1789 by Infogrames C64/Thomson

#1 Post by Alex » Thu Jan 23, 2014 4:19 pm

I've started to play this French game by Infogrames, but unfortunately I can't get any further. I've made a map of the locations I've visited so far. Any French speaking person who has played this before or who wants to give it a try? I'm stuck at the point where I drive away with a coach. I'm killed by the peasants because I've a lot of treasures with me. I need to find a bag (sacoche) to hide them, but I can't find it anywhere.

I also found an object in one of the two towers which I forgot to mention on the map. Also once you've entered the Tuileries Palace (the location of the cour central), you can't go back. There are a lot of ways to be killed so you have to save a lot.

I finally managed to escape to the palace of Versailles. I've updated the map above to the point where I'm now. I'm on top of some stairs, I have to climb it down to leave the palace. Unfortunately when I do this I fall and some "nice person" helps me up the stairs again. It seems I first have to do something else before I'm allowed to go down.

Ok. after many hours I learned I had to tie my shoelaces before going down the stairs :) . I now almost finished the game but it seems to be buggy at the end.

It appears the c64 version can't be solved correctly. Although you have all the treasures the game tells you have forgotten a few.

I started to play the Thomson version and noticed it is different from the c64 version. Some puzzles are different and the map is also different. I've uploaded a map for both versions and a walkthrough for the Thomson version.

I'll give the c64 version another try to see if it can be solved.

Actually I did forget one. The gold coin also is a treasure and should not be given to the begger.

Alas this doesn't solve the problem. You can solve the game (I've uploaded a walkthrough for the c64 version), but when the ending screens should appear the game crashes. I've explained this in the walkthrough.

Pity, because this the best Infogrames adventure I've played.
