Anyone remember? Pick up the first torch you come across (ie the one on the platforms at the beginning). Press the down cursor to throw it to the floor. Now find the other torch up a screen. Now go back down onto the original level and hang about between the 'dead-end' corridor in the top left and the nearby down-ladder, brandishing your new torch. When a 'little man' comes up the ladder rush through him and double back on your-self to trap him. Do this until you have all four trapped. Now squash them all down to the end of the corridor until they become 'one'. When they're thoroughly squished dash right and diagonally down (i.e the route they usually take.) Make sure they go down to where your other torch lies. Ensure you are one platform level off the bottom and stand at the top of the ladder that they've just gone down. When they try to come back up the ladder they'll see the torch and turn back to trundle off left instead. Then run off to the top of the ladder on the far left of the plaform you're on and drop the torch ('D'). Having seen all their 'exits' are blocked they go on a suicide run through the spiders, whereupon you can shadow them to the middle to pick up the sword. > And how do I get past that witch when you go down near the water? How did you get their without getting through the spiders first? Anyway, to answer your question, witches don't like getting wet IIRC. Yup, I've started playing this game after 10 years away from it, and the above is about all I can remember about it! Anyone know how you get your sword etc., back after you've escaped from prison? Do you make sure you don't get caught with it first place, or what? comp.sys.acorn.games.6502 anyone? ;-) -- Andy Ward | andy@connectiv.co.uk | Connectiv Internet Consultants
