OK - I've done this all over from the beginning.

This time I found the matches and rag, but no short stick and no oil. However, I found a hammer before but not this time. So I can't make a torch.

So this tells me that some of the items that we have are in common need to be used, in one of the ...

Where are the rags and the oil?

Have you used the torch somewhere?

I think that I've tried various combinations in the locations where there is something to pass, but no go. In one place I did get the message "you don't have an arrow", but not at the others.

This is a touch too much illogical slogging to me.

Great idea. I'll give it a try. SHOOT (the verb) is allowed.

Funny, I play it on Spectaulator.

I downloaded the .tzx version, not the tap version.

Sometimes resetting to Spectrum 48, rather than 128 works.

See ya.

It's there on the first screen you get. The font is hard to read, so it can be easily missed.

I've been to 25 locations, not including the maze, and a few being lost in the the wires.

I'm away for a couple of days, so keep chugging along.

Yes, I have tried to map the maze, but I can only find nine rooms, and they all appear to lead back to each other.

I have five objects: sword, lantern, cloak, snips, and fork (did you get that)? Still not enough to drop one item in each room.

Yes, I too cannot crawl n or s regardless of the ...

Murder at the Manor

Hi folks,

Yes, I know I post a lot of questions, but I have many, many unsolved games.

This game is available at WOS.

This is not be confused with Manor Murder.

This is an intriguing, though tedious game. Maps and a few hints are available at the Tipshop, though the former has some minor ...

What about if the "sticky" items refer to the sticks you've found? I think there are three or four. You can combine one of them with another item you found, but I can't determine how to use it. A curved stick makes me think of a boomerang, but throwing in at any of the locations where you cannot ...

Well, this is better than your previous 18-hour days. You would think that that was not something the Human Rights Commission (or equivalnet in you county) would allow.

Anyway, just to let you know, since the hints in both City and Museum are similar, I revisited Museum. After a time the game hangs ...

Of course - anything to give you another maze to conquer...

Two steps (or one) from the bear cave, MOVE/PART bushes, and go from there. Happy hunting.

Looks like we're stuck in the same places. Have you created the gap yet? You don't need any tools. Then tell me what you think of that maze....

I'm plugging along. Thanks for the hint about the generator. It would never have occurred to me that it was an object you could pick up.

Anyway...

I too have mapped the maze. Easy, eh?

In order to collect the gems you need the bag (obvious) and a tool. Hint: where are gems usually found? This ...
