George's Hints and Tips

                  Sent in by George Smith

Zork II

Can't open the door to the tiny room? - The key is still in the
lock on the inside. Try putting something under the door to catch
the key, then push it out using another object.

Don't know what the bucket is for? - It was made by the Frobozz
Magic Well Company. Read the engraving. Stand in it then pour
water into it.

Want to launch the balloon? - Inflate it with hot air by burning
something in the receptacle.

Guarded room a problem? - You'll need a key from the unicorn and a
box of candy from the pool of water.

Knight Orc

To recruit the troll - Collect as much silver as you can, let her
steal something from you and move away. She should follow. Repeat
until you are a long way from the bridge and almost out of
treasure. Drop your remaining items and dash back to the bridge,
open the door and enter the lair. Get the wallet and command the
troll.

Jinxter

Why does the gardener run off with the sack? - He hears you
coming. Put some oil on the runners of the boathouse door.

To get the oil - Get the plastic bottle, pour the contents into a
suitable container and try some cold magic.

To open Xam's mailbox - Warm the plastic key with something hot.


Hole in the canoe a problem? - Find something that pongs, put the
bung inside it and put the whole thing in the hole.

Need the metal stool from the clockmaker's shop? - Knock at the
door. Throw something at the oil lamp. Oojimy the hot stool.

Plundered Hearts

To stop the explosion - Tear a piece from your frock, soak it in
liquid and throw it over the gate.

Can't escape from the ship? - Climb into the cask and cut the
line.

Hitch Hiker's Guide to the Galaxy

To show intelligence to open the screening door - Show the door
both tea and no-tea at the same time.



To use the electronic hitch-hiking device - Press the green
button. In the dark, keep waiting and read the responses very
carefully. Once you can smell, smell!

Space Quest II

Caught in a snare? - You can't avoid being snared. In the cage,
call the hunter twice and when he comes near, let him have it with
the spore. Then take his key.

King's Quest II

Need a light? - Look for a candle in the dresser in the upstairs
bedroom.

Key to the chest missing? - You will need to use the mallet and
stake on Dracula to get it.


Stationfall

Can't find a coin? - Try blasting the box in the loan shark's
office.

King's Quest III

To get money for a drink - Pull the rope in the hole in the tree
in the desert.  Be sure when you climb the tree that there are no
bandits waiting above.

Wand not available? - Try searching in the study.

Guild of Thieves

To deal with the rats on the stairs - Open the stopcock, pull the
pipe, wait, close the stopcock, head down the stairs.

Bank manager won't let you in the vault? - Chew the gum and teach
the bird to say Hooray. In the office, shake the champagne
bottle, drop the cage and bottle and wait to be escorted out. When
the door is locked behind you, put the gum in the keyhole. Then
sing and fly.

Bureaucracy

Stuck on the plane? - Sit in seat 3C and wait for the food. Go to
seat 8D, press the light button. Return to 3C. When the phone
rings, go to the back and say STINGLAI KA'ABI to the attendant.
