Re: Deja Vu Graham Nelson


From the comments I've read it doesn't sound like even Graham Nelson thinks Deja Vu is worth playing! :) Strictly a tech demo.


Yes I've read that too, but nevertheless I have been playing it several times trying to beat it :) .


So if Deja Vu is difficult it shouldn't scare you away from the ...

Re: Catacombs/Cornucopia

I've uploaded my map. It isn't finished 100% because I don't know in which location you should obtain the manure, the purple cube (I guess that is the object the gardener gives you) and the second furry ball.

Will try to solve the above mentioned two problems (spiderweb and plug), but I'm out of ...

Re: Catacombs/Cornucopia

243 points now. Aside from the gardener and manure problem (which is also connected to the purple sphere and the furry ball I think) there are two more problems I need to solve:

-How to get rid of the web. I think you need the flamethrower, but it's too hot and melts.
-How to remove the plug at the ...

Re: Catacombs/Cornucopia

I now know how to get 223 out of 250 points, but for some reason my Dosbox stopped working properly this morning :( Can't load or save states anymore. No idea what went wrong.

Re: Catacombs/Cornucopia


I know that these guys have fixed some of the issues with one of the other Classic Quests, so perhaps they'll be able to hack and fix this one when we let them know what exactly seems to be bugged.


That would be great. If you look at the code there should be a figure on horseback, but I did not ...

Re: Catacombs/Cornucopia


Dorothy did pass on this note, from her collection about the original game...
"There is a bug, In the Catacombs a Horse Rider should appear and the horse drops a whoopsie. This does not happen in the Pc VERSION. You need the whoopsie to use a manure on the garden and the gardener gives you an ...

Re: Catacombs/Cornucopia

I do know how to get past the geyser. One of the problems on which the person on the website where you can get the game is stuck.

Re: Catacombs/Cornucopia

Interesting two almost identical mazes, but they are different. To enter the second maze you have to enter it from another side, but it looks like you are entering the same maze, only this one has an extra exit, but doesn't have 2 objects that you will find in the other maze. The exits are in the ...

Re: Catacombs/Cornucopia

100 rooms, 275 verbs and 102 objects (including the ones you can't carry). I don't know if I will be able to finish it :), but I'll try to make a map.

Deja Vu Graham Nelson

Did anyone ever manage to finish Deja Vu from Graham Nelson? I'm clearing out my old notes and I tried to play it once but only managed to get 18 out of 50 points.
Maybe it's because I've never played the Infocom adventures, but I was only able to solve a few puzzles.
