Re: investigations

I just spotted an error on the map. The roof can be reached from the neat room and not from Emma's bedroom. I'll correct this on the final map.

Re: investigations

This is a list of all the actions which are related to time. The numbers of the locations refer to the map. Unfortunately it seems there isn't a way to skip time fast. I hope these will help you to get on.

Re: investigations

Terri, at last I found some time to revise my notes on investigations. This is the map as far as I made it, but it isn't finished yet.

Re: The Galleon c64

Alex, did you use the "go to" command anyway? (It works like in some Level 9 games, for example Knight Orc.)

Hi Robert, sorry for the late response, but I've been hiking through Chile for six weeks and I only recently returned. I did use the 'go to' command and as you mention it does work like it ...

Re: Hous of the dead Spectrum

Well, there is a hole at the piano. How do you get down there?
The hole which appears after playing the piano is the opening to the north where you can enter the necromancer’s magic room.

I know what the secret word is, but not where to use it.
The secret word has to be used to destroy the red ...

Re: Hous of the dead Spectrum

So, the scroll... where is it?
Well that’s the one thing I don't know about this game :( . The map I made does contain all the game locations. Being completely stuck I searched the program code. It should be somewhere I guess. Although the program does contain some bugs. For instance to wind/turn ...

Re: Hous of the dead Spectrum

Just found the magic ring, but it appears to be useless.

I discovered you need it to solve the game.

Also I discovered it is possible to end the game without collecting the scroll when you know the magic word which is written on it, but of course without cheating it is impossible to solve the ...

Re: Hous of the dead Spectrum

What to do with the dust? Nor the spell?
I don't know the use of the dust nor the spell. Perhaps they are used to find the scroll somehow. I’ll try if I’ve some more luck tonight with the hint you gave me.

I also can't get past the pikes.
There are two different kind of pikes. At three ...

Re: Hous of the dead Spectrum

Just found the magic ring, but it appears to be useless. Maybe the scroll can be obtained by doing something in the hollow oak? Or maybe you need the magic ring, the magic wand and the magic spell together?

Re: Hous of the dead Spectrum

I've made a map of the game which isn't finished yet, but it can be used if needed by someone(When it is ready I'll upload the final version to the website without the numbers). WARNING: It does contain some spoilers.

House of the dead Spectrum

I've been playing this game on the spectrum for some days now but it appears I'm stuck. I've the following problems:

-Can't find the scroll
-Can't find the magic ring (if it is needed because a lot of objects seem to be useless)
-What to do in the dark room east of the spare bedroom (The torch does ...

Re: legion adventure

At last I had some time to look at this game. I made a map of all 46 locations (I've uploaded it). Where exactly are you stuck ?

Re: leotrope

I may be worth tracking down the author. I was unable to locate the place, Alex, where you said he sold lawnmowers

I may give it a try when I have some time, but my experience is they normally don't answer questions (apart from a few exceptions). We can always give it a try. It would be nice to ...

Could be, but there are no more rooms (at least none with a room description) nor objects inside this part of the game.
