This is a Spectrum game. I have the map, the goblet, the horse, the knight's sword, , food and the lamp. Now what? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Terri,
You need to wander into the Roggoth's lair, mount your horse and just head north and south which will then open up a whole new game area.
All the best,
Geoff

I guess I should have mentioned that I did that. I ate the food and wandered arouned, but this is where I am stuck. Specifically at the chasm.

Have you found the key to open the iron door...?
This should open up the game for you.

Yes, I have the key. But the door won't open. I think I've used all possible verbs that one can use with a key or a door. But obviously not. Help please.

OPEN DOOR does not work for me.
Can you tell me what your inventory is?
I did not kill the wolf. Does that make a difference?

Yes I did 'fight wolf' - and 'eat food' I also 'fight ogre'
I have the sword and goblet and lamp
'say lamp' in hut.
Can't help much more as after getting the boat and oars there is not much more to do.

I just downloaded this game again and have tried my solution.
I have got to the iron door and have to say that I too CANNOT open door!!!
I have also found that you have to type DRP not DROP items.
The lamp must be lit - although when it is lit the door does not appear only when the lamp is dropped in the location. Then if you leave the loc and return the iron door appears...
I completed this game way back in '87. I just wonder if this is an earlier release and is bugged...
Does anyone know different?

Thanks for trying the game again, Doreen.
Yes, I noticed all the same things you did, esp the DRP.
So, maybe we'll wait until Geoff checks in again, and we'll be clearer.

Can't remember - it's years ago - but have you tried the old 'use key'?

Yup. Tried all sorts of verbs. Nada.
Sorted!

Hi, Terri,
There are actually two versions of 'The Golden Chalice' stored at the WoS site. The one with the dreadul font, file name 'Chalise', does not appear to work.
You should download the TZX version where 'open door' does function.
ATB,
Geoff

Thanks Geoff.
I've sent off a solution (with the advice to play the .tzx game, and to DRP) to Jacob. I've added that the solution was written with your advice about which game
not to play.
