Solved / Playing buttons have stopped working

I just clicked on the "I have solved this" button for the game "Masterclass", but the site gave me a blank page and stayed on the URL httpx://solutionarchive.com/solved/id%2C1179/mode%2Ctrue/ (protocol changed to HTTPX so the forum doesn't automatically format it as a URL). Same with the "I'm ...

Re: Username showing as Anonymous after submission

If it helps, when it happened to me I had just logged in from the website and was using cookies (my usage of the site should be consistent with this pattern, I think). What I find baffling is why this would happen for some users but not for others.

It's an error, that was me too. Thanks all for fixing the snag, by the way.

Re: Username showing as Anonymous after submission

The comment is the one on https://solutionarchive.com/game/id%2C2 ... C+The.html
There's a map submitted for that same game, but I can't access the link because it's not in my submission's queue any longer (I guess it got added to the Anonymous queue).

Username showing as Anonymous after submission

What it says on the tin: just noticed it today after submitting a map. My username was displayed correctly on the "Logged in as Exemptus" box, but the submission and comment are displayed as Anonymous. Maybe a recent change has broken something?

Re: Perry Mason: The Case of the Mandarin Murder


Then, there is the blood in one place and the weird absence of blood in another which the game deftly describes. Not sure yet what it means, but I am quite sure that it will become important. Otherwise, it wouldn't be mentioned so prominently.


You're on the right track, but admittedly, this is ...

Re: Perry Mason: The Case of the Mandarin Murder


Oh, are you saying I can go back to the apartment after having been thrown out? I'll play to the inevitable failure first, then I'll give this a try. Thanks!


No; I'm saying that you can avoid being thrown out for longer, if you're careful. It's worth experimenting a little and see what things ...

Re: Quest [Roger Chaffee]

It is clearly based on the same source material. The Tansoft version changes some things and adds others, so it should have a separate entry, but the game itself is recognisable. It's more a "derived port with additions" than a port.

Re: Perry Mason: The Case of the Mandarin Murder

I played the PC version, but I have no reason to think the C64 is any different. Do investigate the apartment thoroughly and examine everything. If you miss things there, then some key questions won't be available in court. You will find some interesting bits but it's up to you to decide which are ...

Re: Authoring System Not Currently Showing

Thanks for the fix. I was beginning to get really concerned, as there seems to be no other site that captures the exact same kind of data that CASA does. Long may it yet live.

Re: Title and in game music in text adventures

The Heroes of Karn on C64, of course, but you already knew that. Also Eric the Unready qualifies, despite being a hybrid. We have also Sorcery! (all four parts), the 1986 Dracula by CRL, Tass Times in Tonetown , CYPHER , Leadlight Gamma , and Vlad the Impaler at least. The oldest example I can ...

Re: Help needed - Heroes of Karn C64


To add further confusion i've completed the game on the Commodore 64, taken all the Heroes and treasures back but no ending screen. How very strange.

Just in case someone else is looking for this same issue: the ending for the game is triggered once we return to the cottage with all heroes and ...
