MENAGERIE
Stormbringer Software – Ian S. Brown
Zenobi Software
This is an interesting game, though some puzzles stretch your logic. Your
purpose is to avoid arrest by the police, solve the problems created by a
deranged mind, and find the Bloodstone Beast of Baal.
Ignore the message that they are in room 150 at level 42 because they are
not there.
You will need to SEARCH some venues to find items. While the objects may
seem unnecessary and illogical, you will eventually find out why you need
them. There are some red herrings, but they are ingenious.
There are various levels you need to explore and some you need to return to.
At times, you will be sent to your room to get needed sleep. When that
happens, return to where you left off. There are many levels – white, blue,
yellow, orange, black, pink, gold, grey, crimson, purple, green, and red.
Some you cannot enter, one you need a badge to enter. So push each colour in
turn to determine what level you arrive at. EXAMINE SIGN east of the lift.
Off-limits are black, gold, grey, green. To enter blue, you need a badge.
There is a limit to things you can carry, not the number but the weight.
Drop them in the lift, a convenient place.
Ignore the rat, east after you get Nigel. Also ignore the encyclopedia.
SAY "HELLO" to various aliens after you SCAN ALIEN.
When you see, scan and say "hello" to Ikle, note that he is lonely and would
like a companion. What would you do for a lonely, snowbound person? When you
have the necessary objects (coal, hat, nose, scarf) you can build a snowman.
FEED MYKKA with the lump (at the egg).
THROW PRISM at the Quarantine Room.
DROP CATERPILLAR at the rainbow sand.
SQUEEZE BLOODSTONE when you find it.
The order you need to get certain necessary itmes in order to explore
further is:
the hat: SEARCH CORN (don't miss this. If you do, you will have to go back
and play a restored game)
the badge: EXAMINE BOT in the orange level
the commlink: in the blue level
the guide: SEARCH MOOR in the red level
The remaining items can be obtained in any order:
the scarf: SEARCH TARDIS
the coal: DROP CATERPILLAR at the rainbow sands
the nose: THROW JAVELOIDS where you find them
