The first is Hampton Manor (PD600). She is close to the end (91%) and only has to find the fifth and last gem. She has the ruby, emerald, sapphire and opal but can't find another gemstone. Can YOU help? The second is the Abbey, by the same author and on the same disk. It is a much harder game and Bev can only find 1/10 treasures. Again, can anyone help? ------------------------------------------------------------------ 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.
