I think it's because you're not heavy enough by yourself to lift the wall, so the anvil provides the extra weight.

Re: royal quest

Have found nothing to give the troll.

I can't find the troll (in the caves)?

I can enter the cave system by waking the dwarf, giving him the apples and he opens the rock.
But you can get into those caves by ' go wall' when it has been risen by the anvil in the cottage cellar - strange to have 2 ...

According to the source code (it's BASIC), the wooden leg is in:
YOU ARE ON TOP OF THE ISLAND. YOU CANNOT SEE MUCH THROUGH THE THICK MIST THAT SHROUDS THE ISLAND.
Which seems to be a maze location.

RIP

Some ones I didn't have much trouble with, like MOUNT MOTORBIKE; other ones I got to a similar level of fustration, like you. RIP caused me some delays, but doesn't seem to unnatural to me...

I suppose it's the way people think...

You probably already have the right object (what did you use the stamp for)?

Re: fugitive

Playing the guitar at the tube station and getting the money has opened up the game.

You can ride the tube too (the ticket machine is there for a reason).

I've given Bill the record and have danced with Sharon

Don't forget that people like to talk...

I presume I need the bike to proceed ...

You're pretty much almost there, you even have the right idea of what to do. If you SEARCH the nettles then your hand gets stung.

How can we protect our hands?

Who have we seen who has a similar protection on them? (think of the cane).

I don't know why, but when I tried to get the handle off ...

The intro for the game is:
Doctor HINSON an evil scientist has travelled back in time to German occupied FRANCE. He intends to give the Germans a formula for NERVE GAS to help them win the war. In return he will be given riches captured by the Germans.

Fortunately, British Intelligence has been ...

You have to give him something, see below

Re: time

Where do you take the german rider to hide him?

I hid him in the forest (to the west of the road) and didn't have a problem with the guards after that...

As I said earlier the emulator is so fast for the game that when I get killed the screen goes so quickly that I havn't time to read it ...

Re: time

TWhen I try to enter the chateau I get killed if I am a civilian and also get killed wearing a german riders uniform... any help here?

Did you remember to clean up after yourself; it will normally explain why ...

I would but I can't find it; I can find a game called "fugitif", but it seems to be in French.

Have you got a URL?

I've used a really old walkman (used it all the way 'til 1999, when I got my discman) to transfer games from tape before.

The major problem is that you can get some constant noise on the line which you may have to remove (quite easy with audacity's noise removal stuff - just remember to leave some ...
