I think I need some descriptions of the rooms you're in.

It looks like you need to set of the self-destruct mechanism before you can leave the mansion. This requires that you find the room "The West end of the gantry.A button is marked "1"." Which seems to be found by using the lift.

To use the ...

We cannot get east to the music room because of a security door, we cannot get out of either the front or back door, nor reuse the lift. With only the jack, wand, cassette and small key available we have tried every possible combination. How do we move on from here?
It looks like you entered the ...

If you patiently examine the .dsk with Wordpad, you get some hints about something happening (an explosion?) which you do something to the joker.

The game's actually written in GAC; so I can now decode it (I couldn't before as it highlighted a pretty serious memory bug in my GAC decoding routines ...

Nope; I didn't touch the computer for a couple of days and then you guys sprang miles ahead of me, so I've gone back to completing a few BBC games for a bit... (and killing zombies, but that has to be done).

I too have managed to find the robot and the token in the bin but have been unable to progress much further. The robot has a label on it saying reject-No ZIP. The ZIP is exactly what we need to activate it but I can't track it down. Embarrassed to fall at the first hurdle in this game. :oops:

I've started playing zed; though I can't seem to get past the start. I need something to activate the robot; but can't find it.

Oops; I've manage to beat Adventures of Zebedee - it was a lot more complicated and evil than the others. There's a lot of places you can become trapped and careful management of objects is required...

If you're playing it examine everything.

I've done some exploring on that (mainly to see whether it was in English). But haven't really got anywhere.

I'll have a proper bash today!

Just to let you know I beat 7 lost gnomes a few hours ago (it seems to be a kiddy adventure so wasn't too difficult). I'll have a go through some of them, starting from the top and see what I get difficulties on...

They both mostly have GIVE x to y type puzzles; so easy enough once you work out what to give and to whom. Though in some places I solved the puzzles by GIVEing everything in my inventory to people.

I've written up adult1 and pm'd that to you.

I've found a big archive of CPC adventures at http ...

About adult2; I've got further but I'm a bit stuck on a couple of areas: there's a couple in the house party who don't have adult orientated protection, but I can't find any form of protection around and what do I do with the lady of easy virtue.
Found it! The two are linked and it was just using ...

Just managed to finish adult1 - it's a bit unsatisfying; still no idea why the ending is there, etc. I'll clean up my map and write up a solution to it.

It turns out you need to BUY DRINK to get the courage to descend to the sewers, something which I hadn't done!

There seem to be a lot of fish of ...

Manhole cover

Just go down.

It gives me a message about how it's scary down there and it doesn't want to go; I'm guessing I need some form of light.

Ah well, it looks like the farmer problem is insoluble then. Nevermind, I will submit the partial solution and possibly the maps to Jacob. Dave and Alastair, what are your surnames so that I can include you on the partial solution?

I'll IM you my full name...

Terri, I have done both Adult1 and ...
