Western Adventure (Hungarian c64 game)
Posted: Mon Nov 22, 2021 11:22 pm
Today I decided to play Western Adventure. It looked interesting and had been on the list of games I wanted to play for a long time. The biggest problem was it is written in Hungarian and I don't speak a word of the language
, but I decided to give it a try anyway. I started with making an English map of all the 61 locations. It was not easy to get started because the only thing I could get from the code was a list of objects and the room descriptions. But I found another Hungarian game written by the same author which was written in BASIC and I copied the verb list from that game, translated the verbs and that made it possible to start playing the game
. I did manage to solve the first 20% but then I reached a point where I could not get any further. That didn’t stop me because I just skipped to the next room. I think I've managed to solve 70% of the game, but I have still several problems to solve and there are 4 objects I did not manage to find although I'm quite sure where I should find 2 of them, but first I have to solve another problem.
I know at least a few people on this forum speak Hungarian so if they want to give it a try that would be great. Below is a walkthrough until the point where I encountered the first problem. I am inside an Apache camp. There are arrows and a bow and I have to shoot at some straw puppets, but I tried everything but alas I didn't succeed. Any help would be greatly appreciated. If someone does manage to get further, the next point where I'm stuck is inside the cave where you have to get rid of the native sorcerer.
