Ork! House of Fortune c64
Yesterday I played Ork! House of Fortune. It's not bad, but unfortunately the version I have apparently has some bugs. I solved most puzzles, but couldn't solve the following problems:
-If you dig with the shovel, you are attacked by giant worms. I think you should use the machetti, but USE MACHETTI doesn't work.
-Because of this I can't get the rusty key. I think it is used to unlock the guest house.
-I think the golden key is used to unlock the keyhole to the secret passage, but UNLOCK HOLE won't work if you hold the key.
-I have the stake and the hammer and I suspected that the sleeping Dracula should be found in the coffin, but when I OPEN COFFIN all I find is the diamond ring without Dracula.
-I have no idea what to do when you've found all five treasures. Returning to the game's starting location doesn't work:

Re: Ork! House of Fortune c64
The response to CLUE, certainly implies that Dracula is meant to be killed with the stake while sleeping.Alex wrote: ↑Tue Aug 17, 2021 11:22 am-If you dig with the shovel, you are attacked by giant worms. I think you should use the machetti, but USE MACHETTI doesn't work.

Looking at it quickly, there's a fairly interesting choice of vocab...
GO, GET, TAKE, SEARCH, EXAMINE, LOOK, USE, READ, SAY, TIE, INVENTORY, SWING, SPRAY, SHOOT, FIRE, CLIMB, HELP, CLUE, LIGHT, UNLIGHT, EXTINGUISH, DIG, DRINK, EAT, DROP, LEAVE, OPEN, THROW, LIFT, MOVE, HAMMER, OFFER, HOLD, QUIT, LOAD, SAVE
SWING MACHETTI perhaps? But that SPRAY sounds interesting.
I'll take a look but I doubt I'll get any further than you... Judging from your map, it's a pretty sprawling game!
Re: Ork! House of Fortune c64
Thanks! I've uploaded some hints in the form of a partial walkthrough including all the parts I was able to solve and the issues I couldn't solve so you can use it if you get stuck on one of the problems I did manage to solve.
Re: Ork! House of Fortune c64
I just found out that you can kill Dracula once you open the coffin. HAMMER STAKE works even though you can't read in the description that Dracula is there. Strange because I guess you should have been able to read that you found a "sleeping dracula". However, the usefulness of killing him is not clear to me.

Have you seen this vid?

I'll look into getting the source somewhere and working on the bugs as I convert it to MC-10.

Re: Ork! House of Fortune c64
Wrote too soon. Looks like it's not BASIC. Sorry. Can't help.
Re: Ork! House of Fortune c64
Yes I did see it, but that person didn't get as far as I did. Unfortunately no clues there on how to solve the last two problems (worms and opening the secret passage).
It seem to be compiled BASIC. If it was uncompiled I wouldn't have problems solving it.
Anyway, thanks for trying to help.
Re: Ork! House of Fortune c64
I think there were some programs that could technically decompile compiled BASIC programs on the C64.

Re: Ork! House of Fortune c64
Thank you, I know that site. Unfortunately, these programs only work for programs compiled with a few specific compilers.Strident wrote: ↑Sat Aug 21, 2021 7:28 pmI think there were some programs that could technically decompile compiled BASIC programs on the C64.
