MENAGERIE Stormbringer Software – Ian S. Brown Zenobi Software This is an interesting game, though some puzzles stretch your logic. Your purpose is to avoid arrest by the police, solve the problems created by a deranged mind, and find the Bloodstone Beast of Baal. Ignore the message that they are in room 150 at level 42 because they are not there. You will need to SEARCH some venues to find items. While the objects may seem unnecessary and illogical, you will eventually find out why you need them. There are some red herrings, but they are ingenious. There are various levels you need to explore and some you need to return to. At times, you will be sent to your room to get needed sleep. When that happens, return to where you left off. There are many levels – white, blue, yellow, orange, black, pink, gold, grey, crimson, purple, green, and red. Some you cannot enter, one you need a badge to enter. So push each colour in turn to determine what level you arrive at. EXAMINE SIGN east of the lift. Off-limits are black, gold, grey, green. To enter blue, you need a badge. There is a limit to things you can carry, not the number but the weight. Drop them in the lift, a convenient place. Ignore the rat, east after you get Nigel. Also ignore the encyclopedia. SAY "HELLO" to various aliens after you SCAN ALIEN. When you see, scan and say "hello" to Ikle, note that he is lonely and would like a companion. What would you do for a lonely, snowbound person? When you have the necessary objects (coal, hat, nose, scarf) you can build a snowman. FEED MYKKA with the lump (at the egg). THROW PRISM at the Quarantine Room. DROP CATERPILLAR at the rainbow sand. SQUEEZE BLOODSTONE when you find it. The order you need to get certain necessary itmes in order to explore further is: the hat: SEARCH CORN (don't miss this. If you do, you will have to go back and play a restored game) the badge: EXAMINE BOT in the orange level the commlink: in the blue level the guide: SEARCH MOOR in the red level The remaining items can be obtained in any order: the scarf: SEARCH TARDIS the coal: DROP CATERPILLAR at the rainbow sands the nose: THROW JAVELOIDS where you find them Terri Sheehan 2003-07-28 ***************************************************** Displayed on the Classic Adventures Solution Archive: http://hjem.get2net.dk/gunn/
