lamberly mystery
Posted: Fri Oct 30, 2009 1:27 am
Hi out there.
I am trying to play Lamberly Mystery, a Sherlock Holmes adventure for which I can find no solution. It is a 3-part adventure found under Zenobi 48 games on WOS, labelled Mystery 1, 2 and 3.
I have managed to "finish" part 1, save the game (you do this on the train), open part 2, and load the saved game. However, having done what I think I need to do in part 2, I am back on the train, try to save my position, but I cannot load it (in either Part 1 or Part 3). The game instructions say to load part 1 again (rather than part 3, though it may originally not have been written in 3 separate parts), but I can't seem to do either of these loadings.
I am using Spectaculator. But I have tried this with other emulators such as ZX Spectrum emulator and Klive, but can't do this. Part of the problem is that I can't find the ", i.e. quotation symbol, symbol which I need to use with the cab/cart driver. I have instructions on how to save games in the ZX emulator, but they don't work either.
That may not really be the only problem. Even waiting until I am on the train doesn't work. If I recall (though this may be incorrect) I got a different message when I saved from Part 1 to Part 2, than I got when I tried to save in Part 2.
So I have actually several questions:
When (in Part 2), the game says to reload Part 1 and load the saved game, do I load part 1 or Part 3?
Second, how do I actually do that? Either using Spectaculator, or another emulator?
I realize this is a "technical" question rather than a game-playing question, but I would like to finish this game. While it is "crackable", the actually loading/saving glitches are getting in the way.
Some of you folks are savvy in all kinds of things and help would be appreciated. It probably doesn't matter how well/far you have proceeded, so even if you play Part 1 minimally, get to where it tells you to save the game (on the train), leave, find at least one object, and try to get back on the train, you should be able to get back to wherever it is you are supposed to be.
Thanks in advance. Please tell me if technical questions are out of line. If you wish to know my moves, I'd be pleased to share them.
