I'm at work now but I'll send them tonight. Them because the second part of the game loads in 3 seperate parts (intro, manual and game). I'll explain it in my -email.

Re: technical question

I could send you a snaphot file (.SNA) of the second part which you can play without manually using the cassette recorder. Unfortunately when I try to upload it to this forum I get the message that the extension is not allowed to be uploaded nor winzip files not even when I try to send it by private ...

Re: xanadu cottage

I'lll just give you the value of x which is 6396 (won't bore you with maths :)).

You need the skates one more time to reach an object. The first maze of ice contains the bracelet, library ticket and the aqualung.

About the pills you have to time it very carefully because if you wait longer they ...

Re: xanadu cottage

By now you have noticed that whatever you leave behind in the dome, gets returned to you when you leave.
Actually I didn't know this. For some reason I never dropped something in the dome. Thanks, this helped me a bit further.

What did you do at the gong?
You need the drumstick, but before you ...

Re: technical question

I don't use Spectaculator myself. I prefer Zxspectrum4.net.

You don't have to save the game to enter part 2 or 3. What you have to do is to turn of autoplay and load the game manually.

In spectaculator you do this the following method:

-If the cassette recorder is not visible click Cassette ...

Thanks for your explanation. I'm not very familiar with the bbc.

Re: xanadu cottage

I''l have to go now. Will try again tonight.

I found 16 treasures which are to be taken to the cottage. My problem is I can't manage to take them all there because you can only carry a few of them at once and a lot of places you can only visit once because you run out of money.

Seems I have to ...

Re: xanadu cottage

Did you find some way to carry more objects?

For instance from the dome you have to take the symphony, reel, pencil with notepad, dinghy, skates, aqualung, ticket and bracelet. I can't carry them all at once (I allready carry the bag) but I only have enough coins to enter the dome once. You can't ...

Re: xanadu cottage

Try hitting the right Shift key

Thanks, now I can go on.

I still have to find some of the treasures, but the biggest problem seems to return them all to the cottage because you can only visit some locations once and can take only a few things with you. I also don't know yet how to return to the ...

Re: xanadu cottage

I'm stuck inside the cave. Seems the game is bugged. When you put a lot of objects into one location (at one point you have to) the game freezes because it can't display all the text at once. Or do you have to press some button I didn't find to scroll the text? I did make it to the other side of the ...
