MAGIC MANSION.

        A Text Adventure Game on SynTax PC Disk 219.

             Solution submitted by Tom Lorimer.

Please note: This game has been fatally bugged since it was
released in 1994 by its author Denise Sawicki.
Thanks go to Bev Truter for having the patience to go through it
and fixing the bugs to make the game playable.
If you bought a copy of Magic Mansion from SynTax, please return
it to Sue and she will replace it with a working version of the
game.

Notes:
1. Save the game often as you have no control over the other
characters, and meeting up with the wrong one at the wrong time
will kill you off and return you back to the DOS prompt.
2. The bar of soap is very slippery, so make sure you have it when
confronted by the cat.

Let's start by examining the floor. Pick up the blue ring and go
west into the bathroom, Take the soap and return to your bedroom.
Wear the ring then walk east through the door. If confronted by
the cat, throw the soap at it, but remember to pick it up again.
Go east, northeast, west to the bottom of the stairs where you can
drop the soap. Go up, south, east, east into the kitchen and open
the refrigerator. Take the drumstick and eat it. Go west,
southwest, west into the entry room and examine the flower. Dig in
the soil then open the flower. Go northeast, east and throw bone
at dog.  Take the bone back and the dog will be your friend.

Go west, up, west and examine the bookshelves. Go east, south and
examine the computer. Read the computer and take note of the word
PLOG as it's the combination to the safe. Go north, east and
examine the safe.  Turn sixteentwelvefifteenseven then go south
into the safe.  Take the money and eraser and go back north. Close
the safe then go east, south, east and pick up the box. Go west,
north, west, west, up, west, south and drop everything except the
blue ring. Pick up the apron and cap and go north, east, down,
down, down, east, southeast, west, and tell Bitsy to stay. Walk
west through the door back to your cell then go west into your
bathroom and drop the apron, cap and blue ring.

Stay there until move 103 when you will hear the Wizard return and
say the password which will open the hidden doors. Go east back to
your bedroom where the door will open and the Wizard will check to
see if all is well. When he leaves go west into your bathroom and
pick up the apron, cap and blue ring and wear them all.  Go east
then call Bitsy then walk east through the door and make your way
back to the Wizard's bedroom. Pick up the silver key and make your
way up to the landing outside the pink bedroom.

Save the game here as the Wizard will zap you if he finds you with
his possessions.

Unlock the box with the silver key and open it. Remove the
certificate, read it then erase the bar to reveal the Wizard's
name. Drop the certificate and eraser and pick up the diamond
ring, bracelet, book and dollars and head back to the entry room.
When you are confronted by the Wizard, say NAMEIPELPRUP and the
Wizard will disappear in a puff of smoke.  When you reach the
entry room say ARGAHARG and the hidden door will open and you will
appear in the Wizard,s front yard. Open the mailbox and take the
envelope.

Open it and read the letter. Read the book and it will teach you
how to make a paper aeroplane. Tell Bitsy to stay then go north
into the garden. Have another look and a rabbit will appear with a
golden collar around its neck. Unfasten the collar then go
southeast into the back yard. Enter the pool and deflate the raft.
Take the raft and exit the pool. Go south behind the garage and
say ARGAHARG to open the door. Enter the car and take the gold
coin then leave the garage the same way. Return to the front yard
then go south to the driveway and throw the plane.

Drop everything and call Bitsy and put the plane on his back. Pick
everything up then go west to the dirt road. Go south then drop
everything and take the plane off Bitsy.  Drop the plane and pick
everything up then enter the plane.  Press the button then fly
west towards the building and land the plane. Disembark and go
into the store where you can buy a map with the five dollars.
Return to the plane and drop everything so that you can place the
plane back on the dog.  Pick up your possessions and go north
where you can drop them again to get the plane. Once in the plane,
push the button then go south, south, southwest, south, east,
southeast and land the plane. You can now go west into your home
where all your birthday presents are waiting to be opened.

Happy Birthday.
