CASA ::

You are on the right track. You need to WEAR RING first, but the right words then are SAY AMEN instead of PRAY.


Thanks. The rest of the solution was okay, except in the white marble room you have to GET SWORD (she forgot to mention this) and, in order to GET BOOK at the end, you have to drop ...

Dorothy Millard's solution to Tourist Trouble (ZX Spectrum) is defective:

At this point, it tells you to go UP, but you cannot go that way:
... EXAMINE RING, U (to ledge) ...

Also the ring's inscription is "Faith can move mountains" (not "Fate..." as ...

I've added a batch of your solutions & maps from the past few years on Tipshop (focussing on ones we didn't already have material for). That's all that I'll personally be doing, so feel free to submit any additional ones in the usual way.


Thank you!
It's literally a case of minimising work, isn ...

Is there any mechanism by which you can correct the error

If I read the map correctly it suggests that you keep going north repeatedly from the life boat to get to the computer. (Not sure why some links between rooms are marked with single or double arrows, and others have no arrow. The map has no key.)
That does not appear to work.
So I will upload part 1 ...

Using this solution for part 2:

GET COMPUTER does not work: there is no computer in the location (and I can't find one nearby: hard to tell though because of lots of identical "bleak wasteland" locations).

Yes, I see, somebody's work is going to be doubled somewhere, whether it's the submitter, or CASA, or the non-CASA site.
Well, tips and maps credited to "Eq" (or similar names, Equinox etc.) on Tipshop are my own. I was going to link you to the updates page:

Then what are we to conclude? Is there a random element? Did I make a typo?

The Tipshop (a Spectrum cheats and solutions site) seems to have some agreement with CASA where they borrow and republish your solutions.

It would be good to make this two-way, because I have reverse-engineered and mapped and solved a bunch of Speccy adventures but those solutions don't ...

Yes, that's exactly the response you are meant to see at that point. You pick up the key later on.

Solutions are presented as an aid for someone playing the game. There is a certain expectation that you might actually be paying attention and can work out little glitches yourself.


I see ...

The solution has BREAK DOOR, but the game refuses: "I am not strong enough."

Yes, got part 3 solved as a result of this. Thanks.

There are two versions of "Protect and Survive", but they are immediately different from the beginning, so it's clear which one the CASA solution referred to.

Nevertheless the solution does not work, at the point where you have to go to the hardware store, as you can't get through the door.
Please ...

This is another game with lots of different versions in ZXDB.

I played the 'standard' version (the one with unadorned filename) using CASA's solutions, and found:
- Part 1 does not work, since GIVE WINESKIN did not put the sentry to sleep as claimed. He still wouldn't let me through.
- Part 2 ...

I have played neither game so I cannot give concrete help but just to eliminate one possibility have you tried doing this section the other way around (i.e., in Daemon do EXAMINE WALL, LOOK and in The Haunting do RUB RUBY)?


I have not tried (and can't really be bothered after trying and failing ...
