Re: Hall of the King - TRS-80 CoCo

I am not familiar with the game but looking around some other sites I see that at one point you need to refer to a crowbar as "cro" so perhaps "examine dum" and "pull rop" will work?

Yes, that was in part 3, and it was a bug in the program. But here there is something else at play since I have ...

Hall of the King 3: The Earthstone Revealed - TRS-80 CoCo

Anyone around here played the third part of this trilogy for the TRS-80 CoCo?:

I am stuck at what seems to be close to the end of it. I have joined the pieces of the key and opened the gate to the place where the Earthstone supposedly is, but ...

Hall of the King - TRS-80 CoCo

Anyone around here ever played the first part of this trilogy for the TRS-80 CoCo?:

Back in the day it was billed as "the largest adventure campaign available for any computer" (it was a total of 6 disks, 2 for each part of the trilogy):

Re: Inca - Apple II & PC

Is this the 'official' way to keep the brooch, or did the programmer not realise that you could drop the brooch in the prologue? I suspect that it is the latter as restoring the game from the beginning (ALT+0) puts you in the lifeboat without the brooch.

Who knows? It could be that recovering the ...

Re: Inca - Apple II & PC

OK, I have finished the game. However, I could not achieve a perfect score. 18 points are missing (302 out of 320 points.) Maybe it's that thing in the condor's claws that I can't figure out how to get. Whatever it is, though, it is not necessary to finish the game.

A walkthrough will be written ...

Re: Inca - Apple II & PC

I have finally solved these two problems (which were really one problem, actually.)

I might have spoken too soon. I just noticed that the condor that holds something in its claws still pops up every now and then, so it might be something else than the gem/jewel you find at the condor's nest (or ...

Re: Inca - Apple II & PC

2- One of the condors that passes by flying has "something tightly in its claws", but everything I have tried to either kill it, capture it, or somehow make it release the thing it has in its claws has been useless so far

3- There appear to be several tall mountains/rocks/cliffs/outcrops around ...

Re: Inca - Apple II & PC



1- I have not been able to recuperate the Golden Sun brooch, which Cupay and Amaru take away from you at the start of the game. This appears to be an important item in the game.




I don't know if this is as it was meant to be done, but Cupay and Amaru only take things from you when you have ...

Re: Inca - Apple II & PC

I am trying to play this game via DOSBOX, but am having trouble getting started.

Can you walk me through this?

I think I managed to change the Z prompt to a C prompt, but C did not show up on the screen.

OK, the following instructions on how to run the game are for DOSBox with D-Fend Reloaded ...

Re: Inca - Apple II & PC

I had tried to play this game before, but could not get out of the boat. How did you do that? I was playing the Apple game, so I will try it on the PC.

Jump into water (be sure to get the knapsack and canteen before you do; also do it while there are no sharks around)

I will help you on the ...

Has anyone around here played this rare text adventure from Hayden Software?:

Re: The Brew - C64

OK I'm done. Very complicated and "fussy" game. I enjoyed it but would never have been able to finish it. I'm glad you did.

Can you tell me how you, or if you solved the riddle with the matchsticks? I recall when I was a kid doing similar logic puzzles. I can (figuratively speaking) remove one ...

Re: The Brew - C64

Thanks. And the two other things you've already put in, right?

That makes five (radish, ball, piece of flag, cube, hair)

I tried "light fire" but that didn't work. You need to "light fire under kettle".

"Light fire" works just fine. You have to put the firewood under the kettle first, though.

Re: Opera House and QA for the Atari 400/800

A solution will be up shortly (once I have worked out who to credit), in the meantime the order for knocking out the phantom is:

1. Handcuff the rings.
2. Drop the chloroform soaked cotton wool down the ventilation shaft.
3. Close the valve.
4. Go to the lair via the trapdoor.

This was done with ...

It's not just 3 things you have to put in the kettle, but 5.

Sorry, I forgot "Light fire" after all the ingredients have been dropped into the kettle. Then you get a colorful "brew". Will ...
