Congratulations! what a perseverance to solve this very random game.
Re: third xanadu game
Thanks, terri, Gunness and Alex! (Alex, "perseverance" is a kind way of putting it. )
I heard back from the author, who said this might be the first time anyone's finished the game in the 32 years since it was released!

Ha ha - either that's a major pat on his back for his writing skills, or an indication that the game's difficulty level is through the roof
Btw, if he has any trivia to share about the game, please drop me a line!

Re: third xanadu game
I got stuck looking for the Money..... without the Money I don't think I can get past the troll. Is the location of the Money completely random?
(I mean I need the Money to buy the postcards)

Re: third xanadu game
If I remember correctly, the location of the money is randomised, yes. But I seem to recall it's usually somewhere in the underground area, often in the maze.rsa wrote:I got stuck looking for the Money..... without the Money I don't think I can get past the troll.

Re: third xanadu game
Hello ahope1. I left you a message on stardot but says about the same question as I posted above.
Yes working with your notes and I have played several games and only once did I find the money,,,,and yes it was in the maze......
Do I definitly need the money to buy the postcards to throw at the troll? Or can I throw something else at the troll?

Re: third xanadu game
You definitely do need to throw the postcards at the troll. You can't throw anything else at the troll. (Well, you can, but it won't work! Or, to be more precise, I think you can throw a treasure at the troll, but then you'll lose the points for that treasure.)rsa wrote:Do I definitly need the money to buy the postcards to throw at the troll?

Don't give up on the money! It may be hard to find, but it's definitely there, somewhere..!
Re: third xanadu game
ahahaha - I have found where the money was.... it was the other side of the trolll.... that means I should buy the postcards at the beginning in case the money is on the other side of the bridge......
Unfortunatly the placing of the money is a bit too random for my liking

Re: third xanadu game
Wow! I've never seen that before! That's really unfair! For me, the money was always on the western side of the bridge, BEFORE the troll, so I always had enough cash to buy all the weaponry and the postcards WITHOUT needing to sacrifice a treasure.rsa wrote:ahahaha - I have found where the money was.... it was the other side of the trolll.... that means I should buy the postcards at the beginning in case the money is on the other side of the bridge......

Re: third xanadu game
The long and increasingly tedious saga of Xanadu Adventure continues: it turns out that two different versions of the game were released. More details here:
