Well, it works.

Somehow my torch wasn't lit, even though I could light the gunpowder. However, the trap door in the well - don't think I would have got that part.

Thanks

Yes, I did that and I am in the cart. But how to light the hay? I have the torch. Before I was able to LIGHT EXPLOSIVE, but LIGHT TORCH doesn't work.

Nevertheless, it takes a lateral, creative mind to come up with that answer. Brilliant, Alastair.

Now, help me out with my other games.

Following Doreen's hint to sleep with the crash helmet, I am finally done. While a very challenging game, the random elements really get to me and it becomes tedious after a while.

I will write up the solution (such as it is), crediting it to Doreen, La Woman, and me, in that order.

With maybe ...

castle of skull lord

Since no one is available to help with the other games I am stuck in, let's try this one. This is a BBC game, found at Stairway to Hell.

I was going nicely along, but now am stuck. I do not know what to do at the well or at the burning house. I can't seem to light the hay. Anyway who wants to play ...

I've finally managed to get at this game. It is well-written, isn't it.

I can't crack the computer. What is the code? Where is the codebook?

Thi s is a WOS game. It has random elements in it. There does not appear to be any scoring system that I can determine. The objective is to survive the nuclear attack.

I have been at this for some time. There appear to be many objects that you don't need (at least superficially), but who knows ...

I still can't find the crowbar. I seem to have done everything I needed to do at this point.

No go for dropping the can with water without the coat.

So I am stuck...Do I wait till Wednesday?>

Thank you la-woman, for your directions about how to make ice, and Doreen for your hints about where objects are needed.

I have started all over again. The randomness of events does get to me at times.

How many "days" does this game take to complete? I am on Tuesday (having only been able to get ...
