How did you get past the broken bridge? Jumping only gets you killed and the ladder seems to be to short.

I presume you mean at the crevice. Just "CLIMB LADDER" - limited parser here.

??? The sea, ocean, waves, sun, water, trident, etc. but saying any of these things apparently doesn't work ...

Press any key 3 X. You get the message to insert 2.dsk

When I unzipped the file both disks were there.

So I put both in Caprice, and loaded the second disk when it asked me to.

I'm not sure what you mean by "no name". The game just loaded for me.

I'll send you the start position if that's what you need.

What's all this with the "something solid"?

And how do you map with no objects>

Can you get me started? Yes, I have the hints, but have as yet found no objects I can get.

Ice Guardian

An Amstrad game.

I think it may be a GAC-written game.

I think I am about 1/2 way through. CLIMC LADDER is used very frequently.

I have only one of the tree objects so far.

Any takers?

You'll probably be done by the time I start, but I'll join in when I can.

Where are these games found?

Please don't tell me I need to load a new emulator? I honsetly cannot keep track of what games, in what platform/emulator? I'm too old for this?

I solved this some time ago. Either I forgot to send the solution (and hints) to Jacob, or he didn't post them.

Do you want my hints? Or for everyone to see?

Yes, I have noticed all those things you mentioned.

And no, I have not succeeded in opening the stagedoor. Since there are other ways, in and out, this may be a "red herring location".

You can also leave if you GO ORGAN, and play it, and you are whacked on the head (whether or not you have handcuffed the rings).

Seems to me that the sequence in which you do things is important.

If you listen at the rooftop with the valve open, the music reverberates. If you listen with the valve ...

This does not work if you have handcuffed the rings.

What about the ventilation shaft? Can one go up and down this?

Are we sure there is not a bug in the game?

I have tried to catch up.

I got into the phantom's lair, but how to get out and back into the opera house? I tried carrying the pin, using the wedge, dropping the pin by the door once you have opened it, etc. but to no avail.

You can handcuff the rings even though the game does not list them in ...

Thanks Alastair,

It didn't work out quite as simply as you thought, but, not being a complete dolt, only half a one, I managed. Had to make the screen bigger, got several error messages, and I think I am now set to go.

I've printed all the posts and see how far I get.
