Indeed you're right. And thanks for the suggestion, I'll watch it.

I have absolutely no idea about Ameena's - looks like a vertical Sim City to me.

Oh_Brother's is the

Which reminded me of an infamous game:



the cartridgers of which ended up burried in the deserts of New Mexico .

Finally a game that I know! And I'm even not from the UK and still not 40!

Knight Lore!

Maybe she wants him to make a complete fool of himself on the World scene (not very difficult, can happen this week already) and then get rid of him once and for all?

Hammond gets the Treasury, it's a good news on the other hand, he's dull but efficient and reasonable.

This is way more painful than expected, there are pits/teleporters everywhere it seems so I quickly end up disoriented. I don't know how people did this in the pre-internet era. It took some of us months or even years to complete the game without any help other that the Oracle. Patience, my young a...

Dear oh dear, Boris Johnson is the Foreign Secretary... now, that is the bad news. Apart from the fact that he's a complete loony and totally unsuitable for the job, he'll be a continuous embarassment for Britain abroad. For us foreigners, though, this might be quite funny - we've lost Gaddafi with ...

Theresa May to be the next PM. It's the first good news IMHO, better than I hoped - of course she's not perfect but from all the potential candidates she's definitely the best for the job. Oh, and she studied geography, by the way .

I find that when I choose a wing some of them are outright dead ends and I can't get back. I must be dumb. Or maybe I'm not supposed to touch the freebie in the altar? As far as I remember, there are two "dead ends" - but they are not real dead ends, they just look so. If you read the hin...

Yeah, you're right, Terkio.

I can't believe it! I've been playing this game for several hours now and I'm still on level one, with no stairs in sight! This is colossal! Unfortunately I have to stop here for a week now because my real life is getting in the way .

OK, ignore me, there's this

- my, oh, my, I must have spent half an hour there walking around... OK, I'm on the right track again. So it's still zero stucks there.

Right, I'm now officially stuck for the first time - still level one ( ) - the two parallel "endless" corridors, where you obviously get turned and teleported between the two, I can't figure it out.

Now this one should keep me busy for a couple of weeks I guess. It's massive! I almost died of thirst at the beginning but then when all looked desparate I finally found a fountain. Then when I thought I was finally getting to the end of level one I realised that I only finished the first of three p...

Right, so I started this one. Get ready for an endless stream of silly questions. :) (although, as I always say to my students when they seem to be "afraid" to ask, a silly question from a student is always better than a silly answer from a lecturer... ("if you think your question is ...

Frankly, with some simplification, most modern games look all the same to me, like different levels of the same game. Also, I think they put too much emphasis on graphics, technology and being "realistic". As I said, I love old pixel point-and-click adventures because they're funny and the...

Right, I played this one. Beautiful little dungeon, Saumun, well done, great idea, loads of fun, excellent!

When I got to the Giggler corridor, I thought, "damn, this is going to be either Yes (Prime) Minister or Monty Pythons" - and I was right!

Hmmm, looks like I've missed quite a lot of stuff in this game. I can't remember any place with "6 niches". More importantly, I never found any runes for any attack spell so I couldn't cast a fireball or any other spell except those with one rune (light, stamina, health). Dear, oh dear. :r...

I liked that the Gem hole at the start helped to make me 'look' at the orange gems and see they were power runes.

Oh, so is this the only purpose of the gem hole and there's nothing behind the flame?

Oh, look, Money's still alive! :D Welcome back, old pal! :P If this works (first time posting pic) thought I would start easy to give Jan a chance! Well, thanks, that's very generous and all, you remembering me as the lowest common denominator :) , but I don't know any of your games :wink: . But nev...

You wouldn't dare! Certainly not a solo run with reincarnated Buzzz (and no training in the Prison underground)!

Right, so I finally managed to get out, on ca 20th attempt, but, Zed, you should have heard the language! So, I managed to finish the game, the final boss was quite funny (although you don't actually need to meet him to finish the game which is quite strange). Score: - I played with reincarnated Cha...

OK, I'm officially stuck here. Probably the same spot as RAF, where you descend into a pit full of Slimes. I can't survive here. One single hit from one single Slime and I'm dead. I can see there's a switch on the wall, I can even get to it and push it when I'm lucky enough, but I can't go any furth...

I'm referring to the situation when you're standing in front of that door and don't have a gold key - you can still go through that door (i.e. get the key) but it requires some walking around.. here... and there... But, yeah, well, we're trying to talk in riddles so that we don't spoil it to G. so w...

Hmmm, that's strange, of course you should have some troubles doing it, but not too much troubles, particularly if you cleared all the annoying daemons. The Firestaff should erect a "cage" on the square directly in front of you. Chaos must be completely contained / surrounded by walls and/...

Right, so I started this one. Got to the Spider / Rat level. It's been a year since I last played a dungeon game, so I'm feeling a bit rusty. But this one is very good. But, come on - consumable

Spider Eggs

? You must be kidding me! Double yuck! (of course I ate them all...)

Hahaha! /rubs his hands/ As Ameena says, you've chosen the hardest of the four ways. If you manage to finish it, you are the true Dungeon Master! As for the area between the Laughing Pit and the Gold Key Door, there is a way if you don't have a key as Saumun suggests. You just have to look around ca...

I absolutely adore old point-and-click adventures - Monkey Island 2 or Indiana Jones and the Fate of Atlantis have pixel but still wonderful graphics for instance. In my view, games like this just don't age.

Frankly I'm still in shock. I can't even begin to understand how bad this might get. Those who voted leave based on a feeling and without checking facts have basically destroyed Britain. It'll never be the same again. I'm afraid I agree completely. It hurts me a lot to see this happening to the cra...

I never use any armour or shields, they're too heavy and completely useless. I only wear the old good leather stuff. If I have a stronger character, I give him/her the Mithril armour, but only because it looks and kind of feels better :) . As for weapons, I prefer swords - gradually Falchion, Sabre,...

It won't be difficult to do better in the next run :D We shall see :) . Just a question first: is it possible to "get stuck" as in do something that guarantees you can't finish and starve/die of thirst/etc..? In general, food and water are a much bigger problem in CSB than in DM for and u...

Can you accidentally hit one of your own soldiers, preferably that one on the horse? That would be even funnier...
