DODO AND DAMN
R. C. L. Software
Spectrum 48
This is a sequel to Dildo and the Dark Lord. I think that the authors
received some negative feedback about the name Dildo, so it's been changed
to Dodo. In this game, despite the title, Damn has absolutely no role to
play. The game, like its prequel, suffers from illogical puzzles (though
some are good), some misnaming of objects, and the fact that you often
need to die before you know what to do. Your objective is to kill Twit and
retrieve the ring.
Hints:
All objects are necessary. You can carry only a limited amount though it
is more generous than many other games.
You need to fix Muggins' computer to get him to follow you. The blanket is
helpful but not in the state it's in.
The yak carpet is important. You need to figure out a way to lift the
dresser to get it. Something to put into the ceiling and another object to
move the dresser.
There is one chance element – when you fire the catapult. SAVE and RESTORE
until it works.
A strong English liquid will help you past the nettles.
Wearing something stiff and hard will get you past the arrows.
You need to make the tyres smaller before you can use them.
You need electrical help to recharge the battery (money is needed).
The rope is needed more than once.
You need something strong, gooey and sticky to stop the walls from moving.
You can get rid of the lurker and the hornets with one sweet thing.
Muggins will help you twice – at the spike location and with the orcs.
Spikes and a hole in the floor (not in the same place) will help after you
shout at the guard.
You need protection from the dripping water – something that will stop the
water reaching you.
If, after your hide in the car, you find yourself in a wrong location,
return to a previously saved position and ensure that something is changed
to alter the destination.
Listen to what people are saying at the inn. Make sure you have money.
At the party you hear a term – this is helpful when it comes to the use of
the bathroom.
A paving stone can help with a boot problem.
