I tried your trick Alastair, to set the speed at max, and just hold down the space bar. Eventually (not too long) it worked. Not that I will play arcade games, but I hope that I remember this should the need ever again arise.

Never Trust a Blonde

Spectrum game. Stuck (as I frequently am).

There may be a bug here. I cannot seem to get the glass cutters. While they disappear when I buy them, I don't have them in my possession.

Can't get the silencer for the gun (which I presume I will need somewhere) but it may be past whatever glass I need ...

There are three possibilities:

At the shack, there is a bolt and a crack.

At the bush/hedge

At the stone (other than getting the message.

Also, N and W of the plain, but these may be more dead ends.

I wasn't transported to any lane. Just a lot of fog. Which I can't seem to disperse? Even though I get the message to use the axe here.

Have not found a bracelet.

Did you get past Screedle?

Thanks Doreen

Now that I look at my map I see I have written "axe". D-u-u-h.

Where did you fill the bucket?

Yup - no arcade.

I quite agree - I HATE arcades too.

Yes, I ran into the cats too.

But tell me where you found the pliers, spanner and axe. So, just to say we made a good attempt, and quit just before the arcade.

Other than the hammer we have all the tools.

If you give the boy the pop, you get the sandpaper, but ...

Have you managed to get the sword from the red beared man?

The sugar is for the parrot.

I found a use for the red jacket.

Still cannot get the boots.

Also a Spectrum game. Playing with someone else would be nice, since I am stuck.

This is what I have done so far, though not necessarily in this order.

I have a key to open the door. The umbrella (I think it's needed for those locations where it rains) - OPEN UMBRELLA does not work, PUT is the ...

Forget my requests. I am finished.

But is that all? Kinda a disappointment.

Well...

I'll write the solution from the three of us.

There are some inconsistencies though. You didn't need to have the lamb or rope to get the wolf.

You can pick flowers. Go S and W from the boat.

My what a great way to see the nouns and verbs when the game crashes when you examine the key. Thanks John 50 for that tip.

I have explored further.

However, I seem to only be able to buy one item.

Doreen how did you get the hammer and still have ...

This game is so full of bugs -aargh. Have to do some things in an exact sequence....Can't see the butcher but you are expected to talk to a mirage....Can't pick some things up, once you've dropped them or even if you are carrying nothing....Too bad ...
