The Day the lights stayed out
Hints by Alex Dijkstra for the c64
Note: this game seems unfinished. It is completely unplayable, buggy and full of typos.
However some hints:
Roomnumbers refer to my map on casa.
Objects and their uses:
-your wallet: Examine it to learn it contains a key and an ID. The key can be used to open the door
in the kitchen. The ID is needed to pass the checkpoint and to enter the hotel.
-knife: no use
-your coat: you can wear it but it has no use.
-small box: take box and open it to find some money
-money (inside box): no use
-box of matches: you can light matches in room 14, but it is full of gas and you will die.
-apple: you can eat it, but it has no use.
-large sign: no use.
-some money on the table: If you take it you are arrested.
-large piece of meat: if you take it the dog will eat it in room 1c.
-multi purpose-ladder: you can only take this if you are not carrying anything else. If you walk
with the ladder to room 1e you automatically enter room 1f. However you need your wallet later on,
but you can't take your wallet with you.
-gas mask: You can't take it, and you can’t wear it, but you need to wear it to pass room 2a.
-rather large sign: Read it.
-very heavy set of keys: You can't take them.
Note the command drop does not work.
Rooms:
-Room 06:Kitchen. I f you have the wallet with the key you will open the door to the toilet.
-Room 0e:End of street. If you enter here with the money someone will rob you.
-Room 14: If you light a match you get killed because of the gas.
-Room 19: Managers Office. If you take the money, you are arrested.
-Room 1c: Market. If you have the meat, the dog will take it.
-Room 1e: Large wall. If you have the ladder you go to room 1f.
-Room 22: You need the wallet with the ID to pass the checkpoint.
-Room 2a: You need to wear the gas mask to pass the gas cloud.
-Room 3b: You need your wallet with ID to enter the hotel. Note you get the same message as you drop
death from the cliff, but you will enter the hotel.
It appears you are searching for your Granny, but the game has no ending. When you try to climb the
stairs inside the hotel the game crashes, because the locations does not exist.
