Ok, throw me a bone here people.... :roll:

How do I get down on the garden side of the wall? My guess is that I need the 'line' from the tower, which I obviously can't seem to get. I show it to the guard who gets all freaked out, but doesn't do anything.

Terri, The easiest thing would be to mail a saved state I would think. The problem now is my limited knowledge of spectrum programming. That command line interface with the shortcut keys is a pain. Also, I'll first have to look for something similar to what I found for the c64 (to grab the listing f...

Doreen, Thanks, I'll give them a try. By fixed locally, I mean I'll just modify the code to work, the tricky bit would be then to save it back as a image. I did some 'fixing' to The Odyssey, not neccesarily bugs, but odd programming. For example where it depended on where you were when you ate the f...

That's the reason I was trying to continue, to find out if it is a bug or not. If it was, I was going to try to fix it, at least locally. I couldn't understand by the posts what the real problem was. Having said all that, I find it painful to restart all the time as I haven't found a decent emulator...

I'm still trying to catch up here....

What do I do in the Zigg from the road entrance? I have: killed the one mut slave and gotten the metal spike, the other slave I can't kill.

At the place where you go to the riddles, take a look around as Guido mentioned, you'll need to do something there. Where to go from there you can guess by what the guy at the throne (South of where you are) says....make sure you have the key first.

Guido, are you saying you found a place to use it or just suggesting that I try? I've gone back and went to every location I could think of that wasn't plains, road, forest or desert kinda thing, and tried USE POTION and DRINK POTION, and nothing. I can't seem to use the potion where I'm stuck, so t...

Everyone caught up? Here's where I'm stuck. I can't lift the box, because "I'm not magically strong enough". The only thing I have so far that I haven't used is the potion, which I can't seem to use here. It's such a backwards place that I don't know if it's looking for an opposite command or what? ...
