Subject:      willy bemish demo

Does anyone know if the willy demo is playable?  I waited through the entire
thing.  It seems to have save and restore capabilities.

I think I got it from wuarchive and it's called willybem.zip
(executable is willydem.exe).

Thanks,   Aaron

    Fantasia (Mickey Mouse)     ; Phantasy Star III (RPG; 7 worlds!)
    Sonic Hedgehog              ; Alex Kidd Enchanted Castle
    Valis III (fighter)

  Lynx w/ carrying case and AC adaptor
    Hard Drivin' (stunts)       ; Ms PacMan (coin-op translation)
    ScrapYard Dog (Mario like)  ; Warbirds (fly bi-planes)
    Viking Child (RPG)

THANKS.  Regards, MM (millerm@uwwvax.uww.edu)

   *** SPOILER ALERT!!  **








I have some questions about this game....


1.  How, exactly, do you make and use rifles?  I've provided the gunpowder
    and bamboo, and am at the lab....Rafkin doesn't do anything...argh..

2.  How do you kill t-rex??  swords and grenades don't seem to do anything
    I did read the part in the manual about the weak spot in the skull...
    will a sword blow there kill one?

3.  How do you get up on the Great Mesa?????

4.  And...bonus question...how do you get up to the ledge with "King Kong?"


please respond to my account, since I'm no longer on the list...

Hi folks,

        Got Wiz7 on monday night, and am really enjoying it. However, my
impatient roommate doesn't want to wait and figure out how to get past the
locked door in the new city constabulary. Does anyone know either the
sequence of keys to be pressed or preferably just a hint towards the
solution?

TIA,

I've played SimEarth and love it!  I think you've got to have some
knowledge about the way the world works, according to the Gaia theory
(everything affects everything else).  I haven't played SimCity, but I
think that the two are very different in concept.

With SimEarth, you're working on creating/changing/affecting a planet.
You can start at any one of four eras and "grow" your planet as you
want to.  You can change the climate in any one of a number of ways
and change the population.  You can increase/decrease altitude, create
meteors, earthquakes, ...

I recommend SimEarth - it's good for many hours of experimentation!

Hi all,

to run it, however, it asks to insert a program disk in drive A:. I press
enter, and it gives the same message. Strange thing is, it doesn't even check
for the presence of a disk in drive a in between messages. What's the deal???

I know this is an old game, but I started replaying Curse of the Azure
Bonds again, because I noticed after finishing the game, that maybe I
missed out on a few small things by looking through the unmarked Journal
Entries.  In the beginning of the game, is there any way to catch up with
the harper in the sewers?  I see his name signed in the guest book, and
see him exit a door down the hall, but never catch up with him, regardless
of where I search.  Am I missing something, or should I just forget this
completely?

 Folks,

      I've been sitting on this for a long time now and thought I'd get it
 back out.  I went to the top of the mountain and talked to the Demon.  He
 instructed me to go to the Sump and get the gem the dragon uses for an eye.
 I screwed up when I didn't write down the dragon's name.  Does anybody have
 it?  I sent a letter to SCORPIA and she didn't know (she didn't like the
 game, so she never fininshed it or tool good notes).  Many thanks in advance.

I absolutly love this game, but i am stuck in a few places, hopefully someone
 out there can help.

1) In the Dane tower (dionyseus, i think) i got to the top and have recovered
 the book, ashes, and stone, but what do i do now?  i'm supposed to summon the
 demonthing and kill it, but how do i do that?

2) in the gorn castle (who ever heard of a castle underground)  i am also stuck.
  i have found a gorilla cage that is sealed, and i've got a brush and combs(?)
 and a polished steel plate, and suggestions?  i am out of decent keys too.

3)i have about 5 coffer keys left from dane tower, as well as 2 crypt keys and
 oops 2 gorror keys, did i miss something?

Any hints or poiters in the right direction would be greatly appreciated.  My
 group of like-minded individuals are all on level 13+, so monsters are nnot a
 problem (yet).  I also hope this wasn't a spoiler.  Anyway, thanks in advance!

     on telenet you connect to freenet-in-a.cwru.edu or freenet-in-b or in-c.

     once there, you will have to logon as a guest user.
     to do this, you must:

       1. give the proper answers to get into the system.
       2. at any ==> prompt, enter the command GO GAMES.
          it's JUST that simple!  :)

as i have mentioned before, in order to LEAVE mail on the system, you
will have to apply for a userid account, BUT you can still READ the files
as a guest!

Subject:      Timdemo & more!

Hurrah!  Hurrah!  Thanks to whomever put timdemo.exe on nic.funet.fi!  I
finally succeeded in downloading it!  The birds are singing!  The grass is
growing!  It's spring again!

Now that that's done, in the very first puzzle, how do I attach the fan belt
to the pulley & the mouse in the cage, & what the heck is that basketball doing
in there, anyway?

BTW, can anyone recommend the best sources for .voc, .gif, & .fli files?

Thanks for your patience, CWARD.  We're still trying to figure out why my
machine can't download from wuarchive or ulowell without hanging.

I agree with Gabe's assessment of MMII, but not quite as virulently.

Sorry for putting not only incomplete, but -as I was told by several ppl-
even WRONG info on the list. Several PC-users told me they had often used
LzH to compress and decompress files.. So I'm out on this one.

One thing I DID learn was: The fastest way to learn about unfamiliar
systems is to make statements about things they CAN do, but you should
denie. So here's my next one:

*** PC's are the louziest dish-washers I've ever seen, and they'll pro-
*** bably never learn how to do it right...


Wonder what reactions this one may generate.. :-)
