RING QUEST Uburrg Software Spectrum 128 This is not a logical game, which makes it very frustrating. Thanks to Dave for cracking the code, and allowing all of us (see below) to finish it. Hints: There are many red herrings: the red crystal, the knife, the bucket, the telescope, and the coffee and the minstrel, though you can eat the latter two items.The coffee and the minstrel can give you some health back,if you get hit by the golem or plant. You can be hit 5 times total by either the golem or plant.The coffee and the minstrel remove one hit. You die when you drop the soda in the dish? Make sure you fix both parts of the computer first, then TYPE CLUES, to determine what to do. The droid is necessary. First you need to open it (with a tool for tins cans), then you ask him to fix the computer when you are told to mend the second half. The piece of paper is a hint that the bag of lentils is needed. When you hear the eerie voice saying "come on down" you can SAY CAULDRON, though this appears not to be necessary to do (i.e. it does not get any more points and is irrelevant to the game). Have you tried eating the jelly? If you have, note what happens. Do that in a particular location that requires you to get to the other side of an obstacle. Can't get the coffee machine to work? It will eventually, without your intervention. I don't' think that drinking the coffee is necessary. How to kill the plant? You need to approach it with the weedkiller from another direction. When in the guardroom, EXAMINE WALLS. You will also need to EXAMINE WALLS when you get past the spiders as well. I am not sure how your are supposed to know that action. At times you need to input <verb-noun> only, but at other times you need to input <noun-verb-IN/TO-noun>). How to kill the golem? THROW THE SAP at it. How to kill the trog? Use the longsword. How to kill the dragon? Do you "believe" in dragons? No? say the opposite – use DIS as a prefix. How to kill the elemental? Get rid of the water in the bath. Simple for those of us who have old fashioned bathtubs. How to get past the hippy? GIVE BAG (make sure you have cooked it first). N.B.
