Did you try just DIG or DIG HOLE ? DIG HOLE being the only combination of the verb DIG and a noun which gives a different response than "I don't understand".

If you type DIG HOLE in the kitchen garden you find the potatoes.

Re: The Castle of Cire-Nampahc

3. A packet of snake poison

This is obviously needed so that you don't get bitten by the snakes when you try to get the jewelled sword in the room below the bend in the passage (one of three rooms with a corrupted room description).
Any help would be much appreciated.

I tested it and yes you can ...

Re: The Castle of Cire-Nampahc

I don't have time to play the entire game, so I just hacked the game to see if I can help you. I put the tarantula in another location and was able to open the trunk. However I did not find a packet of snake poison but I found a platinum ring. You wrote you found all other objects. Did you find this ...

Re: MicroMUD for the C64

I'm still working on a hints file, but I'm trying to include everything and it's taking longer than I expected. There are a few things I can't figure out:

Re: MicroMUD for the C64

It made me so curious, that I will definitely give it a try if I can (maybe later in this month if I have the possibility). Unfortunately, the setup is not so easy: one needs multiple C64 computers (with multiple monitors and cables) to be connected together. (Which already gives an indirect answer ...

Re: MicroMUD for the C64

Find the centre of the graveyard (location 163) and take note of what the voice says - PRISE TOMB.
Thank you, I'll change my map. Until now I only have been walking around very fast in order to map the game. I did solve some puzzles along the way (like throwing the barrel in the mud room) but a ...

Re: MicroMUD for the C64

The map is still not finished, but I've updated it with the objects. Now I can make a list of all the puzzles which I've solved and which I still have to solve. I solved several puzzles, but there are still a lot more to solve.

I can't find the entrance to the tomb room (the room before you enter ...

Inner Sanctum - There's a clue about meditating in three locations, but I'm not sure if it's possible. It might require help from the NPCs.Tomb Room - There's a clue written on the curtain. You have to wait until the statue's eyes are a particular colour.Fossil Room - Blow the conch in the ...

Re: MicroMUD for the C64

I've uploaded the first version of the map because I guess it makes some things I discussed a bit clearer, but as mentioned above I still have to finish it when I find some more spare time.
