Re: blue dragon - BBC game

I have with me:

the shining lamp, the sword, the medal (worn), the flute, and the urn.

I am still thirsty. Should I have done something at the oasis? Or at the flats?

This game is amazing. There is more than one way to reach a location (in some cases).

It seems that you are in the same location ...

Re: blue dragon - BBC game

There does not seem to be anything in the maze. Is that right?

I get a hint from the mule when I give it something. I board the boat. I meet the giant, give him a gift, and end up in the desert.

I am beginning to think that the wraith keeps appearing to tell you thae you are going in the wrong ...

Re: blue dragon - BBC game

Thanks for continuing to play the game, Alex. I thought you were going to quit.

I too noticed there are times when you cannot kill the Orc.

I have been wearing the medal and the ring. Is it necessary to drop them and then pick them up again?

I played again using your walkthrough. But one does not ...

Re: blue dragon - BBC game

OK - I deal with the wizard. But then the wraith is there. Not with the slug. How does one deal with it?

Does it matter which order one does those things in?

Re: blue dragon - BBC game

thanks, gentlemen, I'll see how I get on.

Yes, I noticed the random elements, and also dislike them.

It also has more than one way to solve a puzzle (like the knight's sword and/or the battleaxe.

Yes, I read the review also.

I get the urn but the wizard gets me. How to avoid him?

Alternatively ...

blue dragon - BBC game

I have returned to this game with the hope that I could get further. Unfortunately, I cannot find my notes, and can't even get to where I once was.

This game does not recognize "EXAMINE".

Anyway, I have made it as far as visiting the castle and having what the bird needed to see. I am stuck at ...

Re: Ebony Tower - BBC

I have finished.

Interesting game. Lots of mazes to map. Some illogical puzzles. Who would have thought to wave a wand in a garden? But interesting, nevertheless.

Re: Ebony Tower - BBC

I did figure out how to get out of the exitless room.

Thanks for the second hint.

I'll write again. Soon, I bet.

Re: Ebony Tower - BBC

I'm stuck.

I got the liquid. But then I don't know what to do. I can use the carpet at the canyon, but that takes me to the dragon. I have killed the lizard. That, I think, is closer to the end.

Haven't found the ale. So a nudge, please.

Re: Ebony Tower - BBC

I hope I am managing this "quote" stuff well.

Do you have the gold? Or rather, have you made the gold? You need it in order to buy it. If you have, then PAY SALESMAN.

No, I haven't. So I need help how to make the gold. The "philosopher's stone"/book hint and the lead, of course. But how? Where ...

Re: Ebony Tower - BBC

That simple, eh?

OK some progress. Found the rod, got past the gate. There I found a shield, robe, wand, boots, ring, and dagger.

Does the BR/WW hint, mean take the Black robe or the Wizard's wand?

Anyway before I leave, is there any way to cross the pit? I thought that using the rubber boots ...
