes the solution to this game as well as a zillion others.

Hmmm, so Grabbed by the Ghoulies, Goldwood & Prisoner are already solved - that leaves us with Ziggarat yes?

re: the maze. Is there anything else to do there other than move the rubble (revealing a steep passage I can't use)?

Now where are the matches? If someone tells me they were to be found 35 locations ago in some unmentioned object in some underdescribed location I think I might just cry :(

Ah, thanks for the description - I had the wrong Prisoner game in mind. I'll give this one a go.

Amby will catch up soon.

Hmm, not sure about that :).

Doreen, thanks for the info about the windmill. I had completely overlooked the exit north from the pitted track.

Alas, having now explored the windmill and collected the seeds, I had planned to go plant them at the high walled garden but ...

After all the effort we have put into this one I would love to see this game fixed (if that's what is required), but if it's not fixable, and we are sure it is otherwise not solveable, then I'd be happy to delete it.

Oh dear, I must be missing something very obvious as I have not come close to a boar, a windmill, a pony, a sluice, a grave, some rubble, etc. I did however, find the walled garden (but since I have no seeds didn't do me much good).

Can someone give me a hint about what I missed?

Thanks.

QN: Can we clarify - the road entrance - that's the one where you start out outside the Ziggarat yes? If so, you probably need to deal with the force screen next. It can be disabled using the same technique you used to enter the Zig in the first place...
