Iwill survive

Another Spectrum game(WOS). This one has lots of random/chance elements. Other than that, it is interesting, and challenging to say the least.

Keep looking. There is a fire extinguisher in the car I think, if you can open the chest.

Playing games sure beats pulling weeds out of a gravel driveway.

But yes, I do have a life - an going to a dinner prepared by a chef.

Are you going to be sending the solution to Jacob? I am willing to write it up (full credit to you of course).

Keep going. It works eventually.

I am at the Dark Lord's with the talisman, but nothing seems to work here.

House of the Dead

I think this is a challenging game(WOS). Though people may not think so, since at the beginning there is a decision about what objects to take with you as you can't go back. This choice of objects continues throughout the game.

I have chosen to take the jemmy, match, ignition keys, battery, trowel ...

Would you believe that leaving them in the hold and not on top came to me in the middle of the night?

Amby - go down the well.

OK - so I figured out how to get the ship to move. However, I seem to have a problem carrying everything I need to get off the ship. I need all the objects (the grain to give the birdman), the mouse at the giant's, the card at the gargoyle. However, don't I need the key to get past the locked doors ...

I have killed the eagle. For that you need an object from the forest. Once past there, more possibilities open up.

I think you may need the mouse. Plus I think you can safely drop the jar once past the insects.

I am waiting for some more hints from Doreen, but nada yet.

The sword is needed at the ...

I may have given the sausages.

So we will both need some ...

That's where Doreen's hint about rub oil comews in - to get past the insects. The verb (with the jar) is COLLECT. Have the sword with you. You may need to go back several times to collect the things you have to drop

Do you have the key? Look around the well. Have you gotten past the ant? Around ...

Good to hear from you Amby.
Since I don't map, you are more than welcome to do so. Sounds like Doreen has finished this game, though I don't know if she has made a map.

If you have the bats wing and give it to the wizard, you'll get something in return. I don't know if you can actually get into the ...
