Aaah - you need the cursor keys to move.
So, how does one get the key from behind the locked door?

This feeble adventurer has joined your play. However, I seem to get nowhere, right at the beginning, in the dark passage with the torch.

I do believe I need a boost.

I am almost ready to give up this game.

I still cannot get the shears from the gardener whether I am carrying the duster, give him the duster, etc.

I cannot seem to wear the tie, only carry it.

The lever at the armour - you hear a creak - but what does it do.

I cannot PUSH BOOKCASE in the study ...

Carrying the duster does not get me the shears.

Pushing the bookcase does not give me a tunnel. Do I need to be carrying something particular?

I haved not found the way to get to the church and beyond.

There appears to be something missing in what I have done.

Have you been able to decipher the code? I tried alternating in many different ways, and nothing makes sense. I can find the words "bottle" and letter" but not by alternating.

The key - what does it open? The lab? Where is the lab?

I still can't get the gardener to give me the shears. Maybe later ...

Well I have explored the house.

There appears to be something in the vase, but I cannot break it. How does one get it out? Is it the key?

Going down into the cellar the second time, one trips over something. Even with the light on, you don't know what it is. Any help here?

The lever behind the ...

Thanks. This certainly was a difficult game.

Well, as to what's next - there is a post on the "kidnapping of professor mundle". Can you help with that?

Any more success with Penneless?

STAND ON DEBRIS did it. Thanks. It's finished.

I have written a solution (in your name), and if you don't mind, will eventually send it to Jacob. There must be someone in this world, other than you or me, who has wanted to finish this game :lol:
Now - to go mow the lawn...

BTW - Guido.

I thought I do some searching in rec.games.int-fiction. Somebody had written in saying that Thief's Adventure was "bugged" and "unwinnable".

So other than writing to the guy who wrote it (who lived in New Jersey, USA in 1986), maybe we are really stuck...

They also said that about ...

I see that the antique sword is south of the servant's room.

And now when I try to sell the watch - the fence takes it.

So I have $190.00 now. Is that why you think one treasure is left?

Maybe the package is to give to the guard, but the throne is too heavy to lift.

I agree that we are missing ...

OK - I'll try the servants room and S/R.

I did not find the digitial watch to be a treasure. When I tried to sell it to the Fence - I just dropped it.

If the sword is not in the servant's room - where is it?

kidnapping of professor mundle

This is a Spectrum game. I have just gotten started, and am stuck already. Anyone willing to play along?

How do I interact with the policeman?

I thought I had tried to go past the boarded up door at the bottom of the maintenance shaft before and couldn't, but this time I managed. Got the pearl.

Is the servant's room a red herring?

Still don't know what to do at the monument.

My heavens, there's a lot of re-tracing of steps here, and use of objects I would never have considered.

HEAVE the dummy, rather than THROW. That doesn't somehow fit as all the other verb uses were very simple.

OK I'm up to $175.00.

I don't know where to open the clam - I tried every location in ...
