Hello folks out there.

I have made a millimetre of progress.

You will recall I was done, Part 1, did part 2, did part 3. Now I need to reload Part 1.

All of this is in Spectaculator.

Then, I press M, and it gives me the correct toolbar at the top. Using the right cursor key, I can highlight ...

Funny I have platform 4 in Part 1, not platform 2.

OK I'll try this.

Thanks

At this point I only want to load the game, and find out whether I load it into Part 1 or Part 3.

No solution needed as yet.

What's this M menu you are talking about?

Using Spectaculator, I was able to save Part 1, load Part 2, and insert Part 1 into it. I (think) I can save Part 2, but can't ...

Thank you gentlemen.

I've tried every possible combination of SHIFT, CONTROL and ALT, using P and 2 and +2, but this doesn't work (under XZ emulator)

Spectaculator (which doesn't have the quotation problem) actually manages to save the game (at least I think it does), what I can't do is load it ...

lamberly mystery

Hi out there.

I am trying to play Lamberly Mystery, a Sherlock Holmes adventure for which I can find no solution. It is a 3-part adventure found under Zenobi 48 games on WOS, labelled Mystery 1, 2 and 3.

I have managed to "finish" part 1, save the game (you do this on the train), open part 2, and ...

I like the layout of the mockup. Alastair's suggestion about a vertical listing sounds good.

I have no recollection of saying what I said about Scott Adam's game, though maybe you only wrote this as an example. I didn't think he wrote it. I'm curious - you did make it up, didn't you?

I'm resigned ...

I too, have completed a solution for Corporal Stone. I suppose it may depend on who sends the solution to Jacob first, as to which one he posts. If yours is beter than mine, I don't mind if yours supercedes mine.

Absolutely. I don't think there is any way since there is no internal logic to the game. The random features would drive some people nuts as well.

BTW - I think you only get notifications if a private message has been sent, not posts to the regular forum.

I found the gate.

I think I am finished. The message said congratulations on the election to the council.

325 points. Is that the maximum?

The most unusual issue I think, is that so many things are random - the locations, your treasures being taken by the pirate, the elevators not working. I ...

Thank you. Yes, I found another way.

However two other questions:
1. Is the beach house, the same as the bathing hut? I have not found the beach house so I am hoping they are one and the same place, and that is the place to drop the treasures.

2. The old man and the laurel wreath, water bottle ...

I did type Hint, and it told me that I could wander around and someone may help, or I needed to get back to (I think) the ZZZZ room, which I can't seem to do.

I think I have solved all I can do to this point, though I may be wrong here.

Yes, of course, I have many unfinished games.

The difficulty is with the guard sobering up since I don't know where to refill the empty vodka bottle before he does so.
