Re: Most overutilized/underutilized themes?

If you scroll further, you can see my posts about technical problems with this game. Yes, it is interesting, but quite challenging about knowing what you need, and switching locations.

I haven't returned to it following my last post).

Give it a go, if you like. I can give you hints until the point ...

Humour changes with age, not to mention what people find funny, and I can understand why adolescent-written games lose their lustre. However, humorous games that solely rely on current humour is not what I mean. Yes, the British sense of humour is unique, but it withstands the test of time and ...

I'm not sure what games you mean Dave. Notwithstanding, I love to laugh, so send me some neat stuff (that doesn't have solutions), if it really is funny, and I should play it just for the enjoyment (with the solution, of course).

We all come from a different "head space". Adolescents write/wrote ...

So, Quido,

did you ever find the version of the game that let's you move the boulder? Did you ever finish it?

You folks have played more modern games than I. The few I've played I found to be excessive complicated, not necessarily the puzzles (those too), but maybe that's what you mean by "pretentious".

An underutilized "theme" seems to be humour (not the adolescent type). Maybe it's difficult to write a ...

Well, I THOUGHT I'd killed the goblin, but I only fed him, and if you go back he's still hungry.

Anyone have any better ideas?

Thanks Dave. This e-mail address is different from the others I had. Maybe I'll write him again.

Thanks for clarifying what he wrote. One game, I recall, had a killer sequence in a boat. I believe he literally had to walk me through that one, step by step.

Just checked out Philosper's Quest and ...

If anyone can get a hold of Peter Killworth (I tried but couldn't) can you ask him if he ever wrote the game he was intending to write? He said it was to be unusual and even more difficult than Philospher's Quest (please don't beat me up if I got the wrong game and he didn't write it.

Can't ...

I have an idea, though I haven't tried it yet. What about if the Korgi king would like what was left after you dispatched the goblin?

I'll get to it after I shovel.

Gotta do a reasonably amount of mapping here.

I am stuck in part 2 (so to speak - I mean I am now on dsk.2).

Following along the hints available:
I've done the riddle
I've deal with the goblin
I've gotten up the hill
I've gotten beyond the mountain
I've navigated the dark tunnel
I've dealt with ...

At this point, please do not worry about helping me out. I have managed to find disks that do not have this problem, and I have opened the game. I will post questions as the need arises. I do hope it is the same game????

If anyone wishes to join in, please feel welcome. There are hints out there ...

chalice of mostania (apple)

I am trying to play this game. It is a 4-disk game. Hints, and other stuff is available.

However despite this help I am unable to load this game. Can someone help me out? I tried booting dsk.1 and then dsk.2 but, despite waiting, nothing happens. As well as various combinations with the other disks ...
