Re: Catacombs/Cornucopia

Well, then maybe that's because of the DOSBox version you are using, some old 2012, right? I never tried it (I use SVN Daum 2014), so it could be not fully compatible with later versions.
Here, try my latest disk - your Manure save 0 with my save 1 added.

Re: Catacombs/Cornucopia

Your Manure save disk works fine for me!
The error "cannot create drive from file" usually happens when you try to mount a 'read-only' file. Make sure that the disk image is not set to read-only.

Re: Catacombs/Cornucopia


When you take holy water from the font with the carafe it is called blessed water.
Ah, so we can't actually take holy water?


I did remove the web to test if you actually enter the throne room and that's correct. Wonder if we have to burn the web with the flamethrower or if there is another way ...

That's very interesting!
I wonder how we can take red substance? And what's the difference between holy water and blessed water?

Re: Catacombs/Cornucopia

Oh, thanks!
I have checked it - yes, there is no way to get past Zombie with the purple sphere taken without the crash.
Unless we do not actually need that sphere, as the points are awarded only for obtaining the cube? But that seems very unlikely considering the inscription in the purple room.
I ...

Re: Catacombs/Cornucopia


I will when I understand how to save the game in dosbox that is how to connect a virual disk. I tried to mount a folder as a disk, but when I try to save the game it tells me saving failed. I don't use Dosbox a lot. So I will have to check that.
Oh, that's very easy. I attach the image of an ...

Re: Catacombs/Cornucopia


The ultimate 7 points you get when you take the purple cube after the gardener has left it. (of course I cheated in obtaining the manure :) because I don't know where to find the horserider )
Oh, great! So now we know how to get all 250 points?
But are you sure that "Internal Error" is not the ...

Re: Catacombs/Cornucopia


I do know how to enter heaven and go to the geyser without using the coin. cheating I have been in the location 62 of my map the "dried up lake". Problem is how to remove the plug.
Well, I do not think cheating will do for the walkthrough :)


What is the problem of getting back from the palace ...

Re: Catacombs/Cornucopia


Apart from the hints, I did write a walkthrough if you like I can share it as well.


OK, I have followed your map, thanks again :)
But I do not think there could be a real walkthrough yet, as we do not know how to get to Heaven, Geyser etc. without losing the coin - and how to get back from the ...

Re: Catacombs/Cornucopia


Coul be. Did you try it on the spiderweb?
Yes, but it was of no use there. Still I think that there should be a way to ignite the web with the (no longer spent?) match somehow...

As mentioned I have uploaded my map as well which contains all locations. Well I did not include location 64 (Hell) where you go when you are killed and location 1 and 3 are not used.
Yes, thanks! As you can see, I have posted my message before you were done with your map and hints.
I will now ...

Re: Catacombs/Cornucopia

Hi guys!
I am the person who reviewed "Catacombs" for Old-Games.ru, but was stuck with the spider, Dracula and the geyser :)
I have also half-mapped it, getting only 73 points out of 250. I attach my map, if it could be of any use for Alex to create the full one!

I also have a small fragment of ...

Re: Murder on the Atlantic (C64)

Does anybody still have any hints please?

I am also trying to play C64 version - guessed several codes and passwords, but got stuck in the elevator in the middle of searching and interrogating. What does 'Assess your evidence: ** * * ** *" mean? It is something like 'XE' in Morse, but the answer ...
