Search for the Lost Orb

#1 Post by Chrysophylax » Wed Aug 09, 2023 10:52 pm

Hi everyone,

New user here, loved adventures back in the day, revisiting my (misspent) youth now I'm old enough to know better.

I've found this little beauty on a BBC emulator. I've explored about 75 locations but now I'm a bit stuck with a Gargoyle and a tentacled thing in a tunnel. Anyone done this and able to help out a fellow adventurer?

I finished this and put a map up on CASA if that's any help. I have a feeling the tentacled creature doesn't need solving.

Regards

Canalboy,

Many thanks for this. Fuzzell gave me a subtle hint and that helped me past the block I had at that time. Am deep into the third part at present, may give you a shout if I get stuck again if that's ok?

No problem. Fuzzell and I had a lot of fun with this back in the day. It is obviously of a professional quality, reminding me of a Phoenix / Derek Haslam hybrid kind of game.
