PLFRmnLQSn, LSnBRGnSLQ, LKmCTKSCDF, STBnLmRCHL, RCHLmCLRMS, THBSTSTFTT ANOTHER WORLD 1 of 2 : LEVEL 1 - THE MOUNTAINS: When you appear after the experiment, you are beneath a lake, so push up to swim to the surface. When you reach the top, walk right onto the next screen before the creature pulls you back into the water. On the next two screens, deadly slugs fall from the ceiling and crawl towards you, so finish them all off with low kicks (the black bug is harmless). When you reach the end screen, walk right until the black bear/lion/panther or whatever it is appears, at which point you should run like the wind to the left. Keep running as fast as you can until you reach the rock overhang next to a vine. Leap onto the vine in order to escape from the creature. When the vine breaks it will drop you off to the right, run right as fast as possible until you are knocked down. Two strange guards will come on, shoot the lion and then take you prisoner. LEVEL 2 - THE PRISON: You will now wake up in a cage with the alien that saved you from the lion-type thing. When the view pulls back, push the joystick left and right in time with the swinging to cause the cage to rock from side to side. Eventually, the cage will break and the cage will fall onto the guard. When your new friend runs away, bend down to pick up the gun then run after him. It might be an idea to read the section on USING WEAPONRY to find out how the gun works at this point. Shoot the guard, then follow your friend left. Run back to the right until your mate starts trying to unlock the door. Face left and put up a shield, then keep blasting away at the guards until the door is open. Put up a final shield, then run right. When you are both on the lift, go all the way down to the bottom of the shaft (you could go to the top and look at the view first if you want). Go to the left and shoot the power switch on the wall, then go back to the lift. Wait for your friend and go up one floor. Go left and blast the door with a big beam, then drop down through the teleport panel. Walk onto the next screen and wait for your mate. When he appears, go up through the teleport and walk left. When he catches up, your friend will open the sewer, at which point you should drop down and roll off the bottom of the screen. The sewer pipes are dark, with only your immediate vicinity being lit at all, meaning that a nasty fall could occur, so check TITANIC_GRAPHICS_DISK_#1 file #002 to find the way out. When you drop into the next corridor, go left into the Gun Charging Room. Go to the right and blast away the three shield doors with big beams. Recharge your guns once more then run to the right. Go through the tunnel towards the daylight, and as soon as you come out of the doorway, blast the guard. Carry on to the right and stop on the very end of the broken bridge. Leap as far as you can to the right to try and land on the ledge below. If you fail and land on the spikes, then you'll have to try and get closer to the edge of the bridge. When you land, blast a hole in the wall on the right and walk into the caves. SECTION 3 - THE CAVES: Walk right and drop down the shaft, then drop down the next hole on the right. Walk off the right hand side of the T-shaped rock and continue to the right. Jump off the ledge, over the spikes and run halfway onto the next screen. Quickly run a short way back to the left, then judge the timing to get safely past the first rock. Wait until you can rush under the second rockfall, then run onto the next screen until you are hidden behind the big rock. Wait until the next two rocks hit the floor at the same time, then run to the middle of the screen. Watch the timing of the next rock, then run underneath. Remember to look out for the tentacle monster and run left about halfway up the slope. Turn around and get a big beam ready. When the tentacle monster comes back down, blast it to smithereens. Go right, run past the tentacles and jump over the mouths that are in the floor. Head to the right, kill all the tentacles with big beams and jump over the mouths. When you reach the shaft, do two small jumps to get past the hole and the mouth, then run right until you reach a wall. Blast the wall away then head back to the left, watching out for mouths and tentacles, until you reach the falling rocks once more. Run up the slope and continue to the top of the slope on the next screen. Turn off to the right and fire at the pterodactyl. He should then wake up and start flying around. Go left and then jump across the stalactites. Keep jumping from one to the next until you are on the one next to the tentacle monster. When the pterodactyl is drawn up by the creature, jump across to the remaining stalactites and jump off the left hand side of the screen. You should now be on top of the T-shaped rock. Run off the left hand side, then face the right and blow the support away. Run up the slope to the upper cave. Go to the right, jumping all the holes until you reach a cave with a load of water above. Stand on the far left and blow the supporting rocks away. Quickly run to the left, jumping the holes as you go (tricky) until you are standing on the stone panel to the left. The water should blast you up to safety. Run up the slope to the right and blow the door away, then run past the waterfall. SECTION 4 - THE TEMPLE: You should now be in a room with a tunnel beneath, where your friend is calling. Walk down the steps on the next screen and put up a shield. Blast the guard that appears and then run right. Jump over the stairwell and continue right until you reach three security doors with a guard behind them. Walk forward but DON'T open the doors! Put up a shield, then take a step towards the door to open them. As soon as the guard launches a bomb, walk left so that the doors close. The bomb will bounce off the doors and kill the guard. Once he's dead, run to the right and blast the door away. Go right and up through the teleport. Recharge your gun in the chamber, then go back through the teleport and off to the right. Crouch down and wait. Watch the reflection in the glass orb, then wait until the guard has stopped walking and is directly beneath the orb. Shoot the rope from a crouch and listen to make sure that it hits him. If it doesn't, he'll start shooting at you, so fo left and re-enter the screen to try again. Go back to the left and go down the first set of steps. Drop through the teleport and face left. Don't, whatever you do, go right! Put up a shield and kill the guard that appears, then head left until you reach a large chamber with steps on the left. Go to the top of the steps and face right. Shoot the ropes so that the lights fall down, then go back to the right. Continue right under the teleport, at which point a guard will come on and punch you in the face. When he picks you up and starts talking, push left and press . He will then drop you, so run left and pull down to perform a stunt roll and pick up the gun. Keep pulling down and press when you get into a crouch to kill the guard. Run onto the next screen until you are in the second archway. Put up a shield to your left then quickly put one up to the right. Blast both the guards (this isn't easy, so be patient), then go right to the pool of water. Swim down to the bottom of the pit and go left into the cave. Keep swimming left until you reach a cave with two shafts above. Swim up the left shart to get some air, then swim down the lower shaft into another cave. Climb onto the ledge on the right and shoot the power cable. Now swim back up to the top of the pit where you dived in. Go to the right and climb out of the water. Go right, past the concussed guard and drop down the shaft. As soon as you hit the floor, face right and blast the door away, then leg it! Keep running through the doors until you reach a dead end. Face left and put up a shield, making sure that it's to the left of the trapdoor in the ceiling. Blast the guards that come in and make sure you're shield doesn't run out. Eventually, your mate will reach down and grab you, pulling you to safety. When you are in the upper room, wait for the ceiling to crumble so that the rocks fall on the guards below, then go right into the black tank. After the tank has rolled out into the arena, a window will appear in the top left of the screen. Hit the bottom button to call up more controls, then hit the bottom left button, then the top green button to the left of the red one. The escape pods will then be launched. SECTION 5 - THE TOWER: As soon as the pod has landed and you jump out, run quickly to the right. After you come out of the doorway, put up a shield and kill the four guards that come on, then run to the right. Keep running right, past the window that your friend bursts through, until the ground is blown from beneath you. A guard will catch you and fling you against the wall. After he has kicked you onto the next screen, quickly crawl right by pushing the joystick to the right. Don't touch yet! After a struggle, the guard will throw your friend off the ledge, leaving him dangling by his fingertips. When the guard wins the middle of the screen, press and push right to pull the level. The guard will then be destroyed. Press and right to pull another lever, then quickly crawl to the left. When you reach the shaft of light you will be transported to the roof and pass out with exhaustion. Your friend will then appear and whisk you off to safety on the back of a giant prehistoric bird. USING WEAPONRY: The gun can be used in three main ways: 1 - SINGLE SHOT - Press and quickly release so that a single laser blast is fired. This is useful for breaking ropes, disconnecting power cables and destroying enemy personnel. 2 - SHIELD WALL - Hold down until an energy ball appears, then release the button. This causes a shield to be put up, which will only stop laser shots (including your own), allowing guards and bombs to pass on through. 3 - BIG BEAM - Hold down so that the energy ball swells and begins to hum, then release the button which causes a big beam to be fired. Useful for destroying doors, some walls and enemy energy shields. CLOSE COMBAT: When fighting guards, try to put a shield up before entering combat. You will also, more than likely, be safer if you crouch down while fighting. Enemy guards will tend to use a lot of shields, so master the use of the Big Beam to destroy them. The key to this: crouch down, put up a shield, use a big beam to destroy their shields and fire a quick volley of laser blasts to finish them off. If your shield begins to thin out when you are still under attack, put up another one quickly. 2 of 2 : Level 1 - EDJI Level 2 - HICI Level 3 - FLLD Level 4 - LIBC Level 5 - CCAL Level 6 - EDIL Level 7 - FADK Level 8 - KCIJ Level 9 - ICAH Level 10 - FIEI Level 11 - LALD Level 12 - LFEK ANT HEADS (IT CAME FROM THE DESERT II) 1 of 1 : DAY 1: Gather as much information from Biff and Dusty on the first day, but if you've got the information from previous games then don't worry, as it doesn't change. Get into your car and go to the KBUG radio station. Dusty will tell you of the latest ant attack to occur and will give you a Geiger counter and a gun. Hang around for a while until the afternoon, then go round to the Platt University lab, where you will meet the boy Billy and his rather strange father. When they start talking to you, ignore the gibberish that his dad speaks but listen carefully to what Billy has to say. If you want further information then try asking the fortune tellers and expect to get home around eight o'clock. DAY 2: Go out to the KBUG radio station again, where Dusty will tell you about a threat from the G-men. Go back to the lab afterwards, where Billy once again provides some useful information. At about one o'clock go to Neptune Hall, where you'll find that Billy Bob has managed to sprout a rather fetching set of antennae. Pull out your gun and blast his antennae off. When he comes around he will give you an important number, so make a note of it. DAY 3: You should wake up at nine o'clock when Jakie comes round and knocks on the door. Unfortunately, your early morning visitor is one of the Ant-heads, so get the trusty old gun working and write down the number again. Go to the Ore Plant and befriend the manager by selecting choice A at the appropriate time. Take the train to section M-3 and do the business against the ants, then get back to the lab for some more useful info from Billy. Go to the Police Station and get the old 'he must have tripped on his shoelace, your honour' treatment so you get knocked unconscious. When you wake up, the nurse will give you the position of the vault. Go to the vault and get the records containing the conversion process, then make a run for it. DAY 4: Drop by Elma's and when he becomes an Anthead blast his stalk to get the last number. Now you have all three numbers, try and get into the hospital any way you can (preferably without injury). Get the lift to the basement and find the morgue in the top right-hand corner - you can spot it by the four black slabs and the safe. Enter the numbers in the order you recieved them and you should be able to get the secret documents which will cause the realisation of the Antheads' existence, so now you can take them on face-to-face. APIDYA 1 of 1 : Type the following codes on the title screen followed by . MISSHONEYBEE - to start the game on Level Two HASTALAVISTA - to start the game on Level Three DEPUTYOFLOVE - to start the game at level four SNEAKPREVIEW - to start the game at level five SHOWCREDITS - to see the end-of-game sequence NOTE: it is possible that the cheats for level three and four are in the wrong order APPRENTICE 1 of 1 : Press and then type one of the following passwords: DRUID, WIZARDS, SPELLS or FAERIE. Could someone write and tell me which each does. AQUATIC GAMES 1 of 1 : 100M SPLASH: Run along the top of the water, then jump over the pelican. He will fly off, then come and carry you over half of the course. If you knock all three toucans off, two pelicans will carry you in turn. In one-player mode, don't start running, just let the penguin kick you until you fall into the water. This will give you a 10,000 point bonus and reset your time. JUGGLING: Rotate joystick madly to juggle all five balls. SHELL SHOOTING: Go to the right, then jump on the jelly limpet. You will go through the roof, where there is a king limpet, bonuses and limpet mines. BOUNCY CASTLE: A forward or backward somersault followed by a twist will give you a spring box. Use this to gain greater height. Do a twist at the top of your jump to go through the roof for bonuses. HOP, SKIP & LONG JUMP: Make the final jump and keep waggling while in the air for greater distance. If you get a really long jump, prepare for a surprise... UNICYCLE: Rotate the joystick slowly and steadily instead of maniacally. FEEDING TIME: If butterfly hits fish, you will get a 1000 point bonus. Time throwing sweets to the fish so that you trap butterfly between fish for a bonus. KIPPER WATCHING: Leave the clock and let it ring for a large bonus - watch the seals though... ARCHIPELAGOS 1 of 1 : When you are asked to select an Archipelago, choose 8241 and press twice. Now you can select any island from 1 to 9999 to play on. ARKANOID 1 of 2 : Pause the game with , type DSIMAGIC and then press again to unpause. A yellow `DS' capsule should fall from the centre of the screen so catch it. Now you can activate any of the weapons by pressing the keys: - break (opens gates and awards bonus points) - catch (holds ball) - disruption (split into three balls) - expand (makes vaus larger) - to confront Doh - laser (a laser to be used with the mouse button)

- extra player - slow (slows down ball) - skip a level 2 of 2 : For an extra 33 levels of play, press instead of for a one player game, or instead of for a two player game. ARKANOID II: THE REVENGE OF DOH 1 of 5 : Hold down the while the game is loading and after a while the RoboCop title screen will appear. Now let go of the button and the game will begin. Now, when you die, type in ROBOCOPPER on the title screen and you start from where you left off. 2 of 5 : On the high-score table enter your name as DEBBIE S (including the space) for infinite lives. 3 of 5 : When the title screen appears press , type MAGENTA and press while playing to open the gates to the next level. 4 of 5 : On the title screen, type PETEJOHNSONWANTSCHEAT and press to open the exits at any point. 5 of 5 : Before starting a game, press and type DALEY88 for infinite lives. ARMALYTE 1 of 1 : Pause the game, enter DELTA3 and the score panel at the bottom of the screen will change colour. When you unpause you should either have infinite lives or be invulnerable. Be careful though, because the blue pods can still kill you unless you blow them open before running into them. ARMOUR-GEDDON 1 of 1 : When in the HQ, access the message screen. Move the arrow so that it points to the first letter of the message highlighted in yellow. Now hold down and press the . The words `You Wouldn't Let it Lie!' should appear, indicating that the cheat is active. The cheat makes your craft invincible and gives you unlimited firepower and fuel as well. ARMY MOVES 1 of 4 : Type KARENBROADHURST on the title screen and a message should appear verifying that the cheat is active. Now when you start a game, the game, either the collision detection has been removed or you have infinite energy. 2 of 4 : On Level One hold down , <1> and for invincibility. 3 of 4 : On Level Two hold down , <1> and for invincibility. 4 of 4 : The code for Part One is 101069 ARTHUR: THE QUEST FOR EXCALIBUR 1 of 1 : PART 1: Bob Bates is quickly becoming one of my favorite authors. His first effort for Infocom (SHERLOCK) was so rich in atmosphere and so well written, the player found himself immersed in the England of Sherlock Holmes. ARTHUR has the same power to draw you into the story and make you believe you're about to become the famous King. You find yourself in the Graveyard, attempting to draw the legendary Excalibur from the rock in which it has been embedded for so long. Just as you feel the sword start to give, Merlin appears and tells you the true story of your birth. He tells you that before you can ascend to the Throne of England, you must prove yourself worthy. Then he vanishes, leaving behind only a torque: The Quest for Excalibur has begun! GET TORQUE THEN EXAMINE IT. You will find that a torque is a kind of necklace, and this one has strange crystals embedded in it. EXAMINE CRYSTAL. Merlin will appear and tell you that by looking in the crystal you can obtain help from him (hints). However, you can also take temptation out of the way by typing HINTS OFF, which will remove the hints until you reboot the game. Now WEAR TORQUE, so you don't lose it. We'll assume you don't need a hint yet, so let's proceed. You've been assigned a Quest by Merlin, and every knight knows there's one thing you must do before setting off on a quest. Go east into the chapel, then PRAY. Now, go west and you'll hear voices approaching the graveyard. (If you don't, go south and OPEN GATE; you'll hear the voices then.) You can still be arrested for a curfew violation, so HIDE BEHIND STONE. You'll be a witness to the theft of Excalibur, but there's nothing you can do about it now, so just WAIT. You'll soon fall asleep. When you wake up in the morning, you hear Lot telling the people a cock-and-bull story about you being dead, his being in possession of Excalibur, and the rightful King. He plans to hold his coronation in three days, so you don't have much time to foil his plans. GET UP, then go out and south, and you'll find yourself in the Village Square, face to face with the Village Idiot. He'll tell you to "Beware the Invisible Knight." ASK IDIOT ABOUT INVISIBLE KNIGHT and he'll give you a clue which you really won't need if you play your cards right. Since it's not very chivalrous to keep referring to him as an Idiot, ASK IDIOT ABOUT HIMSELF. He'll tell you that his name is FLOYD and reveal that he's not quite as stupid as people might think. THANK FLOYD for some extra chivalry points. (It pays to be polite!) You suddenly remember that Merlin told you to come and see him beyond the Meadow, so you'd better go do that. Go west twice to Outside the Town Gate, then southwest. Uh-oh! Guess Floyd wasn't kidding about the Invisible Knight! And guess what? He'll steal everything you're carrying every time you go through the Meadow. But we'll deal with him later. Right now, just continue northwest twice where you'll meet up with Merlin. Merlin will go into a lengthy explanation of how he's going to give you help (but not too much!). Read what he says carefully. You should probably jot down the five animals you can become. When it's time to use the spell, it should be obvious which one will be better for that particular task. Also make note of the restrictions. His warning about people becoming upset doesn't apply to Floyd; Floyd is not impressed by magic. Go north into Merlin's cave. GET BAG, then LOOK INTO CRYSTAL BALL. This is the source of power for the crystal you're wearing. Go south, then southeast twice. Oh, well. It was a nice bag while you had it! Don't worry, we'll get it back pretty soon. Go northeast and east twice to the Village Green. Somewhere along here your stomach should begin growling, and we must do something about it. Go south into the Tavern, then south into the kitchen. You'll see some cheese and a bird. The bartender won't let you get the cheese; for now just EXAMINE BIRD. You'll find that he's jumping up and down in the cage and apparently trying to communicate. If only you spoke BIRD! Well, just WAIT until the cook is called into the tavern. You don't have a second to lose! CYR OWL, and you'll be able to understand what the bird says. Now, CYR HUMAN, OPEN CAGE, GET KEY, UNLOCK CUPBOARD, THEN OPEN IT. TAKE BOTTLE AND CHEESE. The cook may come back just as you're getting the cheese and bottle, but just go north, and you'll escape with your booty. Once back in the tavern, EAT CHEESE, then LISTEN for some interesting clues about getting in the castle. Keep listening until they lower their voices. Then, go north, east, and south to the Smithy. EXAMINE HOLE and you'll find that it looks like a badger hole. Ring any bells? CYR BADGER and go DOWN to his den. See those old stones in the castle wall? Piece of cake! PUSH STONE, then go east into the cell. CYR HUMAN (the prisoner is chained and he can't attack you). ASK PRISONER ABOUT GUARDS, and he'll tell you they come when he calls them. GET STONE, then HIDE BEHIND DOOR, and CALL GUARD. You may have to WAIT once for the guard to enter the cell. If you do, read the description of what's happening carefully. When you see that the guard has his back to you and is looking at the prisoner, you'll be asked if you want to continue waiting. Say NO, then HIT GUARD WITH STONE. GET HELMET AND KEY, UNLOCK PRISONER WITH KEY, and GIVE HELMET TO PRISONER. Now, go north, and east twice; MOVE TAPESTRY, and go east again. Go north twice and you'll be behind the throne. WAIT FOR BELLS. The King will divulge the new Password. He'll give a Verse and Line number referring to the poem that came with the documentation. Stop waiting and go south four times. This is a good place to save your game. You're about to do something dangerous; besides, you want to LOCK IN the password because it's variable with every game. This is a fine kettle of fish! You can't go back, and there's a fire in front of you. How can you get through the fire? Didn't you ever read "Fahrenheit 451"? Simple! CYR SALAMANDER, and go west through the fire. (You'll drop the key and stone, but you don't need them any more.) Once in the Kitchen, you'll see a pumice stone and a barrel. CYR HUMAN. LOOK IN BARREL, and you'll discover there's water in it! It's too heavy to lift, but if you PUSH BARREL, the fire will be quenched. The prisoner will join you. You never know when a polishing stone will come in handy, so GET STONE, then OPEN DOOR, and go northwest. Go south into the Armoury. Ah, just what a Knight needs! WEAR ARMOUR (you can spell it the American way if you wish), and TAKE SHIELD. A Knight can't be seen with a tarnished shield! POLISH SHIELD WITH STONE, then DROP STONE. Go north and west. The guard will ask you for the password, so type SAY "xxxxxx xxxxx xxxx xxx" and you'll find yourself outside the castle where the grateful prisoner will tell you where you can find a hidden sword. At this point, he'll leave. PART 2: Before going after your sword, you'd better retrieve what you dropped when you became a badger. Go south and GET BOTTLE. Then go east twice to the Village Green. CYR BADGER (handy little creature isn't it?) and DIG IN ROOTS. Aha, there's the sword! CYR HUMAN and GET ALL. Go west, north, northwest, and north to the Edge of Woods. You'll see a Knight's pavilion there. KNOCK ON DOOR. (For an amusing sidelight, instead of knocking on the door, BLOW THE HORN to see what happens. Actually, a Pavilion is a tent, so I don't know how you could knock on the door, but who am I to argue?) A Knight will appear and invite you to a joust. He'll tell you to mount up, so MOUNT HORSE, and he'll offer you your choice of lances. It doesn't matter which color you choose. Just type COLOR (whichever you want), and he'll give you that lance. You'll receive a series of questions about what you want to do. Remember that a joust is a chivalrous event. Nobody is supposed to get hurt. A good Knight will never aim at an unprotected part of his opponent. Since neither of you is wearing any leg protection or a helmet, always chose the option to PROTECT YOUR BODY and AIM AT HIS BODY. After about three sorties, he will fall from his horse (and so will you, but he goes down first). He will declare you the winner, present you with an ivory key, and leave. Now, go north three times. Here's a beautiful Ivory Tower. Any idea how you might get in? Right! OPEN DOOR WITH KEY, and you find yourself in a circular room. Go down, and you notice that it gets very dark down below. Who can see well in the dark? Ah, you're getting very wise indeed, Arthur! CYR OWL. Go down into a dark room with writing on the wall. READ WALL and write down what you see there. (I'm going to make you do a little work here, even though it's a walkthru!) Go up, CYR HUMAN, and GET ALL BUT KEY. Go up three times, and you'll see an intriguing crack that's too small for you. CYR SALAMANDER, go west, and write down what you see on the wall. Go east back to the stairway, and CYR HUMAN. Leave your stuff; for now, just OPEN DOOR. You'll see an old man who says he'll reward you if you guess his name. You don't have to guess! The words in the Abandoned Room are a cryptogram of his name. The two lines in the cellar are the key - a substitution code. Every letter in "RIOTHAMUS" appears in the words in the Abandoned Room. The letters above "RIOTHAMUS" are the substitutions. In other words "S" appears above the "R" in "RIOTHAMUS" so every time you see an "R" in the cryptogram substitute an "S" for it, and so on. Once you've figured it out, type "SAY xxxxxxxxxxx". Voila! He'll give you a ring, instructions on what it does, and how to use it! THANK OLD MAN, OPEN DOOR, GET ALL from the Landing, go down twice, OPEN DOOR, and you find yourself back in the Clearing. Going south twice will put you at the Enchanted Forest. Go northwest twice, then north. When you try to pass the horse chestnut trees, they'll start pelting you with conkers! You better act quickly or you'll be pelted to death. CYR TURTLE, then PULL IN HEAD AND FEET. Now, WAIT and continuing waiting until you are told "the hail of conkers ceases." CYR HUMAN, and GET ALL. Going north will take you to the Glade where you'll see some tiny footprints. Aha! The Little People! This might be your chance to get some gold! Since they obviously pass this way, maybe you should hide and wait. HIDE BEHIND ROCK. You'll hears some sounds, so LISTEN, and you'll hear someone complaining about the flatness of the food. Maybe that bottle you picked up will come in handy after all! Go OUT, DROP BOTTLE, then HIDE BEHIND ROCK again. WAIT. The leprechaun will soon appear. Keep waiting until he is engrossed in the bottle, then stop waiting, and GRAB LEPRECHAUN. Oh, well, you didn't get your gold, but you did gain some points, and who knows when you might want a good, stiff drink? Go south, southeast, then a quick trek north. Take a look across the chasm. Wild Boars are very dangerous. Your first problem is getting over the Chasm. Well, that's easy, but you'd be over there without any weapons! Better think about this for a while. Meanwhile, let's deal with that pesky Invisible Knight. The way back is south, southeast, south twice, southeast, south, and southeast. Oops! You've lost everything again. Well, not to worry: We'll soon fix that! RUB RING. Voila! The Invisible Knight is no longer invisible to you! Go east into the Pavilion and confront the Knight. He'll hand over all your stuff voluntarily, then he'll ask you if you want a brass raven's egg. Since you like oddities, answer YES, and he'll pose a riddle. The answer is fairly obvious if you think about it long enough. The first part of the sequence he's giving you is firST, secoND, thiRD, fourTH. The answer is obviously SAY "TH". He will give you the egg. PUT ALL IN BAG. (Some things won't fit, but it's easier to do it this way. By the way, the bag can't be filled.) Now go west, then southeast to the Field of Honor. Go east, and the Red Knight will give you a list of things you must bring him before he'll let you pass. Go back west and south into the Shallows. Since you're not a very good swimmer (especially in chain mail!), you'd better use some magic. CYR EEL, and go south. Going east will take you to a window in an underground chamber. LOOK THROUGH WINDOW, and you'll see a beautiful woman. This is Nimue, the Lady of the Lake. Nothing you can do about her now, so go west, then southwest. You'll see a Kraken and a sunken rowboat. EXAMINE KRAKEN, and you'll see an interesting bracelet on its tentacle. EXAMINE ROWBOAT, and you'll have proof that Lot lied about Excalibur! That bracelet looks valuable: Let's get it! (You might want to save here, first.) ZAP KRAKEN. He'll be unimaginably mad! Quickly go northeast, then north into the Shallows. CYR HUMAN, then GET SWORD, and CUT TENTACLE WITH SWORD. You're safe, but unfortunately, the bracelet has gone into deep water. Not to worry. CYR TURTLE, then go south where you'll see the bracelet. SWIM THROUGH BRACELET, and go north. If you try to become human again, you'll choke, so PULL IN HEAD, and CYR HUMAN. GET BRACELET, then WEAR BRACELET. PART 3: It's time to resume our journey, so CYR EEL again, go south, southeast, and northeast, and you'll see a slow minnow. Don't bother to try to catch it now, but remember it for later. Continue north three times. Along the way, pay attention to which way the river flows - it's important. When you reach the Ford, CYR HUMAN. Go east, northeast, and up to the Dragon's Cave. If you try to go north into the cave, the Dragon will say something that is a hint as to how to deal with him. If it doesn't ring a bell, try to go north again for an even broader hint. (The first was a quote from W. C. Fields, a drunk.) If only you could have brought the jug with you! Oh, well, for now, go down and southwest. GET APPLE from the tree, and EXAMINE APPLE. Looks pretty toxic. Might come in handy. Go west to the Ford. If you go west from here you'll pass a Black Knight, and he won't let you go back east without a fight, for which you're not equipped. You can't go any further west from the Knight because of a bog in which you'll get lost and drown. The only way back is BACK. But how can you carry an apple when you're an eel? Remember, I told you to pay attention to the flow of the river? It flows from north to south! CYR EEL, you'll drop the apple, and it will float away toward the south. Go south three times (ignoring the minnow again), southwest, northwest, and north. Lo and behold! There's an apple floating here! CYR HUMAN and GET ALL. For some reason the bag doesn't like the apple, so you'll have to carry it. Go north, northwest, northeast, north, northwest, north twice, northwest, and north to the South Edge of Chasm. Time to deal with that boar (remember, the Red Knight wants a tusk). THROW APPLE AND SWORD ACROSS CHASM. The boar will eat the apple and fall over dead. CYR OWL and go north across the chasm. Once on the other side, CYR HUMAN, GET SWORD, and CUT TUSK WITH SWORD. Now, THROW TUSK AND SWORD ACROSS CHASM, CYR OWL, south, CYR HUMAN, GET ALL, and PUT TUSK IN BAG. We're off on another adventure. Go south, southeast, and northeast twice to a tall tree. You can't climb the tree, but it looks interesting, so CYR OWL, then go up. You'll see a raven's nest with an egg in it. One of your Quests! The raven is circling around, and you can't get the egg with it here, so LAND IN GROVE. CYR HUMAN, GET BRASS EGG, then DROP BRASS EGG, CYR OWL, and go up again. The raven will swoop down to investigate the brass egg. LAND IN NEST, CYR HUMAN, and PUSH EGG FROM NEST. CYR OWL, and the raven will chase you from the nest. LAND IN GROVE, CYR HUMAN, and GET ALL THEN PUT EGG IN BAG. (We could have done this directly without first investigating, but how would you have known the nest was there? Besides, by going directly from point to point, we're going to have waste a lot of time somewhere along the line.) Go southwest twice, south twice, southeast, and northeast where you'll find a cabin. OPEN DOOR, and you find an injured peasant whose fire is about to go out. OPEN DOOR again, and you'll be outside. A crutch and a slean are here. If you EXAMINE SLEAN, you'll discover it's a device for cutting peat (a great fuel for fire). Go northeast, and you'll see a sign warning you not to proceed, but the peat here is dry and firm. So, CUT PEAT WITH SLEAN, then DROP SLEAN because you've broken it. Go southwest, GET CRUTCH, then OPEN DOOR. PUT PEAT ON FIRE. The peasant will wake up and thank you for your kindness. GIVE CRUTCH TO PEASANT. He'll thank you again, then you should ASK PEASANT ABOUT BOG. He'll give you directions. You should immediately save the game because this is a variable. THANK PEASANT, then OPEN DOOR to leave the cabin. Now that you have directions, go back northeast to the Edge of Bog, and follow the directions you were given. (If you're using the MAP feature, the entire map through the bog will appear after you make the first correct move.) Well, this guy looks familiar. I think you're ready to fight him now, so try going east again, and he'll tell you you have to fight him. FIGHT KNIGHT, and watch the descriptions. Use "G" (for again) to keep fighting him until you see he's lost his sword. CUT MEDALLION WITH SWORD, and the Knight will vanish, leaving his armour behind. It's useless, so ignore it. Now we can deal with the dragon, but for some reason Merlin's bag is not welcome East of the Ford; we'll have to carry what we need. GET JUG then DROP BAG. Now go east twice, northeast, up, and GIVE JUG TO DRAGON. WAIT until the Dragon passes out, then stop waiting. You probably should save the game here. Go north into the cave, then northeast. When the Basilisk starts looking for you, POINT SHIELD AT BASILISK, and he will turn to stone. Go northeast and you'll find yourself in a very hot room. And it's getting hotter by the minute! A demon will tell you you have to give the password to pass; he will even tell you the password! If you try to SAY "NUDD," you'll find you can't speak. You're about to boil, so go back southwest to get out of the heat. Go southeast, then northeast, and you'll be in a room where you can see your breath freeze! Quickly SAY "NUDD," and then, as your words freeze, GET BLOCK, and go southwest before you freeze. Ignore the ghosts. Quickly go northwest and northeast where the block will melt, and the password will be said. The demon will usher you north into the Hall where a girl is manacled. She's sitting on the Golden Fleece that you need for the Red Knight, and she makes you a very attractive offer if you'll free her. KISS GIRL, and as you approach you see she has some very strange features! Suddenly you realize who she is. Type HELLO NUDD. The monster will reveal itself to you and try to strike a bargain. If you unlock the manacles, you'll get the Golden Fleece you need. But as the future King, you cannot let this evil creature loose in the world! If you don't agree to do it, you won't get the Fleece! Wise Knight that you are, you conceive a plan. AGREE to release her. She will drop the Fleece. GET FLEECE. Then GET KEY from around her neck. Now, follow your part of the bargain: UNLOCK LEFT MANACLE, LOCK LEFT MANACLE, UNLOCK RIGHT MANACLE, and at this point, Nudd will catch on to what you're doing. You have fulfilled your part of the bargain, but the demon won't be free! Nudd will put a curse on you, and expel you from the Hall. You'll find yourself at the Dragon's lair again. CUT HAIR WITH SWORD, and you have the final object you need to deal with the Red Knight! Go down, southwest, west twice, and GET BAG. Then PUT FLEECE AND HAIR IN BAG. Go back through the bog. From the Edge of the Bog go southwest twice, south, southwest, southeast, and east to the Red Knight. Now GIVE TUSK, HAIR, EGG, AND FLEECE TO KNIGHT. He will let you pass. Go south twice to the Silver Door. Ring any bells? UNLOCK DOOR WITH SILVER KEY, and go down. You are now in the chamber where Nimue is being held captive. If you've read Merlin's warning in the Instruction Book, you'll know how to revive her. But right now you just need to kill some time. Type WAIT UNTIL CHRISTMAS EVE, and keep waiting until you are told you're getting sleepy. Now, stop waiting and SLEEP. When you wake up, you will be hungry and will have dropped everything, but don't worry about it. Just go up, north twice, west, and south twice to the shallows. CYR EEL, then go south, southeast, and northeast to the minnow. EAT MINNOW. Go southwest, northwest, north, and CYR HUMAN. One more item to get. Go north, northwest, northeast, east three times, and south. CYR BADGER. I'm going to give you directions through the maze, but just so you'll know how, the way to map the maze is to DIG IN DIRT each time you enter a new room. Dig ONCE in the first room, TWICE in the next room, etc. That way every room will have a unique number of scratches, and you can find your way through the maze. From the Smithy go down, south, up, down, up, and you'll find yourself on Thorny Island. A thorny sprig has fallen from the bushes. GET SPRIG, then go down, north twice, up, and CYR HUMAN. GET SPRIG again, and go north, west three times, southwest, southeast, east, south twice, and down. Nothing to do but kill time now. If you read Merlin's warning in the documentation, you know how to wake Nimue. Type WAIT UNTIL CHRISTMAS. When you become sleepy, stop waiting, and SLEEP. When you awake, GET ALL. When conditions are right, take the appropriate action to wake Nimue. Pay attention to what she says. After she vanishes, GET GAUNTLET, and go back to the castle. Now, go up, north twice, west, northwest, northeast, and east twice to Floyd. When you woke up you were hungry. You can finish the game before starving to death, but for the maximum points you should eat. GIVE RED GLASS TO FLOYD. He will give you the dead mouse. It's not appetizing, but to some creatures it might be a delicacy! CYR BADGER, EAT MOUSE, and CYR HUMAN. GET ALL, and proceed east three times to the Great Hall. In the best tradition of Knighthood, SLAP LOT WITH GAUNTLET. You will be immediately escorted to the Field of Honor where you want to FIGHT LOT. Since Lot is quite a bit more experienced than you, he'll probably beat you, so you're going to distract him. DROP BRACELET, then FIGHT LOT again. Being a true chivalrous Knight, you should SPARE LOT. He will swear eternal allegiance to you, but I wouldn't trust him for a second! CALL NIMUE as she instructed you to do, and whes, 101 Experience points, and 100 Quest points. Congratulations! When prompted for a last wish, you can learn a lot by asking for HINTS, and reading the Notices and Bibliography.

ATHLETICS 1 of 1 : Rather than waggling your joystick, plug the mouse into the joystick port and move the mouse round and round on the mouse mat, and your player will run at full speed. ATOMIC ROBOKID 1 of 1 : On the title screen type TUESDAY 14TH (including the space) so that when you start the game, you will be presented with an options screen from which you can choose infinite lives etc. ATOMINO 1 of 2 : Level 10 - IDYLL Level 20 - TAURUS Level 30 - NEPTUNE Level 40 - PHOTON Level 50 - PLANKTON Level 60 - INFERNAL Level 70 - FOSSIL Level 80 - POISON Level 90 - SOUP Level 100 - SULPHATE 2 of 2 : Section 10 - ACID Section 20 - ARROW Section 30 - EMMISSION Section 40 - LAVA Section 50 - CAVE Section 60 - ELIXIR Section 70 - BONE Section 80 - WOOD ATOMIX 1 of 1 : Go to the password screen and type TIME for infinite time on your next game. 2 of 2 : Press during a game and type TIME for infinite time. AWESOME 1 of 4: SPACE COMBAT: Firstly and most important is the need to master the controls of your craft, once done this enables you to survive most of your craft, once done this enables you to survive most of the initial engagements relatively unscathed, saving precious shield energy. Quite often I find that flying backwards works well, as you don't go any slower but can shoot pursuing ships. When collecting disks it's best to go for either the left or the right one and swing round in an arc, if you're quick you'll get all of them and money problems will soon be a thing of the past. The same applies to shield pods which should be collected with caution as some explode, these ones flash (ooh-er) so spotting them shouldn't be a problem. If you're definite that a ship contains cargo it's best just to ram it as any disks or pods will instantly be collected. In later conflicts you'll encounter homing missiles. Usually I fly in reverse using Mortar Bolts. Although they have a slow rate of fire, each bolt plows through everything making up fo rthe huge amounts continuously launched. PLANETFALL: As soon as you arrive start looking for the landing site, don't wait for arrow, as on later planets there just isn't enough time, also get a good look at the surface below, as later on the entrance isn't too easy to find. Negotiating numerous dead ends and mazes is made far easier if you've had a good look from above. This view is identical in every respect, with the added advantage that from that height you can see a lot more at once. WEAPONS: A wide arsenal is available but note there is only room on you ship for six: SONIC MINING LASERS - These are invaluable, crystals cannot be mined in any other fashion and are an essential source of cash. SHIELD REPLENISHER - Essential, this drains enemy vessels and increases your shield. Only found at research stations (the centre globe). FLAME THROWER - Provides a constant jet, unfortunately it's short ranged and ineffective. PERIPERAL GUNS - Initially not much use but when fully equipped provides good firepower in ten directions. SPHERICAL BOMBS - These globes act like shields destroying anything on a collision course with your ship. RADIAL DISTRUPTOR - At around 400 creds a go, it's not cheap and the number of uses is limited to the amount you spend. Otherwise it's basically a smart bomb. PULSE LASER - Rapid firing laser but not too powerful, go for Plasma cannons instead. MORTAR BOLTS - Essential, it's slow rate of fire is more than compensated by it's phenomenal firepower. PLASMA SHOWER - Basically like peripheral guns but in six different directions, but only has to be paid for once. 2 of 4 : On the platform mazes on some of the planets' surfaces, there are traps that consist of laser blasts, spikes, and other nasties that shoot out from the points along the edges of the ramp. Instead of dodging the projectiles, press your trooper against the wall and then run past. The traps will cease to fire and you will usually suffer no loss of energy. Also, it is not always wise to slug it out with the guardian at the end of the maze. If you can dodge the beast, or even run right through it, you will be able to enter the trading centre more quickly. 3 of 4 : To gain invisibility and every weapon available, first play normally until you are inside the ship. Move the cursor to the shield (upper-left) and press and at the same time. The screen should flash green and then, while playing, you should be invisible. You can pick any weapon by pressing any of the following keys: <1>, <2>, <3>, <4>, <5>, <6>, <7>, <8>, <9>, <0>, <_->, <+=>. You can also skip levels by pressing . 4 of 4 : At the energy swap screen, move the pointer to the shield icon and hold down the <+> key on the numeric keypad and press . The screen should then flash. Now, during gameplay, pressing the Function keys will equip you with all the weapons ( disables your enemies and restores your energy). AZTEC TOMB 1 of 1 : Steer the boat towards the cliffs, and when the cliffs are on the screen, type JUMP OVERBOARD.
