Presuming this is an Apple game, I can't seem to get it to load.

I am using Applewin 1.14.2. I get the loadoing screen, but then it quits.

Any help with this?

Seems to be working fine on my AppleWin 1.14.0-beta. Maybe you downloaded a corrupted copy of the game. I downloaded it here:

Re: unsolved games

The Rats

I tried playing that one a while back, both for the Spectrum 48k and the Commodore 64. It's more like a graphic adventure than a text adventure, and it seems a bit too random.

Shadows of the Past (by Jon Lemmon)

That game already has a couple of walkthroughs available:

OK - All finished with 100%...

Juan do you want to write up part 1 - and I'll do part 2?
Nice. I got 100% too.

I will write the first part of the solution. I will include Terri as well, since she did contribute something important for that part.

Re: thor

I did not bring rasp, spoon, bowl, crust, pine cone, apple (I did not find this item) spade, fur, broom.

I found the apple inside the bowl.

It looks as though we are completely stuck in part 2.

I wonder if Dave is reading these posts, and if he could 'unpaw' the game so that the messages could ...

Re: thor

The tapestry depicts a troll 'bathing beneath a waterfall'

If he is bathing then he must not have any clothes on - maybe the gauntlets are there - but where is the pool at the bottom of the waterfall - I have not seen it.

Neither have I.

Did you bring such items like the rasp, or the bowl, or ...

Re: thor

The dragon is to be found on another island from the 'gull area' on the sea go - N, N, W (to rough sea) W, (to cold seas) N, N, NW, N (to icy shore)

OK, found it.

Oooooo dash - I don't have the ....candle back to end of part 1....

Re: Thor

I have not as yet seen a skeleton - is it in another 'island location'

No, it's in the same island as the witch, the snake, etc. You need the candle in order to be able to get into the dark caves (the entrance is in the witch's room.)

I shot the raven with the arrow - but never thought of ...

Re: thor

How you doing Juan...

Have you managed to dispose of the snake yet? I get no help from the gods.

'EXAM ERIC' opened up the game for me.

I'm packing up now - will catch you another day...

No, I have not been able to deal with the snake yet (I tried killing the raven and giving it to the snake ...

Re: thor

Not quite sure which Spectactulator version I am using.

Go to "Help", then to "About Spectaculator", it will tell you which version you have.

To save a game -

PRESS 'FILE' this brings up a box.

Type in the File name box what name you wish to give the saved part.

I'm afraid you lost me here ...

Re: thor

I think it's pretty safe to assume that this first part of the adventure is complete now. I have finished it with exactly 50% score.

Now, how do we save the game and load it again in the second part? What emulator are you using? As stated before, I am using Spectaculator V.5.30. I don't remember ...

Re: thor

Yes, that was the trick, to wait before attacking him. Wolf dead and his head given to the Kobold.

I have also found what the strange stone is used for.

Do a bit of 'waiting' after throwing venison to wolf.

So you must have got the dwarf and elf killed to obtain the brass key to escape...

Yes, after he moved the boulder I just had him follow me and as soon as they met in the dungeon they proceeded to exterminate each other.


Any more luck with the wolf?

No, not so far. When I found the bow and ...

Re: thor

Right I have finally managed to move the boulder with the dwarfs help - it is very important - 'EXAMINE BOULDER' again to see a room beyond the boulder then 'ENTER ROOM' in here is a one of the objects you seek for Thor.

So how do you escape from these dungeons and tunnels if you don't have the ...
