Andy Stenhouse is having problems with Nippon Safes from Dynabyte: At one part of the game, Dino is strapped to a chair by a scientist to increase his intelligence. You need to get the answers to his questions wrong on entry to show you're stupid enough - but what are the answers? The questions are (1) What is the formula of coulomb attraction? and (2) What is the formula of a sphere? The possible answers are given as multiple choice but no matter which combination of answers Andy has given, none has worked. If you can help, please let me (Sue) know. ------------------------------------------------------------------ Ron Rainbird is still looking for maps of Darkmere, Legend of Soracil and the outdoor areas of Ishar 1. If anyone can help, please contact me. ------------------------------------------------------------------ Bev Truter, our newest Australian reader (Hi Bev and Jess!) has asked me to put in a plea for two solutions, Kingsley's Mansion (PD 602) and The Thief's Adventure (PD 298). She thinks Kingsley's Mansion may be fatally bugged. ------------------------------------------------------------------ I'm looking for new copies of Crime Adventure and Stoneville Manor as there are certainly two versions of Crime, one of which runs perfectly, the other doesn't. Unfortunately the version on PD 53 is the latter! Bev also thinks there's a fatal flaw in her version of Stoneville Manor as it crashes when she types the word DIVE which is an essential input. Can anyone help? ------------------------------------------------------------------ SynTax Begging Section Solutions and/or maps are urgently needed for various commercial and PD/Shareware games, especially: Adventures Through Time, Another Lifeless Planet, Asteroid Adventure, Awe-Chasm, Battune:Crimefighter, Cadaver:The Pay Off (Level 3 onwards), Captive, Castle of Doom, Catacomb, Corporation, Crown, Deadly Labyrinth, Dead or Alive, Deep Space Drifter, Demoniak, Don't Bank On It, Dunjin, Eaglestar, Elven Crystals II, Escape from Maya's Kingdom, Everyday Adventure, Exile, Fifi's Whorehouse, Flippin' The Lid, Forbidden Quest, Frustration, Fun City Adventure, Grungy Towers, Hassle Court Adventure, Hugo I (full version), Hugo II, Hugo III, Island of Lost Hope, Island of Nephotons, Isthorn, Journey in the Past, Journey to the Centre of the Earth, Jubilee Road, Kingsley's Mansion, Last Half of Darkness, Lost Soul Adventure, Lost Stone Mansion, Magic Mansion, Maupiti Island, McMurphy's Mansion, Mercy Mission, Mister Scratch, Nethack (STAC version), Nirvana, Obscure Naturalist, Ogre, Omnicron Conspiracy, Operation Blue Sunrise, Phantom Zone, Prodigal Son, Public Investigations, Rolta (Amiga PD), Seventh Heaven, Sherwood (AGT), Snatch and Crunch, Son of Stagefright, Stoneville Manor, Suicide or Murder, Talisman (Amiga PD), Thief's Adventure, Time, Treasure of the New Kingdom, T-Zero ... or anything else not covered already in the magazine or listed in the solutions section. ------------------------------------------------------------------ @~If you've got a problem, maybe a SynTax reader can help.
