The problem is, each time I use a large file, the CD-player pauses at random moments. This is most notably with AVI files and Audio-CD's, since the audio and video constantly breaks up. I know the Mitsumi is single-speed, but it has worked for months without any problems. The problem arose after I installed a networkcard, WfW 3.11 and 6.2, so I guess one off these components is causing these malfunctions.

RD: But I haven't seen him since I left the lighthouse. I guess there RD: must be a way to get back to give him his battery? Well, since this is the easy one I will answer it first. The image of tremble that you always see is in the object you hold in your inventory called the orb. To put the battery in it, simply select the battery from your inventory and then use it with the orb. You will then see the standard interaction buttons (i.e. throw object, drop object, etc.) and one of the options will be to put the battery in the orb. Tremble will the sputter back to live with something about "...and thats the only way to get out of there alive." RD: 2.) There must be some very important items in the General store down RD: in the GUE but I can't figure out how to get in. This is a very in depth question because it requires multiple items. I will give this answer to you in sections so that if you want to try to figure out part of it on your own you can just use my first hint and if that doesn't work go on to the second. The smallest clue I can give you is have you tried to pick the lock on the store? If that's not enough read on. 1)It sounds like you haven't really explored all of the GUE that is available to see. For example, have you crossed the bridge into New West Shanbar? If not you will need to do so because there are many other places to visit. If you have, you may recall seeing a place called Pugney's Ranch. You may have even talked to Mr. Pugney. When talking to him, act apologetic and he will give you permission to take the box of bras from his front yard. (Be sure and get permission though or you will get an unwelcomed visit from The Guardian). The box of bras is your first clue. 2)Take the box of bras to the incinerator and pull lever one to open the top door. Throw the box of bras into the incinerator. (Another hint follows: Be sure and close the door before continuing or the incinerator will explode.) Pull the second handle to open the second door, inside will be a piece of glowing wire. 3) The wire is too hot to pick up so it must be cooled with a liquid. I used water I had gotten from the river in West Shanbar. I put the water in the silver flask I got when Booz fell down drunk. (If you don't have the flask or the water you will need to get them. Go back to the Mill in the GUE by facing the bridge to New West Shanbar and go right. Then go out the door to the left inside the mill, this will take you back topside. Get the flask and go back to where you are facing town. Turn all the way around and then to the right you will see an arrow pointing down, go under the bridge. If you haven't been here before, there is something you should do but I won't tell you now. Fill the flask with water and then go back to the GUE and pour the water on the wire. (Why hasn't the wire cooled of by now? Don't know that's just the way the game goes!) 4) Finally, go to the store and use the wire to pick the lock. This will get you inside. How did I figure all this out? I got a hint book because I couldn't stand it anymore!!!! This is a pretty tough problem and hopefully it is the worst of them all?!? Give me a yell if you get stuck again. P.S.-One more hint: Be sure to read the slip on the door before picking the lock, or you will get a visit from The Guardian.

Very important to know: is you Mitsumi drive internal or external? If your CD-ROM drive is internal than look at the back side of one. You'll see some connectors one of them should be named 'Audio output' or something like this. Also look at your sound card. It has one or two connectors named 'CD Audio connector' (this connector exist even at simple Sound Galaxy cards). So, when you connect these connectors by thin cable, which should be in you CD-ROM pack, you'll hear any sound from sound card and audio CD. Good luck!

I have uploaded a copy of this message to the CIS to get confirmation and to also find out if there are any monthly limits to the amount of mailing lists I can generate. I know that Phone Disk has , I believe, a 250 per month max of printing out mailing labels. Just want to make sure Select Phone does not. Once I get a response back from them and it confirms your info, I will place my order to you for it. Incidently, the authors of both Pro-Cd and Phonedisk are on CIS, but don't ususally post to individual users. I know, since I tried to get the info from them. Hopefully, they will verify what I need this time due to your message.....

Refer: NONE Read: [N/A] Private: No Hi there! I've just bought "Star Trek: 25th Anniversary" on CD-ROM. This version is fully spoken with the voices of all the original crew-members. Neat!! BUT...the last mission "Vengeance" seems to have been changed!! I checked the other missions with a 'walkthrough' and everything is the same. But the last mission is a lot longer now!! In the 'normal' version, there are two places where you can go: the bridge and the sickbay. But I first get a screen of a turbolift-panel and I can go to: bridge, auxiliary control, sick-bay, engineering, transporter-room and weapons-bay. The problem: I have done everything I could... Power is reastablished and my shields are up. I have access to all rooms, EXCEPT WEAPONS-BAY. I've just been hailed by an Elasi Frigate; I have 30 minutes to look up some data concerning his comrades in prison. When I go to the transporterroom (where I've put a portable energy-source to feed the transporter) Spock says that this is the only way to the torpedo-bay; but I don't seem to get anywhere with that transporter, while everything works just fine according to Spock...

With many 3rd party memory managers, when you want to load te driver, there is special syntax. For instance, wih 386max, before the driver you place 386load. I don't know the syntax for QMEMM, but since it has a prog that optimizes setup for you, the best idea is to restore your setup files to how you used EMM386 and let the optimizer make the changes. also, since a driver cannot e loaded from DOS, loading it twice will not help. Also, EMM386 can address as much memory as you have, so the problem seems like that the added memory is not compatable. either you added 1x3's to your 1x9's, (or 1x2's with what ever) some systems require all memory in the computer to be the same. also, assuming your computer has more than 2 memory banks, if your first 4meg are in bank 0, your 2nd 4meg must be in bank 1 or the memory will not be recognised. --- TBBS v2.1/NM * Origin: Direct Connect BBS - Phila, PA 5 Gigs 215-535-6579 (1:273/919) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- From: BILL MAY Number: 5340 To: JOHN ALLISON Date: 05/25/94 10:38p Subj: MYST Refer: NONE Read: [N/A] Private: No On 05-24-94, JOHN ALLISON said to BILL MAY ....

Well, the way you move the pieces is exactly like a bishop in chess...and you can only place them in places where they are not "attackable" from your opponent, and the solve is to switch the pieces to the other side... A lot of trial and error at first, but the basic strategy is that when you move a piece, there will be a space that it could have "attacked" before, which it can't now, and that's where you have to make your next move with the opposing piece....i have the complete solution if you need it..

Other than a manufacturing delay (Pioneer's problem), I was pleased with the vendors responsiveness and attempts at technical support. They are reputable. The price, at that time, was very competitive. I have no complaints. I would be happy to answer any questions you have regarding the 1804x, if I have the answers :-).

Just bought last weekend. I am impressed!!! I am still just starting to learn the use of the program 250,000 stars catalogued down to magnitude 12 - you can filter to the mag. range that you want to display. Catalogue of about 40,000 deep sky objects. All planets, known moons, 5000 asteriods and 100 short period comets. Planet positions from 5000 BC to 10000 AD based on JPL's DE012 program which is generally good to a few arc seconds. Excellent graphics for starmaps. Can put your frame of reference anywhere on earth on in solar system. Several types of projection available on starmaps. I get good printed star charts using my HP deskjet. Outstanding planet details where available. Of lesser interest to me- lots of photos and some movie clips. I have had a little trouble displaying text in starmaps with my system. Tech support is by Maxis - the SimCity folks!! and appears to be good. For the money - 50 bucks at Egghead where I live - I think that the disk is a good price. Now all I need is a computer with CD rom that I can pack along with my scope when I take off for dark skies :) !╨Q╠º╪<º#--- WinQwk 2.0b#178!╨Q╠º╪<º# --- WM v3.01/93-0751 * Origin: P.O.D.S. 14.7 Gigabytes Online!

I have the floppy version and most of the expansion disks. It's not as authentic a flight sim as Aces of the Pacific/Europe but it's pretty fun to play, especially the campaign game. You can be in charge of the German war machine or be the allies and plot where your airstrikes will be headed each day. My favorite is flying the B17's and P38's.

Try loading all of your drivers into high memory. You might want to make a boot disk that will disconect the current memory configuration (especially if you have a large amount reserved for windows), just Run Memmaker (please remember to backup your autoexec.bat and config.sys files before you begin.) Make sure that in your config.sys menu you specify which your last drive is (probably D, but that depends on your system.). Hopefully that works for you. If it doesn't lets talk further, but more info on what type of system you are running would be helpful (RAM etc). Hey it just came to me that if you have smartdrive running you may want to disconect that on you boot disk. Roast a few dino's for me!

Return To Zork Almost-Full-Point Solution NOTE : At certain points in the solve I will tell you to use an item, and not tell you to pick it up again, or just mention the existence of an item in a certain room. Make sure you pick EVERYTHING up (with the exception of the things I tell you NOT to pick up:)). Anything that you leave behind, you should go back and get. Hey. Well you're playing Return to Zork, and are stucker than stuck, and need some help. Look no further, here's the solution to the game! I didn't get all the points (only 218/225) but the end is there either way, and here's how to get to it. I also believe there are a few parts of the game that are just unsolveable (ie the oven, and anything relating to hellhounds). You start off in a mountain pass. A quick thing to do is pick up the rock from the lower left hand part of the screen and throw it at the vulture. Then you might be tempted to get the bonding plant from down below. Don't. My recommendation is to wait till later in the game to get the plant. So instead, just mosey down the path to the lighthouse. Enter the lighthouse and babble with the lighthouse keeper. He really doesn't have very much interesting to say at this point, so what you say doesn't matter very much. Next go outside the lighthouse again. Now if you head down the path, you'll be at the road to the south, unsolveable, so instead, go around the back of the lighthouse. From here, cut the vines from the fence, and bind the wood panels together with the vines. Now you have a raft, use it to go one space down the river, and get off at the bridge. You are now in the town of West Shanbar, facing the town-proper. First easy thing to do is go to the building on the far right, it's a destroyed hardware store. Go in, and get the box and the crank. You don't need the mice, so leave them there. Next stop should be the close house on the right, the school house. To get in, bang the bell with the crank or the dagger. The school teacher will first quiz you with the games first copy-protection, and then give you a notebook in which you can record all of your travels in the game. Next stop is the Town Hall, close building on the left, go in, talk to the mayor, and whatever. Then read ALL the files in the cabinets. It's a lot of reading, and you'll be referring back to it later on (and a lot of this solve won't make any sense without reading it). Then after you leave Town Hall, face center of town, and turn around from there, go off to the left of the screen, towards the mill. Go into the mill, and you'll have your first encounter with Boos. First of MANY. Go out the other door into the backyard of his house, and grab the key from the floor, and pull the chock out of the water wheel (I don't actually know what this accomplishes, but it gives you two points, so what the heck:)). Go back through the house, and back to town, where you can now go to the building on the far left. Use the key to unlock the door. Go in, grab the battery off the shelves, and the money and tickets out of the cash register. Then go back to facing the bridge, and on the far right side of the screen, your mouse arrow will point down, go this way. Here you will meet the waif. Give him the tickets, and he will give you a gift, it looks like a piece of lint, but it's very important later in the game. From here, go back the old mill, and do the following. When Boos pours you a drink, pour the drink out into the plant, then make a toast with him (glasses clinking icon) then drink the empty glass. Repeat this four times, and he will pass out, opening up the Great Underground Empire. But wait, you're not done yet. Leave the mill, and re-enter it, and repeat the entire pour/toast/drink process again, but only three times this time, after he says "Damn Few.", click on the "Don't Drink & Drive" icon, and he will give you his car keys. OK, don't get too excited here, you can't drive his car, but you can now enter the GUE. Before you leave this room, also be sure to grab the flask off of the ground by his feet. Go down the passage you just opened, and you will be at a door, open the door with the car keys, and you are now in a new mill! Exit this mill, and you are now within the GUE. Follow the path straight, into East Shanbar. First building to enter is the second one on the left. Go into Moodock's Armoury, and have a chat with him, then play a game of Survivor (he'll explain the rules to you). It's also impossible for you to lose in this incarnation of Survivor (you will play a much harder version later on), so just futz around, and once you win he will give you a sword, and a coin (not a Zorkmid though). Next, out of the building, turn around from the center of town, and face the bridge. Cross the bridge, and go to the left. At the Fool's Memorial, pick up the book off of the floor. From here, proceed down the left path again, and follow it into Snoot's Farm. Enter through the window, as the door is locked. Enter the door second from the left, and in that room will be the lovely Rebecca Snoot, brushing her teeth. She'll knock you out for breaking and entering, however. When you get up, talk to her and she'll quiz you with the second and final copy-protection of the game. Once you're out of that predicament, from the main room, go into the door on the right side of the room, zoom in on the cabinet, and grab the mirror from the desk. Then again, from the main room, go through the center archway, and in the kitchen take the soap off the sink, the thermozz from the table, and open the refridgerator and take the meat out. (The meat will rot, don't worry about it, you want it to rot.) From there, put the soap in the sink, and run the water on it, you will now have soapy water, wash the waif's gift in the soap, and lo and behold, you have a piece of a mysterious disk. Neat. In the kitchen is also an oven that blows up if you turn it on (Why it does this is beyond me) and a box of cereal that you can't pick up. Again, from the main room again, go into the door on the far left. In there is Alexis the poodle/hellhound. Click on her and she will growl at you. Nothing else is necessary from the dog, but her growling is necessary for you to win the game. After you leave the building, on random occasions, Rebecca will come and meet you out on the road. When you do see her, take her picture. Next stop is the carrot silo. From the front of Rebecca's house, go up and to the right, and you will be at the carrot silo. Take the crank, and put it on the silo door, and crank it clockwise. The silo will explode and you should take some of the carrots. From here, again go up and to the right, and you will be at the Pugney farm. Go to the red house first, and DON'T take the box off the ground. Go to the door, and open the window and talk to Pugney. Be Apologetic, and he will let you take the box off the front lawn. Once you finish with him, grab the box, and now go to the blue barn behind the red house. Go inside with the cow, and take a clump of hay from the ground (left bottom corner) pick it up, drop it again, and then take the matches and light the hay on fire. Now warm your hands by the fire, and milk the cow with the thermozz. Then feed the cow the carrots. Next stop, back to Rebecca's house, and go into her kitchen (or bathroom) and fill the flask (not the thermozz) with water. Now go back to East Shanbar and go to the last building on the left. Pull lever 1 and the top of the incinerator will open. Throw the bra box into the incinerator, and pull lever 1 again. Then pull lever 2, and zoom in on the drawer. Pour the water from the flask onto the hot wire, and pick the wire up. Now take that wire, and enter the first building on the left (from the center of town) and use the wire to pick the lock. Shake the cereal box. Shake it again. Take the whistle. Next pick up the rats, and IMMEDIATELY put them into the box you picked up earlier. (The meat you picked up, by now, should have rotted away) Make SURE you put the rats into the box, or you will die a quick death. Next up is go from the center of town, straight out, to the fork in the road, pick the left one first. Pick the tiles up off the floor, and then turn around, and pick the frame up off the floor. Drop the tiles into the frame, and you have a lovely word puzzle. The solution to the puzzle is "Water unseen at falls mix with bat dropping yields potion for", and once you get that far, the last block will fall into place, "invisibility". Now, in the same place, twirl around once more, and pick up the disk piece and the two pieces of illuminyte off the floor. From here, go back to the center of town, and enter the first building on the right (by this point most people will be telling you that you stink). Buy a room from Molly Kettle, and go up to your room in the elevator. Enter the room, and place the illuminyte rocks onto the nightstand. Then zoom in on the monitor, and turn the radio on. Then turn the lights off. You will have a dream about Morpheus, the head bad-guy of the game. Next, get up, turn the lights back on, and take your illuminyte back (make sure to turn the lights on first). Exit this building now. Now for the hard parts. There are now two mazes to deal with. One is rather vicious, and one is just annoying because of what you have to do. The first woods we will discuss is the Whispering Woods, the right fork in the road from the path straight out of town. First things first, however. Go back to the silo, grab more carrots. Go back to the cow, pour your thermozz milk into the flask, and then milk the cow again (it must be done the same way as earlier). Now go to the Whispering Woods.

Once the comment reads "Can you see the Galactic Milky-Way?", drink ALL the milk you have, it should say that your vision is now good enough to break any spell. If it says this, and gives you five points, your done. If not, repeat the same process over again (milking cow, etc), and the second time it will give you the points (I had to do it twice).

So it is actually only six T T T T T T T paces from the entrance straight south, not TTTTTTTTTTTTTxTTT 12 as it may seem. Ok, so my map-drawing facilities aren't first class. But you get the picture. Once you get out of the maze, you may have noticed a whispering in the woods (wow what a coincidence) it says "two rings begin, three rings return" (or maybe it's vice-versa, anyway, that irrelevant). You will now be standing at a dock with a bell. Ring it twice (or is it three? Again, irrelevant, just ring it again if the ferryman doesn't come on two). Now the ferryman will arrive with his hand extended. Show him the coin Moodock gave you, and he will ferry you across the river. You are now on Canuk's Island. Go to his house. At the door, you will see a magnet on top of the door. We'll be getting that later:) Once inside, you will see a duck, a ship in a bottle, a scroll, and blueprints. Take the scroll and read it to the duck. Whammo, Canuk will appear. He will tell you some babble about the history of Zork and whatnot. Show him the disk pieces. He will now transport you into the ship in a bottle. Go into the bottle, and wander around. The time limit, I don't think is enforced (if it's really 20 minutes, it's MUCH more than you need). Get onto the ship, and go up the stairs, and you will see a number, write it down. Now go back downstairs, and down the stairs again. Pick up the rag off the cabinet, and zoom in on the safe. Enter the number you just wrote down into the safe, and open it. Now take the disk piece and the rusty metal thing out of it. Once you've done this, take your mirror, and put it in your hand (ie your mouse cursor shows you holding it). Exit the boat. Canuk, who you may have noticed by now, is controlled by Morpheus, will try to turn you into a duck. But since you are holding the mirror, it will reflect back at him. Now take the scroll, and feed it to the duck, he will lay an egg. Take the egg, and exit the house. Now cut the egg open with your knife. And you will have the scroll (I don't think this affects the gameplay, but it's nice to have:)). Next thing off, get back onto the boat (show the ferryman the coin again, and of course ring the bell a few times to get him there) and find your way back out of the forest. Now another quick thing to do is to go into town and show the blacksmith (second building on the right) your rusty old sword. Get him to fix the sword, and pay any fee he requests. He may tell you to come back in a little while, just wander around until it is fixed. Next thing is to go into the other forest, the left fork from the fork in road from the path out of town. Once in, the first thing you should do is the following, go NORTH, EAST, EAST, SOUTH, and you will be at a tree. Hit the tree with your sword, and it'll break the sword (and also drop some coins on the ground) take the coins. Now exit the forest again, via NORTH WEST WEST SOUTH, and go to the blacksmith. Complain to him that your sword is broken. He will mumble something, and give you a receipt for a new sword. Now go to the center of town again, and turn around, to face the bridge, go to the left, and you will be at Ben's boathouse. Talk to Ben. Ask him about the knot he's holding in his hand. Show him the picture of Rebecca if you've taken it buy now, and he will give you a sealed letter (if you don't have the picture yet, no rush, don't worry) and finally, give him the receipt from the blacksmith, and he will give you the True Dwarven Sword of Zork. How nice. Now back to the forest (on the fork left). This a pretty vicious forest and has lots of nasty things in it, and is rather big, as well, here again is another attempt at mapping it:) TTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT @ T T$T TTTTT TTT TTT TTT T T +=Entrance T T T T T T T \=Metallic Tree T TTT TTT T T T TTT T -=Bowman T T T T T T T T %=Grue/Fairy Area T T TTT TTTTTTT * T T &=Tree Spirit T T T T >=Leaf Trap T TTT * TTT TTT TTT T $=Boar Statue T T T T T > T @=Spider Web/Exit T T TTTTT&TTTTTTT T *=The two annoying places that force me to map T T T T T this way(you won't notice anything special TTTTT TTT TTT T TTTTT unless your used to mapping mazes of this type) T T % T T T T TTT TTT TTT TTT TTT T T T T T T T TTT TTT T T T T T T T T - T T T TTT TTT T T TTT T T T T T T T T T T TTTTTTTTTTTTT+TTT\TTT The metallic tree has already been explained. To get past the bowman, you must make sure to have some milk in your containers. Just give him the milk and he will go away, and leave his bow and arrows. Take them. Next go to the Grue/Fairy area. It will say "It's dark, just like Grues like it." Light a match (the same way you would use your inventory anywhere else), and the fairy you just rescued will talk to you, be real friendly with her, and she'll give you fairy dust (you might have to talk to her once or twice to get the dust from her). Next stop, the tree spirit. Get her to babble her annoying songs. She really isn't very useful at all. So just get out of there when you get bored. Now the leaf trap. When you see the leaves, drop something in it (not your sword) the trap will be sprung. Now just use your sword to cut your leaves, and whatever you threw in will fall to the ground, just pick it up. Now go to the boar memorial. Strike the memorial thrice (three times) with your sword, and you will get another disk piece. You can go to the spider, but you can't get past it yet anyway, so why bother, get out of this maze. Next stop, get your bootie back to Canuk's House (go through the whispering woods again). Now at his door, look at the magnet. Neat, eh? Pry it off with you sword. Now stand there, holding the magnet. Use magnet with whistle. Blow away on the whistle, and a vulture will come swooping down. Uh oh! Not at all, this vulture will carry you to anywhere that you need to go in the game! So just go to Pugney's Farm first, go to the barn again, (now might not be a bad time to fill up on milk), and go to the left behind the barn. You will be at the Vulture Pits. Pour the fairy dust onto the rotting meat, and throw it. The vultures will come out and eat the meat and fall asleep. Go into the pits and take the talon. Next, run over to the screen one screen in front of Rebecca's house (it has signs to the cliffs and Rebecca's house). Go to the left, and follow that path to the Cliffs of Depression. Take the rope from the railing. Now go back into town, and go back to Ben the boatman. Pay him for the boat. Zoom in on the boat, and take the rats out of the box and put them into the motor. Now you will be at the Witch's house. Go on inside, she won't bite. Ok, be careful what expressions you show to the witch, just be friendly. Then show her the milk that you have and she will let you take the bat cage, do so. Then show her the sealed letter from Ben, and she will give you staff, take it. Then she's outta there. Now you can either go through the swamp, or use the vulture to get out. I recommend going through the swamp, you get 5 points for it. To do so, you must walk one step out of the witch's house. Then take her staff, and place it on the ground in front of you, if it falls in, it is not safe to walk there, if it stands on it, you can proceed. I can't map that, as the swamp is different for each person, and possibly each time. Just get out, its usually not more than 7 or 8 steps. Once out of the swamp, first stop is going to be west shanbar, that's on the above ground level of the map. Go first to the mayor, and show him the Zorkian book (you got it from the Fool's Memorial), he will translate a joke for you. Now go to Ms. Peepers (the schoolhouse) and show her the book, she will tell you that Rebecca can translate it. Next stop is back down below. Wander around until Rebecca shows up, and play her the quote from Ms. Peepers about her being able to translate it, then show her the book. Next off, go back to Witch Ita, and show her the book (if she's not there, just wander around until she shows up again), and she will translate one more joke. Then go to the blacksmith, and pay his fee, and he will >> Message length exceeded, split by WILDMAIL! v3.00 << >> Continued in next message << ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- From: GARY FLETCHER Number: 5471 To: MICHAEL BLITCH Date: 05/17/94 11:51a Subj: ZORK HINT NEEDED 2/3 Refer: NONE Read: [N/A] Private: No >> Message length exceeded, split by WILDMAIL! v3.00 << >> Continued from previous message << translate the last joke.

Click on the sign, and use the knife to dig up the bonding plant. Now go back to the Cliffs of Depression. Tie the rope to the tree, and climb down the side of the cliff and go into the Comedy Club. Now playback the four jokes that the people just told you to the audience. When you are done, Cliff will give you a disk piece. Now go to the lighthouse. Give the keeper a piece of illuminyte, and show him your disk pieces, he will give you the final piece. Go up to the top of the lighthouse and tie the rope onto the railing using the cow-knot that Ben taught you. Then tie the vulture talon onto the rope, and throw the rope across the river. The talon will boomerang back and tie itself around the railing, and you will have a nice rope bridge. Cross the bridge and follow the path to the Temple Bel Naire. Take the shield from the statue, and go into the Temple. Show the Holy Woman your sword and she will bless it for you. Now exit the Temple, and turn around once. There will be a gateway in the right side of the screen, follow that path to the dwarf camp. Talk to the Dwarven dudes, and they will give you a hardhat. Take it. Then go up to the top left part of the screen and go to the mining cart. Now this is very annoying. The path you must follow to escape the mining maze is the following, where L is Left, R is Right, and S is Straight. Make sure to only click once at each intersection, as the dumb game buffers your mouse clicks and it will screw you up occasionally. The path is L R S R L R S R L L R S. (By the way that puzzle is easy, just write down each word the dwarves say to each other that is Left, Right or Straight). Once out, you will be at the temple of the muses. From left to right, but the following items on each of the statues : 1) Staff 2) Talon 3) Thermozz Center) Nothing 4) Helmet AND Box 5) Shield 6) Tele-Orb Then place the disk pieces on the bowl in front, and hit a button (green I think I hit, I don't think it matters) watch the ensuing stupidity, and they will reassemble your disk into a whole again. The center statue is different, he is not a muse, but the "Catcher" (detailed in the Mayor's filing cabinets). Make sure to pick up all the items once you are done. Now take the vulture down to the Hero's Memorial. Take the right fork in the road, and go into the Troll Cave. Put your helmet on and all will be lit up. At the first troll, swing left, the next, swing up, the third, swing down. Then at the troll king, click on "Threatening" until he wimps out and gives you the necklace. Now go back to the green forest, and find your way to the spider. Show the spider the necklace, and he will wimp out. Then go up Flood Control Damn #3 (!), and fill up your flask from the "backside of the water". Now go to the whispering woods, and go one space in, and release the bats. Pick up the bat guano, and drop it into the flask with the clear water (from FCD#3). You now have an invisibility potion. Now off to the Cliffs of Depression. From there, turn around and go to the left. Throw the Flying Disk of Frobozz, and it will dispel the illusion. Go forward into the castle, and shoot the bow and arrow at the gates, and the hand will open the door for you. Once in, an orc will start attacking you. Drink the invisibility potion, and then play back the recording of Alexis the hellhound barking, the orc will wimp out and run away. Now, at the Citadel Bridge, throw *EVERYTHING* that you have at the bridge, until you have NOTHING left in your inventory. The bridge will come back up. SAVE THE GAME NOW:) Go over the bridge for your final confrontation with Morpheus. A game of Survivor. Only now you play Trembyle instead of Canuk, which makes the game VERY hard. Here is the pattern to win, the number represents what order you should make the moves in. If he blocks the move, pass your turn, and he will move to another space, do NOT deviate from the course I give here, or you will have to forfeit and will have to start over again. 0 5 12 9 0=Where you start 11 8 1 4 14=Where you will end 6 3 10 13 C=Where Canuk/Morpheus will die C 14 7 2 Again, if he blocks your move, do NOT go anywhere else, just pass your turn, he MUST move, he is not allowed to pass. Once you complete this, you've won the game! Congratulations. The ending of the game is kinda bad, but the game itself is pretty good, I enjoyed it a lot. Some of the puzzles (the bra box) were ridiculous, and some of the scenes (the Mining Maze, COME ON! Infocom games are NOT coordination games) really annoyed me, but all in all it was a pretty good game. I don't know where to find the remaining 7 points, but obviously it isn't very important. Till next time, seeya! -bYtE -October 11th, 1993 Thanks go out to Ozone and wc who played the game concurrently with me on IRC.

Signed Temporarily insane ZORK failure! Return To Zork Almost-Full-Point Solution NOTE : At certain points in the solve I will tell you to use an item, and not tell you to pick it up again, or just mention the existence of an item in a certain room. Make sure you pick EVERYTHING up (with the exception of the things I tell you NOT to pick up:)). Anything that you leave behind, you should go back and get. Hey. Well you're playing Return to Zork, and are stucker than stuck, and need some help. Look no further, here's the solution to the game! I didn't get all the points (only 218/225) but the end is there either way, and here's how to get to it. I also believe there are a few parts of the game that are just unsolveable (ie the oven, and anything relating to hellhounds). You start off in a mountain pass. A quick thing to do is pick up the rock from the lower left hand part of the screen and throw it at the vulture. Then you might be tempted to get the bonding plant from down below. Don't. My recommendation is to wait till later in the game to get the plant. So instead, just mosey down the path to the lighthouse. Enter the lighthouse and babble with the lighthouse keeper. He really doesn't have very much interesting to say at this point, so what you say doesn't matter very much. Next go outside the lighthouse again. Now if you head down the path, you'll be at the road to the south, unsolveable, so instead, go around the back of the lighthouse. From here, cut the vines from the fence, and bind the wood panels together with the vines. Now you have a raft, use it to go one space down the river, and get off at the bridge. You are now in the town of West Shanbar, facing the town-proper. First easy thing to do is go to the building on the far right, it's a destroyed hardware store. Go in, and get the box and the crank. You don't need the mice, so leave them there. Next stop should be the close house on the right, the school house. To get in, bang the bell with the crank or the dagger. The school teacher will first quiz you with the games first copy-protection, and then give you a notebook in which you can record all of your travels in the game. Next stop is the Town Hall, close building on the left, go in, talk to the mayor, and whatever. Then read ALL the files in the cabinets. It's a lot of reading, and you'll be referring back to it later on (and a lot of this solve won't make any sense without reading it). Then after you leave Town Hall, face center of town, and turn around from there, go off to the left of the screen, towards the mill. Go into the mill, and you'll have your first encounter with Boos. First of MANY. Go out the other door into the backyard of his house, and grab the key from the floor, and pull the chock out of the water wheel (I don't actually know what this accomplishes, but it gives you two points, so what the heck:)). Go back through the house, and back to town, where you can now go to the building on the far left. Use the key to unlock the door. Go in, grab the battery off the shelves, and the money and tickets out of the cash register. Then go back to facing the bridge, and on the far right side of the screen, your mouse arrow will point down, go this way. Here you will meet the waif. Give him the tickets, and he will give you a gift, it looks like a piece of lint, but it's very important later in the game. From here, go back the old mill, and do the following. When Boos pours you a drink, pour the drink out into the plant, then make a toast with him (glasses clinking icon) then drink the empty glass. Repeat this four times, and he will pass out, opening up the Great Underground Empire. But wait, you're not done yet. Leave the mill, and re-enter it, and repeat the entire pour/toast/drink process again, but only three times this time, after he says "Damn Few.", click on the "Don't Drink & Drive" icon, and he will give you his car keys. OK, don't get too excited here, you can't drive his car, but you can now enter the GUE. Before you leave this room, also be sure to grab the flask off of the ground by his feet. Go down the passage you just opened, and you will be at a door, open the door with the car keys, and you are now in a new mill! Exit this mill, and you are now within the GUE. Follow the path straight, into East Shanbar. First building to enter is the second one on the left. Go into Moodock's Armoury, and have a chat with him, then play a game of Survivor (he'll explain the rules to you). It's also impossible for you to lose in this incarnation of Survivor (you will play a much harder version later on), so just futz around, and once you win he will give you a sword, and a coin (not a Zorkmid though). Next, out of the building, turn around from the center of town, and face the bridge. Cross the bridge, and go to the left. At the Fool's Memorial, pick up the book off of the floor. From here, proceed down the left path again, and follow it into Snoot's Farm. Enter through the window, as the door is locked. Enter the door second from the left, and in that room will be the lovely Rebecca Snoot, brushing her teeth. She'll knock you out for breaking and entering, however. When you get up, talk to her and she'll quiz you with the second and final copy-protection of the game. Once you're out of that predicament, from the main room, go into the door on the right side of the room, zoom in on the cabinet, and grab the mirror from the desk. Then again, from the main room, go through the center archway, and in the kitchen take the soap off the sink, the thermozz from the table, and open the refridgerator and take the meat out. (The meat will rot, don't worry about it, you want it to rot.) From there, put the soap in the sink, and run the water on it, you will now have soapy water, wash the waif's gift in the soap, and lo and behold, you have a piece of a mysterious disk. Neat. In the kitchen is also an oven that blows up if you turn it on (Why it does this is beyond me) and a box of cereal that you can't pick up. Again, from the main room again, go into the door on the far left. In there is Alexis the poodle/hellhound. Click on her and she will growl at you. Nothing else is necessary from the dog, but her growling is necessary for you to win the game. After you leave the building, on random occasions, Rebecca will come and meet you out on the road. When you do see her, take her picture. Next stop is the carrot silo. From the front of Rebecca's house, go up and to the right, and you will be at the carrot silo. Take the crank, and put it on the silo door, and crank it clockwise. The silo will explode and you should take some of the carrots. From here, again go up and to the right, and you will be at the Pugney farm. Go to the red house first, and DON'T take the box off the ground. Go to the door, and open the window and talk to Pugney. Be Apologetic, and he will let you take the box off the front lawn. Once you finish with him, grab the box, and now go to the blue barn behind the red house. Go inside with the cow, and take a clump of hay from the ground (left bottom corner) pick it up, drop it again, and then take the matches and light the hay on fire. Now warm your hands by the fire, and milk the cow with the thermozz. Then feed the cow the carrots. Next stop, back to Rebecca's house, and go into her kitchen (or bathroom) and fill the flask (not the thermozz) with water. Now go back to East Shanbar and go to the last building on the left. Pull lever 1 and the top of the incinerator will open. Throw the bra box into the incinerator, and pull lever 1 again. Then pull lever 2, and zoom in on the drawer. Pour the water from the flask onto the hot wire, and pick the wire up. Now take that wire, and enter the first building on the left (from the center of town) and use the wire to pick the lock. Shake the cereal box. Shake it again. Take the whistle. Next pick up the rats, and IMMEDIATELY put them into the box you picked up earlier. (The meat you picked up, by now, should have rotted away) Make SURE you put the rats into the box, or you will die a quick death. Next up is go from the center of town, straight out, to the fork in the road, pick the left one first. Pick the tiles up off the floor, and then turn around, and pick the frame up off the floor. Drop the tiles into the frame, and you have a lovely word puzzle. The solution to the puzzle is "Water unseen at falls mix with bat dropping yields potion for", and once you get that far, the last block will fall into place, "invisibility". Now, in the same place, twirl around once more, and pick up the disk piece and the two pieces of illuminyte off the floor. From here, go back to the center of town, and enter the first building on the right (by this point most people will be telling you that you stink). Buy a room from Molly Kettle, and go up to your room in the elevator. Enter the room, and place the illuminyte rocks onto the nightstand. Then zoom in on the monitor, and turn the radio on. Then turn the lights off. You will have a dream about Morpheus, the head bad-guy of the game. Next, get up, turn the lights back on, and take your illuminyte back (make sure to turn the lights on first). Exit this building now. Now for the hard parts. There are now two mazes to deal with. One is rather vicious, and one is just annoying because of what you have to do. The first woods we will discuss is the Whispering Woods, the right fork in the road from the path straight out of town. First things first, however. Go back to the silo, grab more carrots. Go back to the cow, pour your thermozz milk into the flask, and then milk the cow again (it must be done the same way as earlier). Now go to the Whispering Woods. Once you enter, your vision will start deteriorating. Once the comment reads "Can you see the Galactic Milky-Way?", drink ALL the milk you have, it should say that your vision is now good enough to break any spell.

So it is actually only six T T T T T T T paces from the entrance straight south, not TTTTTTTTTTTTTxTTT 12 as it may seem. Ok, so my map-drawing facilities aren't first class. But you get the picture. Once you get out of the maze, you may have noticed a whispering in the woods (wow what a coincidence) it says "two rings begin, three rings return" (or maybe it's vice-versa, anyway, that irrelevant). You will now be standing at a dock with a bell. Ring it twice (or is it three? Again, irrelevant, just ring it again if the ferryman doesn't come on two). Now the ferryman will arrive with his hand extended. Show him the coin Moodock gave you, and he will ferry you across the river. You are now on Canuk's Island. Go to his house. At the door, you will see a magnet on top of the door. We'll be getting that later:) Once inside, you will see a duck, a ship in a bottle, a scroll, and blueprints. Take the scroll and read it to the duck. Whammo, Canuk will appear. He will tell you some babble about the history of Zork and whatnot. Show him the disk pieces. He will now transport you into the ship in a bottle. Go into the bottle, and wander around. The time limit, I don't think is enforced (if it's really 20 minutes, it's MUCH more than you need). Get onto the ship, and go up the stairs, and you will see a number, write it down. Now go back downstairs, and down the stairs again. Pick up the rag off the cabinet, and zoom in on the safe. Enter the number you just wrote down into the safe, and open it. Now take the disk piece and the rusty metal thing out of it. Once you've done this, take your mirror, and put it in your hand (ie your mouse cursor shows you holding it). Exit the boat. Canuk, who you may have noticed by now, is controlled by Morpheus, will try to turn you into a duck. But since you are holding the mirror, it will reflect back at him. Now take the scroll, and feed it to the duck, he will lay an egg. Take the egg, and exit the house. Now cut the egg open with your knife. And you will have the scroll (I don't think this affects the gameplay, but it's nice to have:)). Next thing off, get back onto the boat (show the ferryman the coin again, and of course ring the bell a few times to get him there) and find your way back out of the forest. Now another quick thing to do is to go into town and show the blacksmith (second building on the right) your rusty old sword. Get him to fix the sword, and pay any fee he requests. He may tell you to come back in a little while, just wander around until it is fixed. Next thing is to go into the other forest, the left fork from the fork in road from the path out of town. Once in, the first thing you should do is the following, go NORTH, EAST, EAST, SOUTH, and you will be at a tree. Hit the tree with your sword, and it'll break the sword (and also drop some coins on the ground) take the coins. Now exit the forest again, via NORTH WEST WEST SOUTH, and go to the blacksmith. Complain to him that your sword is broken. He will mumble something, and give you a receipt for a new sword. Now go to the center of town again, and turn around, to face the bridge, go to the left, and you will be at Ben's boathouse. Talk to Ben. Ask him about the knot he's holding in his hand. Show him the picture of Rebecca if you've taken it buy now, and he will give you a sealed letter (if you don't have the picture yet, no rush, don't worry) and finally, give him the receipt from the blacksmith, and he will give you the True Dwarven Sword of Zork. How nice. Now back to the forest (on the fork left). This a pretty vicious forest and has lots of nasty things in it, and is rather big, as well, here again is another attempt at mapping it:) TTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT @ T T$T TTTTT TTT TTT TTT T T +=Entrance T T T T T T T \=Metallic Tree T TTT TTT T T T TTT T -=Bowman T T T T T T T T %=Grue/Fairy Area T T TTT TTTTTTT * T T &=Tree Spirit T T T T >=Leaf Trap T TTT * TTT TTT TTT T $=Boar Statue T T T T T > T @=Spider Web/Exit T T TTTTT&TTTTTTT T *=The two annoying places that force me to map T T T T T this way(you won't notice anything special TTTTT TTT TTT T TTTTT unless your used to mapping mazes of this type) T T % T T T T TTT TTT TTT TTT TTT T T T T T T T TTT TTT T T T T T T T T - T T T TTT TTT T T TTT T T T T T T T T T T TTTTTTTTTTTTT+TTT\TTT The metallic tree has already been explained. To get past the bowman, you must make sure to have some milk in your containers. Just give him the milk and he will go away, and leave his bow and arrows. Take them. Next go to the Grue/Fairy area. It will say "It's dark, just like Grues like it." Light a match (the same way you would use your inventory anywhere else), and the fairy you just rescued will talk to you, be real friendly with her, and she'll give you fairy dust (you might have to talk to her once or twice to get the dust from her). Next stop, the tree spirit. Get her to babble her annoying songs. She really isn't very useful at all. So just get out of there when you get bored. Now the leaf trap. When you see the leaves, drop something in it (not your sword) the trap will be sprung. Now just use your sword to cut your leaves, and whatever you threw in will fall to the ground, just pick it up. Now go to the boar memorial. Strike the memorial thrice (three times) with your sword, and you will get another disk piece. You can go to the spider, but you can't get past it yet anyway, so why bother, get out of this maze. Next stop, get your bootie back to Canuk's House (go through the whispering woods again). Now at his door, look at the magnet. Neat, eh? Pry it off with you sword. Now stand there, holding the magnet. Use magnet with whistle. Blow away on the whistle, and a vulture will come swooping down. Uh oh! Not at all, this vulture will carry you to anywhere that you need to go in the game! So just go to Pugney's Farm first, go to the barn again, (now might not be a bad time to fill up on milk), and go to the left behind the barn. You will be at the Vulture Pits. Pour the fairy dust onto the rotting meat, and throw it. The vultures will come out and eat the meat and fall asleep. Go into the pits and take the talon. Next, run over to the screen one screen in front of Rebecca's house (it has signs to the cliffs and Rebecca's house). Go to the left, and follow that path to the Cliffs of Depression. Take the rope from the railing. Now go back into town, and go back to Ben the boatman. Pay him for the boat. Zoom in on the boat, and take the rats out of the box and put them into the motor. Now you will be at the Witch's house. Go on inside, she won't bite. Ok, be careful what expressions you show to the witch, just be friendly. Then show her the milk that you have and she will let you take the bat cage, do so. Then show her the sealed letter from Ben, and she will give you staff, take it. Then she's outta there. Now you can either go through the swamp, or use the vulture to get out. I recommend going through the swamp, you get 5 points for it. To do so, you must walk one step out of the witch's house. Then take her staff, and place it on the ground in front of you, if it falls in, it is not safe to walk there, if it stands on it, you can proceed. I can't map that, as the swamp is different for each person, and possibly each time. Just get out, its usually not more than 7 or 8 steps. Once out of the swamp, first stop is going to be west shanbar, that's on the above ground level of the map. Go first to the mayor, and show him the Zorkian book (you got it from the Fool's Memorial), he will translate a joke for you. Now go to Ms. Peepers (the schoolhouse) and show her the book, she will tell you that Rebecca can translate it. Next stop is back down below. Wander around until Rebecca shows up, and play her the quote from Ms. Peepers about her being able to translate it, then show her the book. Next off, go back to Witch Ita, and show her the book (if she's not there, just wander around until she shows up again), and she will translate one more joke. Then go to the blacksmith, and pay his fee, and he will translate the last joke. Now go back to the Valley of the Vultures (Mountain Pass, where you start the game) (remember just click anywhere on the map now, and the vulture will bring you there).

Now playback the four jokes that the people just told you to the audience. When you are done, Cliff will give you a disk piece. Now go to the lighthouse. Give the keeper a piece of illuminyte, and show him your disk pieces, he will give you the final piece. Go up to the top of the lighthouse and tie the rope onto the railing using the cow-knot that Ben taught you. Then tie the vulture talon onto the rope, and throw the rope across the river. The talon will boomerang back and tie itself around the railing, and you will have a nice rope bridge. Cross the bridge and follow the path to the Temple Bel Naire. Take the shield from the statue, and go into the Temple. Show the Holy Woman your sword and she will bless it for you. Now exit the Temple, and turn around once. There will be a gateway in the right side of the screen, follow that path to the dwarf camp. Talk to the Dwarven dudes, and they will give you a hardhat. Take it. Then go up to the top left part of the screen and go to the mining cart. Now this is very annoying. The path you must follow to escape the mining maze is the following, where L is Left, R is Right, and S is Straight. Make sure to only click once at each intersection, as the dumb game buffers your mouse clicks and it will screw you up occasionally. The path is L R S R L R S R L L R S. (By the way that puzzle is easy, just write down each word the dwarves say to each other that is Left, Right or Straight). Once out, you will be at the temple of the muses. From left to right, but the following items on each of the statues : 1) Staff 2) Talon 3) Thermozz Center) Nothing 4) Helmet AND Box 5) Shield 6) Tele-Orb Then place the disk pieces on the bowl in front, and hit a button (green I think I hit, I don't think it matters) watch the ensuing stupidity, and they will reassemble your disk into a whole again. The center statue is different, he is not a muse, but the "Catcher" (detailed in the Mayor's filing cabinets). Make sure to pick up all the items once you are done. Now take the vulture down to the Hero's Memorial. Take the right fork in the road, and go into the Troll Cave. Put your helmet on and all will be lit up. At the first troll, swing left, the next, swing up, the third, swing down. Then at the troll king, click on "Threatening" until he wimps out and gives you the necklace. Now go back to the green forest, and find your way to the spider. Show the spider the necklace, and he will wimp out. Then go up Flood Control Damn #3 (!), and fill up your flask from the "backside of the water". Now go to the whispering woods, and go one space in, and release the bats. Pick up the bat guano, and drop it into the flask with the clear water (from FCD#3). You now have an invisibility potion. Now off to the Cliffs of Depression. From there, turn around and go to the left. Throw the Flying Disk of Frobozz, and it will dispel the illusion. Go forward into the castle, and shoot the bow and arrow at the gates, and the hand will open the door for you. Once in, an orc will start attacking you. Drink the invisibility potion, and then play back the recording of Alexis the hellhound barking, the orc will wimp out and run away. Now, at the Citadel Bridge, throw *EVERYTHING* that you have at the bridge, until you have NOTHING left in your inventory. The bridge will come back up. SAVE THE GAME NOW:) Go over the bridge for your final confrontation with Morpheus. A game of Survivor. Only now you play Trembyle instead of Canuk, which makes the game VERY hard. Here is the pattern to win, the number represents what order you should make the moves in. If he blocks the move, pass your turn, and he will move to another space, do NOT deviate from the course I give here, or you will have to forfeit and will have to start over again. 0 5 12 9 0=Where you start 11 8 1 4 14=Where you will end 6 3 10 13 C=Where Canuk/Morpheus will die C 14 7 2 Again, if he blocks your move, do NOT go anywhere else, just pass your turn, he MUST move, he is not allowed to pass. Once you complete this, you've won the game! Congratulations. The ending of the game is kinda bad, but the game itself is pretty good, I enjoyed it a lot. Some of the puzzles (the bra box) were ridiculous, and some of the scenes (the Mining Maze, COME ON! Infocom games are NOT coordination games) really annoyed me, but all in all it was a pretty good game. I don't know where to find the remaining 7 points, but obviously it isn't very important. Till next time, seeya! -bYtE -October 11th, 1993 Thanks go out to Ozone and wc who played the game concurrently with me on IRC.

I'm hoping that the government will listen to reason at the eleventh hour on this issue, but I don't hold out too much hope ! If the U.S. goes the same way Australia does, by the time a title is sold here it will have been censored twice, once by the U.S & once by the Australian government ! I-CARUMBA !!!!

Personally, I think a cheap SoundBlaster clone board (they go for about US$31 here) and a double-speed caddyless Panasonic drive (go for about US$150) is a better way to go. Spend the rest, if you want, on a collection of discs (I think a great way to start is with a half dozen good shareware collection discs, like CICA Windows, SIMTEL, (I like both of those because there seems to be more care put into their care and "grooming" than most other collections), then maybe something like the Software Vault, So Much Shareware/N, or ...To The Maxx six-disc set (which gives a LOT of "bang for the buck"). Getting into CD-ROM doesn't HAVE to be expensive, and this suggestion that one has to spend six or seven hundred (even Australian) dollars to get started is ludicrous. BTW, I just talked to a friend yesterday who swears that one Paris distributor is now selling the Mitsumi or Philips single-speed caddyless drives for $68.

Well, not really JUST that question... it's more the question of, when you want to do something that involves building a sequence of RISC instructions and maybe a loop, do you let that loop be COMPLETELY contained within the microprocessor as a firmware (microcode) subroutine, or do you force it to external memory where it maybe will occur dozens or even thousands of times, and must be fetched (from, as you point out, slow external DRAM) each time it's going to be used? Given that DRAM (like disc space) are two aspects of computing which are still qualitatively "expensive", personally I think that wasting disk and memory space on bulky sequences of RISC instructions (ones that would be eliminated by a flyspeck of silicon microcode on the processor chip) is simply dumb. In any case, it's gotten pretty far removed from CD-ROMs (although it certainly has implications regarding the types of code we're going to be seeing on CD-ROMs in the near future) and probably ought to be discussed further (if it is) in another and better-suited conference. :-) * SLMR 2.1 * --- WM v3.11 [Eval]/91-3731 * Origin: CAD Connection - Montesson, FR 33 (1) 39-52-98-54 (2:320/203) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- From: GORDON PETERSON Number: 5604 To: JACKY CHEUNG Date: 05/20/94 9:47a Subj: buying cd rom Refer: NONE Read: [N/A] Private: No JC>Hi everybody, I am planning to buy a cd rom.

You might benefit by upgrading to the lastest smartdrive and getting some CDROM caching, but I doubt it. You might also try running the program on a faster CDROM drive (a friends?) and see if the problem disappears, or just gets less severe IF it disappears, there's hope to fix it.

It took me and a few buddies a few days to beat. The key is to get 2 of each color to the other sides not right beside each other spaced out then work on the others.
