OK, now I have finished the game with 100%. There was a note in the tunnel maze, which was worth the missing 4%. Walkthrough completed and sent to Jacob.

Hey, Juan, I just finished it and got 100%. Did you knock on the door outside the castle?

The one in the mostly abandoned town, where an old man answers the door? Yes.

Are you sure you found all scraps of paper?

I think I found ten. How many did you find?

What about the one in the tunnels ...

That's not it either. When I took my 3rd step to the south before taking 1 step to the west I fell into a pit

The directions I gave you are based on keystrokes rather than on what the counter says. When you Go East from the stable your counter will read "1 Step East" (or something like that ...

That's not it. You find that when you go into the King's bedroom. Maybe you didn't read the right page in the cookbook. Now which page do you think you should read? I haven't found anything in the game that should tell you it's page 45

I tried reading page 45 but it says there is nothing but ...

You might need to have the cart with you to be able to carry the chest (I did not try getting it without the cart, but I suspect you won't be able to carry the chest without it.)

You can enter those numbered ...

Game over!

I got 92% score. I suppose the remaining 8%, or part of it, has to do with those numbered doors that I couldn't figure out what they are for.

I will write a walkthrough. I will include you, Angus, since you provided important information for finishing the game.

Never mind, I just found the map, the key and the cookbook. Somehow I had missed the library!

Well, actually I've already hacked the disk and found the code used on the buttons are BFGIL. Now how I was supposed to get that, I don't know.

Where are these buttons found?

Those numbers on the map also seem useless for navigating the mist, but, I navigated the mist anyway, and found a ...

Correct, 256 is key to the solution. Remember, a lot of these puzzles are solved mathematically. What's that? Shut up and give you the answer? Ok, I think the right number is 16. Whatever it is, you are supposed to break up the digits of 256 then perform a multiplication and an addition on them ...

Do you want to put up the coded bit? I don't have much time to play the game through (Terri and Doreen are keeping me busy with buggy Spectrum adventures), but I'm always up for a challenge :-)

The difficult to decipher part is this:

Well, since you put it that way, I guess you could say that there are 2 ways to get into the castle, one is through the tunnels, and another is the drawbridge.

Yes, but what number are you supposed to enter for the drawbridge to come down? (if that's the way to do it.) The number (256) in the ...

At this point it's only a scrap of paper. You don't even need to do the tunnels. By taking the key and whatever else it is you find in the lit part of the tunnels, you can get into the rest of the castle.

How? I suppose it has to do with the buttons in the mailbox which apparently lower the ...

Update: I have mapped the dark tunnel labyrinth even after the match runs out, by walking around in the dark (restoring games whenever I got killed by falling into a pit.) This can be done more easily now with an emulator, but it must have been a pain in the neck back then with a real Apple. Maybe ...
