When you Operate the chair that holds the key, it tells you that as you sit down you feel a sharp pain in your derriere. I took it as an indication that something was hidden below the upholstery, so I ripped it apart. Meanwhile, the servant's fear of spiders is hinted at by his room being the only room in the house "free of dust and cobwebs", though I agree it's still too obscure :-)Charleshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04860506019349657883noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3387495443226852794.post-65760079978315898612012-02-03T18:15:50.834+11:002012-02-03T18:15:50.834+11:00I hope you haven't succumbed to the horrors th...I hope you haven't succumbed to the horrors that live in the haunted mansion and lost your mind. I just had a disappointing evening when I found the save file for the game I'm playing was corrupted and had me starting at the beginning of the game again. I played right up to where I left off, and didn't feel like playing anymore. I look forward to better news from you, even if it is one room or puzzle worth of progress.Zenic Reveriehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16441583549326102945noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3387495443226852794.post-73909819962139535512012-02-02T16:14:27.900+11:002012-02-02T16:14:27.900+11:00Another idea is you might want to try playing the ...Another idea is you might want to try playing the games on ScummVM: It emulates the engine, not the hardware, so you can freely switch between versions of the game from what I understand, though I don't know if save files move around. That would let you do comparison screenshots and such more easily. Not all games are supported, but it might bypass dosbox issues in some games.Canageekhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03770924810559440307noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3387495443226852794.post-57956461602202868262012-02-02T16:08:11.981+11:002012-02-02T16:08:11.981+11:00I like Andy_Panthro's suggestion: Play until i...I like Andy_Panthro's suggestion: Play until it becomes no fun, then move on and play the remake. Also: I'd suggest asking us for hints as a bunch of us appear to have played it. Well, not me, the only adventure games I've gotten anywhere in were the Submachine games (Online flash games) and Beneath a Steel Sky, which I never finished. <br /><br />Also: yay! I'm caught up on your blog, and it took less time then the CRPG Addicts blog (Probably because you only have two months of posts vs over a year)<br /><br />If you don't mind requests I'd like a bit more detail on some of the puzzles you are solving as you go, and more detail on the plots. You talk about Tass Times in Tonetown not making sense, but we don't really know why as you don't document the plot at all. Anyway, just my $0.02CDN.Canageekhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03770924810559440307noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3387495443226852794.post-6005658566240068632012-02-01T08:51:37.631+11:002012-02-01T08:51:37.631+11:00I suppose if you get too stuck and don't want ...I suppose if you get too stuck and don't want to continue, you could abandon the game (if your six hours are up). You have the option of the 1991 windows remake, if you wanted to return to it later (since it will take you a while to get through the next four years of games!).Andy_Panthrohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18231815646876343380noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3387495443226852794.post-56520372207485847462012-02-01T08:31:08.565+11:002012-02-01T08:31:08.565+11:00I like to know how puzzles are supposedly solvable...I like to know how puzzles are supposedly solvable without resorting to chucking every item at the problem. I did a little looking around, and so far everyone complains that it's never hinted at that the servant is afraid of spiders. I'm not sure how someone is supposed to figure that out.Zenic Reveriehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16441583549326102945noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3387495443226852794.post-66689461921690555142012-02-01T03:09:59.660+11:002012-02-01T03:09:59.660+11:00Well... there's an item that the key-waving go...Well... there's an item that the key-waving goblin likes. It's in the Magisterium. You do need to do something in the greenhouse first though, so ignore the goblin for the time being. You'll need to use a spell to get past the dogs. Somewhere past there is the item that you need to get into the Magisterium. Hint: You'll need to use another spell along the way. If I missed/forgot part of an entry of yours, my apologies, but you really need the spells in this game. I think about 1/4 of the obstacles you come across are defeated by spells. I hope I didn't reveal too much. In any case, good luck!Amy K.https://www.blogger.com/profile/10892876651484617812noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3387495443226852794.post-85307011719420759432012-02-01T02:36:32.282+11:002012-02-01T02:36:32.282+11:00I don't know if you could call Shadowgate hard...I don't know if you could call Shadowgate harder. I guess you could, but I wouldn't; Shadowgate is a game I was actually able to get through. :D<br /><br />My experience is grounded in the NES versions though, so maybe it is easier there. You'll be happy to know they removed the hard time limit in Shadowgate and instead give you torches to find that act as mini-timers.<br /><br />I wouldn't worry about being stuck unless it's for more than a week. You're making such quick progress that you'll probably be done with this project in 2 years. ;) If you're truly stuck though, I'd say describe your situation and see if anyone has any hints.<br /><br />Yes, the amulet isn't needed until a good way into the game, but if you get there without it, it would mean starting all over again.Zenic Reveriehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16441583549326102945noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3387495443226852794.post-41869318811032896182012-01-31T23:04:42.729+11:002012-01-31T23:04:42.729+11:00Thanks for the compliment, although your comment r...Thanks for the compliment, although your comment regarding Shadowgate being even harder is a bit depressing right now.
