Also, this walkthru will be much more quicker than the other one - it took far too long for me to write that one cos I was trying to write it in a way of not giving away the answer to quickly ie clues and stuff. Not sure I can be bothered to do that.

OK lets get started.

commands:
n,e,w,s north east west south
u,d up down
save suspend - save
resume - resumes
look - describes location and items again.
help - some of what ive just mentioned, and one or two other things
You are standing on a plateau, with a boulder, an overhanging tree to the south and a path to the West. there is a rope on the overhanging tree. If you go south, you die. If you go W, you are in an area with a steel grate. If you go S from steel grate, you are at the edge of acliff with a platform below and a cactus tree. You cannot go Down, or anywhere else.
Go back to Boulder and "Push Boulder". you will see a rope.
"get rope"
Go west. theres the grille. you can see through it, but not much else. go south again to be at edge of cliff with the cactus, and the platform below. Well, you have a rope, and a cliff with a platform below. So, what would you do?
"tie rope" then you can go down ( "d").

Mine entrance level: From platform, go W - there is a blocked exit to N. go W again and you are in a lift with a button on the wall. Well, what should one do with a button? "press button"

you are in the lift lower level.

To be continued.
 
you are at the lower level of the mine, in the lift, with button on wall.
go E,E to be at skeleton - he hasnt eaten for ages, apparently. from skeleton, go N to be in room with collapsing walls. theres a bucket here with sand. hmm! interesting! might be something in it, under all that sand. we should tip all the sand out! "get bucket" then "empty bucket" to reveal a glass cutter. "get cutter".

Go S back to skeleton, W, then N and N to end up in a room with a mine pick in a glass case. Right, well, you have a glass cutter, and theres a glass case with a mining pick inside.
"cut glass", and the pick falls out."get pick". Right, remember that loose rock at the entrance level? back to the lift (s,s,w), and "press lift" to go back up. then "e" to be at the passage going north but blocked with rock. This time, you should have a pick on you.
"pick rock". i know, strange english, but i got it right straight away.
you immediatly enter a small room with cobwebs, and a container of food.
"get food"
theres nothing else to do, and theres no other exits apart from the way you came in - which is blocked again.
"pick rock" again to go back out. then go back down again and to the skeleton ( w, press button, e,e ).
ok, this strange container of food, you cant open it, you cant eat it. it is strange. but this skeleton, its hungtry - it looks like it hasnt eaten for 100 years! it must be famished. i reckon it could do with some grub.
so, lets try "feed skeleton". it speaks! it says a cryptic message, ending with "just say ZWOOF". If you "say zwoof" now, you will get the message that you cant do that here. right, well, it must be somewhere else that you say this.
from skeleton, go W, N, W to be in a room with a door in the ceiling.
"open door" then U.

you are in what I call the middle level.


to be continued.
 
you are in the middle level of the mine, with a door in the floor.
Froom floor door room, go N,E,E to be in lightning room. go N to be in a room with a bare electric wire. "touch wire" or "pull wire" and you get sucked into the wire.

you are now in a room with an empty light socket. go west and south to be in a room with a stone slab and a spear. The spear has a rope, and the spear is imbeddedd into the slab. that spear just will not come out. get spear, get rope, pull spear, pull rope, cut rope - nothing works. I think there must be some secret to getting this spear and rope. magic maybe?
"say zwoof" and bingo! the spear gets released. "get spear".

if your hands are full, u cant carry anymore, drop something.
"invent" for your inventory. drop container, or pick, or cutter, or blucket, or all of them.

From spear room, go N,N to be in a room with a chute going downwards. the only way out of this group of four rooms is down the chute. "d".

You end up in a room with a chute you've just come from. you can't go up it. go W, and you are back at the skeleton. Lets get back to the lightning room on the middle level.
From skeleton, W,N,W (ceiling door), U (floor door ),N, E, E.

From here, go N (electric wire) and E. you are in a room with a pit. theres a room on the other side of the pit to the south. how we gonna get across this chasm?
Why, with our spear and rope of course!! "throw spear".
The rope creates a bridge to the south. go S.
you will find a coin. "get coin"

to be continued.
 
you should just have picked up the coin in the location just south of pit room.

Go back to lightning room .. N (pit room), W (electric wire), S (lightning room ).

From lightning room, go S - or at least try: surprise! the coin gets hit by lightning and you get thrown back to the lightning room. Eh? what on earth? wonder whats that all about? there doesnt seem to be anyway of going south from lightning room cos the coin gets hit by lightning.

Drop coin in lightning room (any room, actually, but lightning room convenient) , then go south. no bolt of lightning! then go E to be in a room with a slot and an 'insert coin message'.

This room also has a grate in the ceiling. A grate eh? now where did we see that before? right at the start, near that boulder! OK, so we cant get to this room when we are carrying a coin, and we need the coin for the slot. but there is a grate in this room. That grate is interesting, if we were above it, a small item could fall through it!

From slot room, go back to lightning room (W,N) and pick up the coin (assuming you left it in the lightning room) and head back to the top of the plateau ... to get there from lighting room, w,w,s (floor door), D (ceiling door), E,S,W (lift) press button (entrance level), E,E (platform), U (edge of cliff). N to find the grate.
ok, drop the coin "drop coin". and the coin falls through grate! yay!!

back to slot room! to get there from grate, S (edge of cliff), D (platform), W,W (lift), press button (lower level), E,N,W (floor door), D (ceiling door), N,E,E (lightning room) then S and E.

you should now be in slot room , and see the coin.
"get coin" followed by "insert coin" (or "drop coin". those crazy adventure writers have been caning those beers).
A hacksaw should appear. "get hacksaw"

Head back to lightning room (W,N from slot room) , then go W and N to be in a cavern with a chained mine car. theres an exit to the west, but dont go down that way, cos the car comes loose and kills you.

It is chained, and you have a hacksaw. This should be easy.
"cut chain"
 
Ok, thats it, hope you guys enjoyed that one.
I lost alot of time on the food container - a week!!.
Once i got that out of the way, it was relatively easy to complete.

Next one is Explore Castle. stay tuned.
