Okay, I'll play along on this one.

Just started - made it into the house and cant find anything to do with the bed other than sleep (which I think you can do most anywhere). Dont know what to do at the pool either. Made a brief stop in the cave where a bear shooed me away. Currently in the clearing ...

I haven't played this game but it is covered in an old adventure game hint book I have. Based on what's in that book the guy in the museum part is pretty far along in the game...

Lets see, have you:
gotten stuff out of drawer
answered telephone
read telegram
turned on TV and changed the channel ...

You are SO right - I do hate mazes. However, once I realized that this maze was better mapped by the "make a mini map for each location with just the exits and where they lead" method rather than trying to make one giant map of the entire maze it didn't take long to work it out.

Now, if I can just ...

Battune City

The locations and corresponding items are random in each game. However, the white card always gives you a hint of which item and person you must deal with next, ie, the white card you start out with might say "Dear Dad, Send Money" = this means you have to find the telegram and then go to the ...

Turn CAPS LOCK on
Pick C
Enter exactly 3 letters for your initials
Pick N for new
Type a short nickname - I used 4 letters

Game apparently has only 1 save slot. I use it just before I'm about to reach the end point of each section.

I am currently in part 3 - a wretched maze that I just spent ...

Total shots in the dark as I haven't played the game, but does the generator have a separate fuel tank? Or perhaps the generator has a fuel cap/flap that needs opening.

Would that it did - primitive game this - alas, no moveable parts... I turns out I just needed to plop the generator in the ...

I tried "Start Generator" --> “The generator sputtered and stopped"
I looked at the generator again - nothing new
Still nothing with filling and putting.

Battune - City - PC

I came across this game on my pc and decided to give it a whirl. This one is apparently impossible to map in the traditional sense as the locations change with every play. However - the items found in those locations and the places where they can be used don't change - they just move around.

I've ...

Murder Mystery

I've tried this one before. Not sure if it's just my copy but it has some quirks, ie, I've climbed the drainpipe and am examining the muddy footstep --- the description says "the mud has dried but it looks quite fresh. It contains a photo of a hill" - I'm pretty sure the muudy footprint does not ...

All this talk about a ship, and pirates, and wreckage...I haven't come across anything remotely resembling those things. I'm still wandering about the map with a card, sword, talisman, catapult and oil - having already dropped the jar and located (but left in place) the wax and mouse. Truth be told ...

Whew - I'm back from the wilds of Kentucky... I've made it past the ant and the insects. I back-tracked some and have just arrived at the well with the sword, talisman, card, oil and jar. I've also come across, but shied away from, an eagle, a net/mouse in a strange clearing, some rocks/insects in ...
