Question #2

-----------
I have been playing Mars Saga for a while and it was all OK until I had to return to base from surface of the Mars. When I want to enter the base I have to enter some kind of password, and I do not know the password. I would appriciate to get the password because the game is very good and interesting.

Thank you.
-- Shash

Answer #1

---------
To enter a city you have to enter a 6 digit number which you find on a code wheel. Unfortunately it's difficult to type up because it uses graphic symbols, not letters from the alphabet.

Question #4

-----------
I've always loved the game "The Trap Door", but have never solved it.
Does anybody have some hints they can throw my way?

-- SKot Kirkwood

Answer #1

---------
Can of worms: Get the silver can, and drop 4 worms in it.

Fried eggs: Let the bird out, get the frying pan handy, and put a disposable object (like the bullet) on the trapdoor. When the bird is above it, pull the lever to shoot the bird. wait for it to drop an egg, and hold the pan underneath it. Repeat 3 times, and put the pan on the cooker.

Eyeball crush: Plant the eyeball seeds in the pots in the garden. (do this much earlier, as they take ages to grow.) Pick up the giant eyeballs, and drop them in the big wooden vat. Put the glass bottle under its tap. Let the big jumping monster out, and push the vat so he jumps in it.

Boiled slimies: Get all four slimies from the lake, and drop them in the big cauldron. Let the green unicycle monster out. Get him to flame you, but stand next to the cauldron, and move out of the way quickly. He should cook them. You need to set the weight trap to get rid of him.

-- Noodleboy

Question #5

-----------
Alrighty, is't an old game. I'm stuck on ETERNAL DAGGER. I'm in Alvis's dungeon on the second level. I've been in the room above the bodies, the room with the rocks, and the one with the kegs. Every time I try to go through one of the two doors on the bottom area of the bodies or the door at the far east, I get the message DOOR WON'T OPEN or somthin' like that. Is there a blank wall? A secret button? A secret door? Did I miss something on the first level? Since the door shut when I entered the Tower, I can't leave. HELPME!!!!!!!!!

-- Anthony

Question #6

-----------
I've been stuck in the game Time Tunnel (distributed by US Gold I think) for almost a decade! Does anyone know what to do after all the scriptures are collected?

-- JASTA27

Answer #1

---------
You need to go far into the future and drop all the pieces of parchment.
They will come together and give you a message in mirroor writing.
And i think it then turns into a flute.
Then go to persia and open the basket, use the flute and when the snake comes out drop the flute and grab the snake.
It then becomes a staff, stay in persia and go to the boulder (you need to blow this up with the dynamite), The staff will light the way. I'm not sure which way to go but try to keep going up.

-- Wally

Question #7

-----------
Does anybody know how to solve the adventure "Masquerade"? (What can i do in the theater ?) I dont know, if i will ever finish this fucking game. Please help me, if you have got hints or a walkthrough!!!

Question #8

-----------
Game: Doriath

Question 1:
Where can I found the Quasilin Amulet?
In which cave?
Question2:
I've got the 8 Scrolls Parchement, I'm in dragon ice cave.
What I have to do to win?

Best regards.
-- Marien Gregory

Answer #1

---------
To answer the question about beating the ice dragon here's how to do it: I beat the Ice Dragon today. After reading the scrolls and opening all of the treasure chests I could find, I just ran directly into the ice dragon (kamakazee style) and that's it....I won the game. Like the scrolls say...losing is winning.....

Question #9

-----------
Hi, would you be able to tell me any cheats for Twin Kingdom Valley...
I haven't played it for years...and would you also be able able to tell me how to get past the bit after the witch-what do you need to give to the king to escape?
Are the any websites with the game solution on them?

Thanks so much,
-- Kaz

Answer #1

---------
I don't think there are any cheats as such, and writing down a step by step solution is fairly difficult due to the game's use of random elements. Still, write to me at gunness@dorit.ihi.ku.dk

Regards,
-- Jacob

Answer #2

---------

Question #10

------------
Has anyone ever bothered to play "African Safari"??? It's fairly lousy; still, I'd like to know what to do when I'm out in the boat. Preferrably something like "not falling down a waterfall" :-)

Update Found it out myself, by pure accident :-) You can land your boat on the shore if you select the right monkey in the beginning.
But now I'm stuck again (the game's logic is questionable)! I'm wandering around in a desert and find myself unable to make a map. The guidance from the signs doesn't lead anywhere.

In the game Weird Dreams by Rainbird I'm stuck and can't get past the pyscho little girl with a knife. Any other clues, hints and would be amazing. Thanx so much, I've been stuck for days.

-- Margaret

Answer #1

---------
You are supposed to walk back and forth so that the girl with the knife gets eaten by her own ball. I think you may have to throw it back when the teeth have disappeared from the ball and do it a couple of times, that's what I remember. It's tricky but you'll get it eventually.

Seriously stuck on System 15000.
Just keep going in circles. Has anyone got hints etc...

Thanx
-- Waylander

Question #19

------------
game: DORIATH
company: VIRGIN

Hi,

I've recently remembered this game (DORIATH), and the annoying fact that I was never able to complete the it. I collected all but one of the spells, defeated all the monsters I could, but then didn't know what to do.

I've hooked my 64 up once again to have another crack at this game, but I need help. So here are my questions:
- Where can I find the QUASILIN spell?
- When should I confront the Ice Dragon?
- Is there any other meaning to the scroll, other than to throw yourself at the Ice Dragon?
- How can I defeat the Magusaan in 5I?
I'd appreciate (if possible) just a nudge in the right direction, so as to not spoil the game. I realize this game is a bit dated, but any help would be greatly appreciated.

-- Patrick

Answer #1

---------
It's been a while since I played the game, but here goes - The whole game consists of 256 caves (16x16) and I have been in 255 of them. I did make several maps while playing the game to help me, and the only cave I have NEVER entered is A10 (or maybe it was A11) - anyway, it is guarded by a Quasilin guy at the only entrance which you can't get past, and I can only assume that the Quasilin amulet is in there because it is NOWHERE else. Throwing yourself at the ice dragon is the answer to the scroll - you win the game, but you lose at the same time which is the answer to the scroll since you get trapped in P1.

-- Rob

Question #20

-- Tom

Question #22

------------
How the heck do you survive while playing Sword of Fargoal? I have NEVER beat this game or even come close. Is it even possible?

-- Puck

Answer #1

---------
I remember that game!!!
And yeah...it WAS hard to stay alive.
However, here a few tips...
(1) ALWAYS attack first, even if you're almost out of hit-points. If you are the one to initiate the attack, you can always flee and take time to heal up.
(2) Use "hit and run" tactics to attack and then retreat to heal. This is absolutely essential early on, since you won't have many hit-points.
(2) Clear the first level completely. You need to be in good shape (level 3-4) before thinking of heading down the stairs. You should even think about just spending time hanging out at the temple and waiting for monsters to climb up from below to help you earn EXP's.
(3) Find the temple on each level quickly, and use Beacons starting on level 2 (although you should try to keep one handy in case you need it in a hurry). A beacon lets you teleport directly to the temple...where you can't be hurt by monsters.
(4) I can't remember if the Sword is on level 20, or "somewhere between 15-20" (I only found it a few times, and only made it back once). Once you get up to level 14, you need to quickly find the temple and then some stairs going down, and then heal up at the temple for a dash to the stairs.
(5) Once you actually FIND the sword, there's a time limit (20 minutes??) so don't rest until you absolutely need to, and only attack monsters to keep them from attacking you (don't finish them...just keep them from initiating an attack on you). Just find the stairs back up and head home!!
Hope this helps

-- Samkros

Question #23

------------
I am having trouble with a gane called Maniac Mansion.
Does anyone know how to get the boards to fix the stairs?
and how do you open the safe?
Any help would be appreciated

thanks
-- john

Answer #1

---------
To open the safe you need the 4 digit combination. To get the combination you need to use the telescope to read the tiny writing below the safe.

-- Forrest

Answer #2

---------
I have found an address that has a Maniac Mansion FAQ, it's at

Question #25

------------
I am having problems with wizball. I heard many good things about the game but I can't control the wizball or don't understand how to control it. I just keep on bouncing out of control. Any help would be great.

Thanks,
-- Don

Answer #1

---------
Here is the manual for Wizball from the Project64 archive.
Wizaball Manual

-- Glenn of C64GG

Answer #2

---------
The left and right keys control the spin on wizball. The faster he's spinning, the greater he'll travel when he lands. To stop him, press the opposite direction until he's not spinning any more. Any changes you make to his spin will only affect him when he hits the ground, remember.

Question #26

------------
I have a program called Rendezvous with Rama from 1984 produced by Telarium. It is very difficult and have never been able to complete the game. I there some kink of clue information that I could aquire?

-- charlie

Question #27

------------
There is a game for the 64 out there called "Mail Order Monsters"
Fun game....There are 3 levels you can play at but the best is tournament. The game tries to make an owner disk so you can save your monsters on them...The game attempts to make an owner disk and after finishing...it asks again to put in an owner disk...like a loop...
So...my point to all this is could you find out if you could find a monster disk "image" so i can copy it...the main program cannot make one for some reason....I would greatly appreciate any kind of feed back...

Thanks
-- Todd

Answer #1

---------
I have Mail Order Monsters for my old Commodore. The trick with the ownerdisks is that the program does not format them itself properly; you need to use BASIC and format your own disk. You can use any disk name, but the ID must be "47." I am not familiar with creating disks on an emulator, but the way to properly make an owner disk on a real 64 is:
OPEN 15,8,15,"N0:OWNERDISK,47":CLOSE 15
the 0 after the N is a zero, and OWNERDISK can be changed to whatever you like. Hope this helps.

-- Matt.

Question #28

------------
How in the hell do you beat "The Detective Game"? I have 5 pieces of evidence (the cravate, the note, the will, the knife, and the syringe) but I can't get any more. I have no idea how to get a book from the library or how to avoid being shot when the lights go out. Anyone out there know how to beat this frustrating game? I'd appreciate the smallest bit of info.
-- encino man

Answer #1

---------
The name of the book is 101 detective stories. You'll find it in the library to the left. In the book there's another evidence: a copy of the will. The rest of the evidences are: the bomb(under your bed), wad of notes(doctor's room) ,small bottle(doctor's room), an open locket. You should open Gabriel's locket with the screwdriver in the cellar (You get there through a secret passage). Before pointing out the murderer you should get the elephant gun and the blank bullets from the major's room. Also exchange the blank bullets with the bullets in the study. (To open the door to the study you must have the bunch of keys located in Bentley's jacket in his room). Finally, try to shoot the murderer with the elephant gun, when he appears...

In "Temple of Terror" by Adventure Soft, how do you get past the Serpent Guard at the gates of Vatos? All I can seem to do is kick sand in his eyes. Anything else and he rushes forward and hacks me to bits!

Question #40

------------
In 1984 Melbourne House (Beam Software) released a graphic adventure called Castle of Terror. It is my hope that you can help me out with a hint. In the second section of the game when you have entered the castle, you must kill Dracula and save the maiden. I have stabbed Dracula but he transforms into a bat and flys out the window of the castle tower. To kill him you need a stake which is gained by breaking a spear. However the only spear available cannot be broken. I have heard that there is another spear that you can break but where is it? If you could help me out with this I would be very happy since I've wanted to finish the game for 14 years!!!

Michael lambert

Question #41

------------
I have been playing Impossible Mission II.
I got all 8 tapes and have passed through all eight towers what do I do now? help me i'm obssessed with this game!

thank you.
-- johny

Answer #1

---------
If I remember correctly, there is a door in one corridor, with gargoyle-like statues guarding it. Normally, if you try to enter it, you'll get killed. However, if you have all 8 tapes, you might be able to enter it. If you succeed, you'll arrive in Elvin Atombender's control room. There are 3 computer terminals at the top edge. One of them will abort the missile launch, two will kill you. Get to them and use the correct one (I remember it was the left one, but don't quote me on that.)

-- Joona "I" Palaste

Answer #2

---------
Well the game has 8 towers, and there are 6 different pieces (well they are the same tune with different instruments) of music to collect. Two of them are duplicates.
When you bust a safe open and collect the music inside, go to a corridor screen and check your tape deck. Compare the last piece of music on the tape to all the others you have collected. If it sounds different, then forward the tape to the end ready for the next piece. If it is the same as another piece, forward the tape to the beginning of the one you just got, so next time you grab a piece of music, the old one will be overwritten.
Essentially you are looking to have by the end, a tape recording of six musical pieces (all different), nothing more, nothing less....
This you then play to the main gates in the tower (where the gargoyles are) to allow you access to the final showdown...

-- Mayhem

Answer #3

---------
When arriving in the final room, it's always the terminal on the RIGHT. Don't forget the top lift will crush you to death, if you don't jump off it in time! And you'll need at least one "snooze"-password to pass by one of the robots. (More snoozes are recommended)

Hello, I really need help for finishing the game "The Staff Of Karnath". I can take just 12 pieces of the pentacle; I cannot find the other 4. Moreover I did not find a way to enter in the door guarded by a ugly monster in the "eastern lower tower". What have I to do to solve the game? Help me, please!!!

-- Marco

Answer #1

---------
Staff of Karnath The ugly monster in east tower lower is a vampire. You need the cross to force it to let you through. You can get the cross in upper guard room. Shoot the cross on the wall with 2 different spells (can't remember which, just try) so it falls on the ground and you can pick it up. Go back to east tower lower, the vampire will let you pass.

-- Cepee

Answer #2

---------
16. Found in The Dungeon. Hit the ogre with the Ibrahim spell to stop him for a few seconds when he is furthest away from the piece, rush up to it, grab it and retreat very quickly. You will only lose a bit of energy. 3. Found in The Dungeon. Go to the Dungeon. Baracata the wall between the two lower coffins, avoiding or shooting ghosts. The HURRY back to the main dungeons. There a pleasant surprise will await you. 9. Found in West Tower Lower. You cannot kill the toad, so go to the left and wait until he has jumped to the right. Quickly go to the centre collecting the piece and then go right to safety when the toad jumps left. 8. Found in Lower Guard Room. Enter room by the left. Walk up the right edge of the long table shooting the armour with the Forthrin spell. When you have reached the wall, walk along it to get piece. The armour will retreat right allowing you to get it safely. 4. Found in Great Hall. You must avoid the scimitar and the arrow but you can shoot the axe using Forthrin. Use Abolus to quell the fire and get the piece before the flames return, and the scimitar gets you. 10. Found in Laundry Room. Enter room and quickly get piece before the vampire gets it. 11. Found in The Kitchen. Shoot or dodge the bats to get piece G. 5. Found in The Store Room. Shoot the green spider with Ibrahim. When a ting sound occurs, hurry back to the store room where you will know what to do. 12. Found in East Tower Lower. When the green soul is furthest away from you, quickly get piece. You will lose energy but not much. 14. Found in Upper Guard Room. Avoid or shoot baddy with Forthrin spell to get piece. 2. Found in Timeless Room. Don�t hang around in here too long as it is a great timewaster. Shoot the carpet with the Throbin spell and walk on it to make it fly up so you can get piece K. 13. Found in West Tower Upper. Get piece fast or the invasion troll will appear. If he does then shoot him with Ibrahim. 15. Found in The Treasury. Shoot the snakes with the Knossos spell to make it rise so you can get piece. On returning to the balcony make the snake rise again so the bullets won�t hit you from the snake. 1. Found in Waiting Room. Just wait in the room for piece to appear above the fire. 7. Found in Morning Room. Enter room from the left doorway. wait in the doorway and shoot at the bowl 5 times with the Ibrahim spell. It will fall off the table and will gturn into piece 7. 6. Found in The Library. Shoot piece with Yerobas spell to stop the skeleton appearing when you get it.

Question #46

------------
I have two questions about C=64 games.

1) In "Lazy Jones", I can go to every room EXCEPT the three yellow ones on the right of the top floor. Is it possible to enter these at all? If so, how?

2) Is it possible to make anything do "magic" stuff in the Construction Kit of "Wizard" by Professonial Peripherals & Software? E.g. make treasures create/remove walls when collected and stuff?

-- Joona "I" Palaste

Question #47

------------
I want to know if there are any codes or cheats for Rastan,Shinobi,Crystal Castles,Commando. -- chris deddo

Answer #1

---------
Here is some hints and a poke for Crystal Castles.
--------------------------------------------------
If you don't want all that faffing about on early levels, then run around on to the bck left corner (behind the building) of the first screen and press the fire button. You'll be transported to the first screen of level three and given a 140000 point bonus and two extra lives.

There's also a extra warp on this screen: wear the hat, go up the lift to the top level and run down the hidden ramp until you reach the bottom (in the middle). Press fire and you will be warped to the first screen of level five, netting a 280000 point bonus in the process. This warp is pretty tricky as it requires some nifty timing and some precise control of Bentley to get him in the right position before the hat runs out - the warp does not work if he's not wearing the hat.

Battle through the first two screens of level five and you'll get a to a screen called 'The Crossroads'. Make your way up to the back left of the screen, stand there and press fire to complete the final warp, taking you to the first screen of level seven, increasing your score to 420000 and restoring any lost lives.

The game also has a facility which allows you to carry on from the level on which you died, although you must complete the first screen on that level to be able to return to it, otherwise the warp will take you to the next level down. A door appears in the wall of the first screen - run into it, then press fire to activate the warp. This warp system only takes you as far as level eight (giving a grand score of 490000 when it is used), the last two levels have to be completed from there.

Question #50

------------
I have managed to get to the last level of FireBird's Druid...how does one actually successfully complete the game?

-- LunarDust

Answer #1

You have to defeat the four demon princes(skulls) which you will find on the last four levels. To defeat them cast a chaos spell while touching them. You can also find the maps on my site.

-- Tobias Hultman

Question #51

------------
In the opening sequence of Raid over Moscow, how do I get the hanger dors open for my jet?

-- Steve

Answer #1

---------
You need to hold down F8 and press the joystick button while in the square on the floor, you might also need to be pointing towards the door. To make things easier I used to tape down F8.
Be patient, it's not an exact science.

-- [Unknown]

Answer #2

---------
Actually, for Raid over moscow, you can only open the hangar doors with F8 if you have some altitude whilst you are pressing F8, if you do it on the ground nothing will happen. It took me a little while to figure that out.
What a game!

Question #52

------------
Help! I've been playing Bard Tale 1, (yes it's old, but good), I'm in the 2nd level of the sewers, and sometimes I can get past the beam of light, but other times I can't. I don't know what turns it off. And I can't find the stairs down, I thought they would be past the light, but they're not. What do I need to do? And is there anything else on this level I need to do??? Thanks in advance!

-- Joel

Answer #1

---------
I can't find my hint book about the stairs, but I believe that the beam of light only hits you during the daytime, or else at a certain part of the day (logically, it would be worse at noon, but I'm not sure....) Good luck!

Answer #1

-- Martin Brunner

Answer #2

---------
Nope, the guy was asking about Lords of Midnight, not Loads of Midnight (a parody written for the Spectrum). Actually I do not remember the keys exactly but a manual (which may or may not correspond to the C64 version) and an excellent PC version of the game are available from The Tower of the Moon.

Question #58

Ok it should be easy. I've passed all 6 levels,killed everyone, but I still can't finish The last ninja, first part.

Now I got it on PC, C64 emulator and still can't finish it with all the codes and cheats.

I'm looking for hints and tips for the game R.M.S. Titanic by Electric Dreams. A list of keyboard commands would be great because I can't make the Game do anything, really.

Thanks in advance,
-- Markus

Answer #1

---------
Hi Markus,
I've been playing RMS TITANIC for the past 12 years, and let me tell you your in for a nice hard brain buster...
Anyways, Depending on what type of Emulator your using the keys are slightly different.
I'm using PC64 (600K) but the keys are like this:
[ARROW KEYS] look left/right/up/down
Ctrl (fire button) moves minisub forward into next room
Delete (not backspace) Takes the minisub to the surface when in entry room.
Insert is like the c64s pound key(sell items)
N gives you the name of the room in front of you (helps when your trying to open a door)
R brings your robot arm down/up
{space} opens and closes robot arm
F takes a photo of item in robot arm
L sends object(s) in robot arm to lab
Well i think that's all, feel free to e-mail me with any more questions. As Im still trying to finish it myself, we might be able to help each other.
My E-Mail address is: chopper1@iname.com
Hope this helped......

-- Chopper.
PS.
Just thought I'd let you know, Ive compiled a few maps of the rooms, including items used to open doors, where the items are found, and a list of all the items on titanic (so far). I compiled then into an Excel 95 spreadsheet, so let me know if you want it ok...

Question #63

------------
Hi,
heres my problem:
last ninja 3 level 3 on this level there is a waterfall with a exit behind it. Ive heard that its supposed to be some way to stop the flow. What do i stop it with? and where is that object?

Please help!
-- The lost ninja

Answer #1

---------
To stop the waterfall you need a plug. You can find it on the only wooden bridge in this level (you'll have to jump on it). Use this plug to plug some kind of a vortex (I can't tell you exactly where it is, but it looks like a whirpool and it's in the water on the right of the screen). It would be easier for me to send you a picture with an exact position (it is really stupid place to stand to plug the vortex), but I don't have your email. Try contacting me on netkoji@friko6.onet.pl

-- NETKOJI

Question #64

Question #65

------------
How do I play aliens.

-- bob

Answer #1

---------
I think there are two different Aliens games, but I've only managed to get my hands on one of them. In the one I've played you have a strike team of six marines. I don't now exactly what the objective of the game is but I guess you have to kill the queen ( does anyone have a manual?). The only problem is finding her... the colony is HUGE.
Hit SPACE to go through doors. To change to a different marine hit the first letter in his/her name (except Bishop, I think he is 'I'). Hit 'P' to pause and view your kills. I don't think there are any other key commands.
I'm currently working on a making a map over the colony. You might want to check it out: http://www.digitalfarmers.com/house/c/arkiv/aliens/

Question #67

------------
I've recently been reliving the joys of the C64 with an emulator - what happy memories!
One game I never fully completed was Eureka by Ian Livingstone, the Roman section. I'm stuck after winning the race and being told to greet Nero. If I go to his stand, I get killed. My guess is that this is my invitation to visit him in his palace but I can't get out of the arena.
Anyone know the solution to this?

-- Martin Harran

Answer #1

---------
Yeah, this is a really good one :-)
You simply have to AVE CAESAR to please Nero. This took me _ages_ to figure out! Being forced to say DONE for closing the bet is another example of this game's outstanding parser :-)
If you need more help, the complete solution for Eureka! is here.

Question #68

------------
I'm playing the game Ghostbusters , and I'd like to know how to stop the marshmellow man destroying buildings ,and I'd also like to know how to finish the game.
Thanks

-- Oliver Stanley

Answer #1

---------
To stop the Stay-Puft Marshmallow Man from destroying buildings:
1) Remember to buy Marshmallow Bait.
2) Whenever you see 4 ghosts arrive at the same place together, INSTANTLY press B.
3) Marshmallow Man should now cease to form.
To finish the game:
1) Earn enough money to pay for all your equipment (your money should equal at least the starting amount, maybe 10000) BEFORE Dana Barrett (the Gatekeeper) and Louis Tully (the Keymaster) arrive at ZUUL. An alarm should now go off at ZUUL.
2) Go to ZUUL. Stay-Puft Marshmallow Man should be dancing at the entrance. Try to get 3 men past his legs into the entrance. If you succeed, you will finish the game.

-- Olaf Wagner

Question #71

------------
A few questions here:
Is there anyone out there who knows WHERE exactly to go on Ocean's Rambo (II) once you've got all of the prisoners and you take off in the helicopter? It seems I just fly around looking for the right spot until I run out of fuel. What a waste, considering how hard it is to get to that point without getting killed. By the way, any Pokes or Cheats for that particular game? They sure would help!

Anybody out there have any information on playing Staff of Karnath or Rasputin? Any hints on the above two games would be really appreciated.

Also, on Bruce Lee, any advice on getting through that impossible screen where you have like 4-5 levels and all of them have those little moving dots you have to jump over? I seem to remember 12 years ago when I was able to do it, but now sadly, without a joystick it looks impossible.
Whew!
VTY

-- Jonny The Boy

Answer #1

---------
In Rambo (II), you have to fly the helicopter far to the north. But it's just too damn difficult, right?
Here's a nice cheat: repeatedly hit the RETURN key, and after a while the chopper will go into turbo mode and fly backwards (!) to the right destination at top speed.

-- Jacob Gunness

Answer #2

---------
I think (if I remeber right) if you pull the joystick number 2 (the one you are not using) forward, and then do this on the other joystick too, you get doublew speed when flying the helicopter.

-- ZiLCH

Answer #3

---------
If the little dots are moving in the opposite direction from you, getting past them is easy, just keep jumping diagonally forwards.
If they're moving in the same direction as you, you have to walk normally forwards, until the dots catch up with you. Then jump straight up to allow them to get past you without killing you.
In one place you have to get a lamp from behind the little dots. When you have got the lamp, the dots reverse their direction of movement.

-- Joona "I" Palaste

Question #72

------------
I recently got a C64 emulator so I could play Castles of Dr. Creep, which I loved 'way back when. Trouble is, after the endless load time, it spits me onto one screen with about 10 doors, all locked, and I can't figure out how to move through any of them. I know how to move around using the keypad, but not what makes the doors open (if anything). When the game starts, it does not ask what castle I want to go through, it just gives me this screen with 10 doors. There is a sliding pole that leads to a teleporter, which takes you to the bottom of the screen, but after that I'm stuck.
Any help at all would be greatly appreciated!

-- Psykosa

Answer #1

---------
Slide down the pole and position yourself in the teleporter. Then press the joystick UP to change the colour inside the teleporter, when you then press FIRE on the joystick you will be teleported to the circle with the same colour as the teleporter.

-- Stefan of C64GG

Answer #2

---------
To get to the castle select screen, press either Run/Stop or Restore at the "Castles of Dr. Creep" title screen (I forget which one it was). You can select from about 12 "real" castles or a Tutorial castle.

-- Joona "I" Palaste

Question #73

------------
I have been playing Lords of Midnight. There is an action key that you press that brings up a list of commands such as search, hide, recruit e.t.c. I can't for the life of me find it on the keyboard. The game was given away as a cover tape on zzap 64 in the last few years of the magazines life in that issue is the instructions to the game. I would appreciate it if someone knows or could look it up.

-- Yohan

Answer #1

---------
The key you are looking for is Restore.

Question #75

------------
I've got a question about "Hot Wheels". Is there anything to actually DO in this game, or do I just drive around in my fancy car? Do the fire station and the apartment actually DO anything?

-- Joona "I" Palaste

Answer #1

---------
Hot Wheels: When driving with the car of the fire station you will have to extinguish the fire of a certain house. The house burns when you drive the car or when a certain sound appears. But that's all you can make in the game, the sense is just to drive around.

-- Martin Brunner

Does anyone know what to do in the game firelord by Hewson. I can get 2 charms but can't access some buildings and some screens. I have plenty of cheats and an entire map but I still can't win the game.

-- Redman

Answer #1

---------
Yep, I can help you there. I have a complete map, and it's easy to finish the game in ten or fifteen minutes. There are four shops who sell [I], information on where to find charms. The first two sell 'em for 1 item, and the other sell for 2 and 3 items, respectively. You don't really need to buy the 3-item info though, since that charm is always in one of three places and dead easy to find. Remember to steal *everything*. Yes, information and passage through gates... *everything*.

A question about Time Tunnel:
I nearly completed this ages ago, and now have an emulator so I can try again, but I can't remember something. I'm sure there was some kind of storeroom you could go to, that held objects, but I can't for the life of me remember how to get there. Please help, this is driving me insane.
Please don't direct me to the solution that the last question got sent to, as its incomplete, vague, and often downright wrong.

-- Noodleboy

---------
To go to the store room in time tunnel you simply hold down the joystick button for a few seconds and you eventually be taken there. To go back hold down the button until you return.....

PARADROID: When will this game end? Does anyone know the number of spaceships in this game?
Thank you.

-- Helmut Kalb

Answer #1

---------
This awesome game is one of the best!
So here is what I know:
A game magazine once published an article, which said, that this game has 8 ships, and the achievable hi-score is about 200.000 to 250.000 points. I have achieved about 75.000 points, when dying in the fifth ship. Therefore I wanted to figure out how far it goes: I played PARADROID on the emulator and "saved the game" very often to go on and on. Finally I played about 15 (fifteen) ships - with no end!
That's all I know.
My suggestion is that the magazine talked about the special edition (which was faster and more difficult). I never tested this one...
Have fun !

Answer #1

Sounds like your version is not working. Download a new from: this site. By the way: you only need 6 out of the 8 tunes. 2 of them are copies and have to be erased. Just rewind your tape to the beginning of that particually tune and it will be erased next time you pick up a tune.

-- Louie

Question #107

---------
In Alternate Reality: The Dungeon, how do you defeat the wyrm without using everything you have a dying.

-- ACusick

Answer #1

---------
You need to be at an exceptionally high level to defeat the wyrm. You will also need some form of healing yourself (preferably Gold Horns as the Healing Wand won't cover the 50-60 damage he hits you for. Make sure the Horns are genuine and not the fakes that summon 8 Berzerkers to your location). As for attack, cast Temporal Fugue (Ozob gives this to you in the Palace Prison) and then blast him twice with the Gauss Rifle (Found after solving the mausoleum on level 2). You will do massive amounts of damage, but the wyrm, I believe, has well over a thousand hit points. Repeat this process until somebody is defeated. I have also found that using your Bare Hands with the Fugue spell works surprisingly well against it. If you have any more questions, you can e-mail me at sabotaj@aol.com and I'll do my best to answer them.

Question #108

---------
How do I get past the third robot in "Short Circuit" - By now i have gone back past the 2nd one to get the security docs out of the locked cabinet, then gone back using the pass card - what do i have to do with the construction rom, security docs, password and computer protocols?

-- MacGyver

Answer #1

---------
To get past the third robot you need 3 things: the computer protocals, a password, and a security document. Find the desk key at a computer terminal (second one I think after second robot), open the drawer to the right that is locked. Get the computer protocals. Get the password in the first bookshelf. There is another locked desk, find it and open it with the desk key to get a set of keys. Go to the left of the second robot (have the passcard with you) where there is a locked file cabinet. The security document is in there. Use the passcard to get past the second robot again. Go to the second computer terminal. Use the password to log onto the computer, use the computer protocals to interface with it and finally use the security document to turn off the alarm. Doing so will allow you to jump past the third robot.

-- Mike

Answer #2

---------
To get past the third robot you must have: -the password -the computer protocols -the security docs Go near the computer in the "room" containing the second robot (the first computer on a desk that you find after the second robot). You must be NOT in front of the keyboard, but in front of the right drawers. Now you must: 1) utilise\input the password The computer will answer:"LOG ON" 2) utilise\input the computer protocols The computer will answer:"LINK ACHEIVED" 3) utilise\input the security docs The computer will answer:"GENERAL ALARM OVERIDED. LOG OFF" Done!

Question #114

---------
In the C64 version of Karateka, when I get to the dungeon and beat the first man down there, I try to pass the door but it won't let me go through. An invisiable barrier. This has been confounding me for over 12 years now. How do you get past this invisiable barrier?!
I would really appriciate a solution. Thanks.

-- Captain Chaos

Answer #1

---------
In karateka once you come to a door or gate (sorry, i dont know the expression for that thing) the "gate" will kill you if you try to walk or run under it to get to the next section. so just walk slowly towards the "gate" (always be prepared to walk backwards) when you come closer the "gate" will shut, but you can balance between forward and backward and so you wont be killed.and so the game goes on important!! i think now i remember!! (if above trick doesnt have any effect) you can do one or two steps followed by some kicks just try kicking around in front of the "gate" to make it shut without you under it. it will open again slowly now walk!
later you will have to fight the falcon of the lord this is like beeing in las vegas try your luck! my hint: train a lot and learn the "timming" of the falcon. only beeing very close to the door where the falcon comes out he will fast enough return (his "timming"!) to be defeated
in the last fight it is very important that you have learned that you are able to punch while walking have a step forward and have a step backwards repeating it all the time.so you can land hits without beeing hit. if done correctly. watch your timming!!!
this is the true way of the Karateka.

-- patrick

Answer #2

---------
Karateka: 2 additional things i forgot!!
doors in dungeon can be kicked open!! and the last thing: when you have defeated the evil warlord akuma you may enter the princesses cell. but dont come too close to her while WALKING!!! cause this means to her you wanna hurt her. (because you are in fighting stance while walking) so she will kill you with one kick of herself enter her cell bei RUNNING --> happy end!!

I found an old copy of an early game call "Dungeons BA" in one of the ancient stacks under the C64 desk. I like to explore old games and this one had some "instructions" at the beginning. I've played the game a couple of hours, off and on over the past 2 weeks.. and I have proudly worked up to the rank of Swordsman in my last couple of attempts.. but there is one section of the castle blocked by 4 flashing traps which I can't get past.. I make it past the first 3 with carefully timing my moves.. but the 4th seems to be impossible as I always get zapped!. What's the secret? I bet finally winning the game is just beyond that 4th zapper.

Pirates by Micropose - cannot reload saved game . does not recognise disk 1 when reinserted in pc (c64s , ccs ) .drive d win95 compressed
Impossible mission - one scene the robots hit you from all angles .otherwise ok
super cycle , wizard of oz and some program dont work on the pc c64 emulators

-- David

Answer #1

---------
On emulators there are plenty of malfunctions... ;o)
Here is an explanation on Impossible Mission 1:
In almost every single game there are two rooms, in which you die after a short amount of time. There are only aprox. 5 rooms that actually can be "Rooms of Death", so you'll know them by some time...
The tactics say:
Leave these rooms behind and search the others first. You then know the exact amount of puzzle-pieces you still have to find. (max. 36 pieces = 4 per letter, 9 letters) Then, enter room and use a snooze (2 per room should do it), you will not die, until the snooze-time is over...

Please help ! I really got stuck in the adventure game "Castle of terror". I once played this game about 9 years ago on the C64 but hardly achieved anything. I recently downloaded it from the net to play it again and hopefully end it (at last). But still I didn't manage to enter the castle. I've already searched almost the whole web but nowhere found a solution for this interesting game and even am not sure whether it can be solved at all.
I'd appreciate any help given (even a list of all possible commands, as I have no documentation and the game parser doesn't seem to understand much words)!

In Faery Tale Adventure. How do get into the "Hidden City" to get the Rose (which protects you from the lava pits). I know where the Hidden City is. How do I get the Rose?
thanx,

-- Tom

Answer #1

---------
Dear Tom
I have the solution to your problem...
Despite sometimes being able to see "Azal Car Ithil" - the Hidden City (it is meant to always be invisible) you have to gather 5 golden statues to be able to go into any of the doors (green keys are also necessary). These are scattered at several different places throughout the map of Holm. No doubt you have collected some of them but not known what they are for. The statues are at:
1. The priest in Marheim (in one of the little buildings)will give you one if you ask him to (hint get this one last as the priest will heal your wounds [restore you to perfect health] as many times as you want until you have his statue, after that he won't do anything for you).
2. Up in the Grimwood area there is a distinct clearing in the trees (not far from Vermillion Manor) and there looks there has been a fight or a sacrifice or something (bodies and bones all around). One of the statues is here as well as a large pile of gold coins - handy. Use the swan to get there - it's too hard to walk unless you've got loads of Bird Totems.
3. There are some castles around the south-eastern part of Holm. One of them (which, if I recall correctly does not have a path to it) has the statue inside in the middle of the floor.
4. On the Isle of Sorcery (just north of Holm) the sorceress (who is in the crystal castle [blue key]) will also give you one.
5. The last one is in the Tombs of Hemsath. In an Octagonal room ("Julian came to an octaconal room") there is a gold statue sitting in the middle of the table. The octagonal room is in the same maze that the bones of the ancient king are in. It's not easy to find but there is a cheat that enables you use Bird Totems inside buildings (you'll have to find the cheat for yourself though).
You don't have to collect them in any particular order - you just have to have them all. When you have them, you will be able to see Azal and (using green keys) be able to get inside. The rose is in one of the buildings. Once you have it, lava won't be a problem. Of course, when you're walking through the Plains of Grief and being chased by enemies, you can stand in the middle of a lava pit. They, of course will ignore the lava and come for you - dying in the lava without you lifting a finger - watch for bowmen though.

If you have any further questions about game play on this game do not hesitate to send me an email. I think I last played this game on my Amiga in 1992 - all that was from memory. I have played it many times and know just about everything about it. BTW, if you know where I can download a free copy of it for the PC I would be much obliged.

You need to create a character disk. The easiest way to do this is in your file manager, copy any D64 file and rename it char.D64 (for example). Then when you're prompted to enter the character disk, hit F9 and select the new file you've created.

Hi!
Thanks for answering my question on how to start playing Dr Creep ; I've been doing it for a while now, and I'm wondering if there's a "save game"-key somewhere around. I thing there is, because there's a "resume game"-option in the castle selection screen. Could you tell me what key or keycombination initiates a "save game"-option ? Thanks alot !

-- Erwin

Answer #1

---------
In Dr. Creep you can only save when you are entering a new room. With ccs64 emulator when you are at the map screen press "ESC" key before pressing the "Fire" button on the gamepad. This will give you the option of saving. Remember you can't save to the master disk so make sure to choose a blank disk in the F9 menus before going to the save menu.

Hello everyone!
I am a computer user since 1983 and started with a C64. I have a question about the game Frankie Goes To Hollywood. When playing the game for some time and reaching 50-60% personality, I can't find any items in the rooms anymore... HOW can I solve the game / What's the goal? Thank you for helping me.

-- Ice

Answer #1

---------
The purpose of Frankie is to become a real person. In order to do that you must win each and every subgame and solve the murder case. You also have to explore the Corridors of Power (found behind the locked door). It's possible to make all 4 "bars" reach the top, but that won't necessarily make you win the game.

Question #167

---------
Help! I am looking for the solution of Project Firestart.
Who can help me? Thank you very much.

-- Federico

Answer #1

---------
The main goal is 1) find the tape 2) set the self-destruct and 3) leave the ship. There is of course more to do, but this is enough to "win". You can also save the girl (the ending is then much better!:-)))
The tape (together with two ID cards) is in the Lab, 3rd floor. The main computer is on the 4th floor, take the elevator next to the lab. The escape shuttle is on the 1st floor, from the double elevator on the 2nd floor go left to corridor A, then again left and on the end of this corridor go "down". Take a lift to 1st floor and hurry to the right before the creatures kill you.
I plan to create a complete solution and some maps and post it somewhere on the web, cause this is my all-time best!

Question #168

---------
I used to play a game on the c=64 that was called Crillion. It's an Arkanoid type game. My problem is that in some levels, there were always one or two indestructible blocks and, somehow, I had to destruct them in order to finish the level.
I've never past those levels (the game had a built in level chooser so I could get further in the game). Does anyone know how to break those blocks (I remember on the 1st level, it was a cyan block on the second row of blocks, near the row of skull blocks)

Question #169

---------
I need some help with the bull-riding in World Games. I don�t have the manual to the game and I don�t know what joystick movements that shall be used in the bull-riding. I�ve tried many but I just keep falling off after 0:94.

-- Christoffer

Answer #1

---------
I think the manual is at http://project64.c64.org/. If the bull moves right => just press right, if it moves left => left, if it makes a turn => up or down (depends on the turn it makes).

Hi,
long ago, I've forgotten.. How can I fill up my fuel in Fort Apocalypse? I remember the Helicopter moving down with this fuel box. But each time I try to land I crash..
Any hint is very appreciated, thanks in advance :)
Bye

-- Gerrit

Answer #1

---------
If I remember correctly, you can land safely when you turn your helicopter in a way that it faces you. If that doesn't work, the game may be buggy.

Question #173

---------
I am playing Dr. Creep on a ccs64 emulator. In the old days (on a real 64) when I got to certain areas that I could no defeat / escape from I remember being able to "self-destruct" or force my player to die so that I could reenter the room. I can't seem to find any key combination to do this. Does anyone know of a way of forcing a death??? I guess I could save before entering every room, but that's annoying.

-- Gerald "GDOGG" Gillespie

Answer #1

---------
I think the key was either Run/Stop or Restore. But as you're playing on an emulator, I'm not sure which key on the emulator maps them to.

Question #174

I'm having a problem with the game Autoduel, and I was wondering if anyone else has had a similar experience. (I'm running the game on CCS64 with DOS). Whenever I start an Amateur Night duel, I can't get my car to move forwards. It seems like it is stuck on a barricade or something. Anyway, I know the problem isn't with the joystick configuration, because it works fine in the other parts of the game. Any help would be greatly appreciated, because I'm eager to start playing this game. Thanks,

I've just recently obtained a copy of Alternate Reality: the City & the Dungeon.. I'm playing the Dungeon at the moment. I used to play this game about 12 years ago, and it was one of my favourites. Unfortunately, I can't remember any of the tricks to staying alive long enough to get above level 2. If anyone could provide hints or cheats for this game, that'd be great.

I got stuck with the game Miami Vice by Ocean. It's a cool kind of game (you've to chase drug sellers and catch drug rings around Miami), excellent music, but I can't play it !! I mean, I never find drug sellers on the streets or in the stores. I can just see normal cars and the stores are empty. I even play for hours, scoring no points and getting bored. Could you show me the way to play or send me instructions ? They're not available on official sites !

-- Livius

Answer #1

---------
I used to have Miami vice on my old c64 and now I have another go with the game using the css64 emulator.
I remember there was a list of places and dates/times. If you were at the right time at the right place there was a chance (??) that there was evidence or a suspect at that place

I am playing gostbusters on c64 and need cheat codes and help!

-- Gostbusters

Answer #1

---------
I seem to recall there was a cheat.
It goes like this: when the game starts, do not enter anything when it asks for your name. Then, for the account number, type 457. This will give you some serious cash.

-- Leif Geijer

Answer #2

---------
I think you find a cheat at http://pokes.c64.org/

-- Martin Brunner

Answer #3

---------
Type your name as "LM" and your account number as "LM102030". (Don't include the quotes.) You should get lots of money. If that doesn't work, try replacing the "L" letters with "1" numbers.

The name of the game is "Zak McKracken and the Alien Mindbenders", not "Zak McKraken - the Alien Mindbender". Zak is trying to save the human race from stupidity, not enslave it by stupidity!

-- Joona "I" Palaste

Answer #1

This is no riddle to solve, this is a copy protection. The original game has a folder with those codes printed. If you play an emulator version on the PC, it is probably cracked and you can enter every code.

I'm stuck with Shard of Inovar and can't seem to find any hints or solutions anywhere on the net. How can I get the fire amulet from the altar? Where could I find a walkthrough?

-- Riksa

Answer #1

---------
There ARE no guides on the net, only the one i made today! I was stuck on the same bit for 10 years (admittedly with a 9 year gap), but i finally completed it. You can find my guide here:
http://members.theglobe.com/oecumenix/shard.txt
or if that doesn't work, ask at my site:
http://members.theglobe.com/oecumenix/monkey/default.html
The answer to your specific question:
To get the amulet you have to place the statue of Vulcat in the font (the clue is given by the sparkling stones in the ashes). This won't work, however, if you tried to GET the hand of hiding; you have to give it (well, the hole) the shard. Sunquat does not take kindly to thieves....
