Sadim Castle by MP software for the Beeb

#1 Post by leenew » Mon Nov 24, 2014 11:52 pm

Hi there,
After reading the "Crown of Mardan" thread, also by MP software, which turned out to be unwinnable until a new version was eventually found, I am having trouble with MP's other adventure, "Sadim Castle."
I am playing it on Beebem 4.14 with the UEF from Stairway to Hell.
However, with only a few dozen turns played, I (and others), get the "blood curdling howl", and the game ends with me dying shortly after.
There seems to be no way of predicting how many turns this takes to happen, but it is nowhere near enough to finish the game.
What configuration of hardware and software were used to produce your solution?
I hope this does not take 7 years to solve as Crown of Mardan did :lol:

Lee.

Hello, and welcome to the forum.

Jacob is the man to ask, though I see from the main site that he will first have to refresh his memory.

Hi,
Yes I am sure he has played one or two games in his time!
I have now played the UEF on ElectrEm and I have played it on BeebEm in BBC B mode, B+ and master mode. Also I have played it on a real beeb with a hacked to disc version. ALL are completely unwinnable as there just isn't enough moves available!

Hi Lee,
I'm working on it (ie. trying to find the time to boot up the game) ;)

Hi Gunness,
I have posted a comment about this on the game page.
It was the walkthrough that had one crucial fact missing.
When the mists start swirling and the blood curdling howls can be heard you must **SPOILER BELOW**












READ BIBLE to dissipate the mists :D
