Thanks, Alastair,

I had found and read the interview, but completely missed the sidebar about the map and hints.

Haven't yet explored as many locations as you have, Amby, only about 30.

No, I found a solution out there somewhere, and played it. Too complex for me. I would never have figured out what to do. Good luck it you want to give it a go.

Yes you can find the game following the link Amny gave. Go up a directory, and keep looking around. About comments from the author, it is not part of the game; I found it my searching Elysian Fields + apple game on some site or another. No hints though.

So, Quido, maybe you should play the Apple version of the game?

At least Apple allows you to "save state" though it took a bit of time to figure this out.

It really begs the question why someone who knows little about these things, keeps trying. Never having played these games in their original ...

Elysian Fields

After Amby gave the URL for Apple games, I checked it out.

I found Elysian Fields there. The title sounded interesting. It is touted to be an "educational" game and it you play around enough you can get comments from the author.

I like Greek Myths, so I though I'd play it. I found some beeswax (I ...

Did some more searching about Labyrinth, and found references to, and the solution to Masquerade (which apparently was "the game" to try back then, when I didn't know what a game was, let alone a computer).

Of course. Could not really be solveable without help.

Anyway, see my other post.

Thanks Amby.

The boulder is now passed.

Much appreciated.

Though that still leaves the problem with the other game.

I thought I had checked out that site.

Oh well.

Thanks, I will give it a try, assuming I can remember how to play the game.

Well, I am stuck in the same place Quido is/was originally stuck in. Can't seem to move past the boulder.

Maybe it has something to do with the version/platform on which one is playing?

Even though I have found a solution.

I have looked to find the Apple version you played and have not succeeded ...

Well, since you found a solution, I decided to look some more and found it as well.

You're correct about this not being a good game. The very idea that you are carrying something you know nothing about since it is not in your inventory (unless, I suppose, one needs to examine or search oneself) is ...

Amby, what emulator are you using? I can't seem to run the game with WinVice.

I get an error message that it can't read the disk.

If you have the game, can you send it to me?

Yes, I'd like some hints.

Where to use the jemmy? Where to use the security card?

I have managed to load the game under a different emulator. I have explored some of the areas. I don't really know how to load a saved game (though I can save it).

Questions:

What to buy west of the tavern?

I appear to be able to throw the rope at the quicksand, but what then?

I fele so out of ...

This is pretty pathetic. Sorry. I have found the game. But I am unable to start it. I have downloaded the file into every conceivable appropriate location. While I can appreciate that you may not be able to help me with this probably rather simple problem, I can't believe I am such a dolt that I ...

Thanks Amby,

OK I have located the game, but (not to mention that I am playing a BBC game right now), I can't recall how to start the process. Bear with me. I will again figure it out, but it is frustrating to keep forgetting.
