I thought that the version I was playing was from W of S.

Yes, I know there were chance elements (many of them) but I tended to ignore them when writing the solution.

I'll check out the game again.

Thanks for the tip.

Yes, I tried drinking the juice. It doesn't help. Throwing things, using weapons, shooting gun, etc. also doesn't.

I should have maybe asked first how to get the hot coal, after getting a hint about pain. The coal is north of the basement before you cross the plank at the river.

OK. Onto Part 2. Nice to know you still have your spells with you. Also nice to find out what they are supposed to do.

How does one get the helmet from the lunatic. SWAP is a verb, but what do I swap?

Also at the fire? How to put it out? It would be nice to have the helmet with water in it, but I ...

Right, right, I remember. Are you sure you want to play with me? Methinks the memory may be going just a tad?

FIGHT ORC worked for me (I don't think you need to have a weapon).

I think the dwarf comes later.

Sure I'll try Part 2, but it better be a little less obscure with the puzzles.

What's the name of the game? Stairway to Hell only lists one game (and contains only one disk image) under It's Magic.

I did find the FLASH spell before, but it is not listed in the inventory. So the only thing I am missing is SILENT.

Given that the pen is unreliable, does one need to do anything with it first before completing the form?

I too tried being an alien when completing the form, and it didn't work ...

Well, this is complicated, especially making the lens and the tube.

I had to go back to a plaque to touch it to get the ALIEN spell off, though maybe it had a limited life span. (Being an alien does not alow you to get out of the diamond area).

Still a couple of questions:

How does one open the ...

What a nice game. Good descrptions. Lots of places to get stuck.

I too do not know how to give the completed form to the assistant in hte library? What happens if you drop it and then return?.

However, I am nowhere near completing this part.

So far I have two spells (Life and Alien). Once you are ...

Sorry. I forgot to say it's the Spectrum game.

Yes I saw your previous posts. Lately I've been into reading more than playing, but now am on holidays, so I'll give It's Magic a try. Enthar 7 sounds very long and big. And if you can't solve it? Maybe in the future...I need gratification relatively ...

gateway to the skies

This is an interesting game, but I am stuck. One needs to pass through several halls of enlightment.

Anyone interested in playing it? I am stuck at the dwarf, and don't know how to kill him.

While I don't have a map, from my recollection, it's a fairly lengthy game, made more lengthy by, of course, having to draw your own map. Enjoy.

I am trying to play this Spectrum game. It is pretty involved and complicated, but have gotten through much of it. I am stuck at the grave, and also at the bridge. Any ideas from anyone?

Well I'm glad you finished Doreen, but there are still many unanswered questions, let alone objects (map, horse, ale, etc.) all of which cannot be red herrings.

I'll write up what we have, but maybe some enterprising chap or chapette will be willing to tackle this one.
