This is one of Preter Killworth's games. It says it's for children - ha!
It's full of mathematical-type puzzles - quite challenging, some of them.

Anyway I am stuck (past the middle) in the "three-dimensional cube" rock room where E/W changes the tecture, N/S changes the colour and U/D changes the size.

Any hints about how to proceed with this puzzle?

Where can this game be found and what format is it?

Nice to see you back.

It's a Spectrum game, though to my knowledge Peter never wrote for this machine. It's available at WOS.

Hi, Terri,

'Giant Killer' isn't exactly my cup of tea (far too many mazes for me), but I'll attempt to struggle through to the cube maze. Do you have the route through the thread maze, please?

I'm hoping you mean the "toaster" maze.

SE, N, E, N, E, S, E, S, S, W, N, W, S, W, N, E, N, E, S -

this allowed for 19 moves - I think if you go in another direction first, the number of moves may be different.

Yup, lots of mazes.

Sorry, Terri,

This is one of those adventures which drives me up the wall. Life's too short for this one.

All the best,

Geoff
