Re: Spectrum Adventures

Brilliant! Got there in the end and finished the game, after the initial confusion and a bit of impatience on my part. Got stuck for a while in later stages of the game, but it's not too difficult when you figure out what verbs the game will accept. Thanks for your help on the bits I got stuck on.

Re: Spectrum Adventures

Found it! Was just experimenting with directions in that metal crawlway. Ah, getting there now! :)

Re: Spectrum Adventures

I've wandered back and forth through all the areas from the small round room to the open area a number of times, but I haven't found the alcove yet. Believe it or not, I never normally have this much trouble with these type of games :)

Re: Spectrum Adventures

I'm actually quite enjoying this adventure now, after realising that a number of locations are described the same. Was a bit confusing at first! I've got as far as the open area where I've examined the wall to find the square hole. Presumably I need a key of some sort, but I can't seem to find one ...

Re: Spectrum Adventures

Ugh, I'm beginning to see why there has not been a solution or a review about this game. I've finally managed to get out of the small round room into the grille, but am now stuck in a seemingly endless grille maze that keeps looping back to the same place. Anybody else got any further?

Re: Spectrum Adventures

Great, thanks zenobifan and Alex for that: Typing the commands in capitals within the quotes does indeed work. Right, time to play a bit of this game then!

Re: Spectrum Adventures

That sounds like a good idea. It'd be good to get some solutions written for some of these games as well. Only problem with Ace in the Hole is that I can't get it working properly under any emulator I've tried. I can load the first room of the game, but the game then refuses to understand any input ...
