CASA ::

Jason,
a. I had previously taken the cloak before wearing it and done the same for another item you can wear thus causing the inventory limit problem. It was this bug that prevented me from getting the plug.

b. The laundry bag and a few other items don't serve any purpose (for example the rug doesn ...

I've completed the original PET version. For anyone who wishes to play I suggest using the same machine settings that I used.

I used VICE PET.
Under Preferences > Settings

Machine > Model
choose "Model" = PET 4032B (since it is a British game)
and "Display width" = 40 Columns

Peripheral devices ...

Collecting the sphere gives you points in the PET version and although there is a clue on how to deal with the zombie there does not seem to be any reason why you should deal with him as he causes little hindrance.

I am now stuck at our old friend the plug. So far the only way I have managed to ...

Update.

The manure is in the castle area. Unfortunately all of the castle area seems to be dark which makes extensive exploration difficult as the lamp keeps going out.

I've spent some time with the original PET version. I now know what you need to get past the web (LanHawk was right), it then took me ages to realise that in this version the silver throne itself is the treasure and is not part of an additional puzzle.

The dark hooded figure on horseback turns up ...

Hannes, there are no games attributed to FrantiÅ¡ek Fuka and JiÅ™i Koudelka so deleting those entries is not a problem. The question that you have now made me realise is which is the correct spelling for František Fuka/Frantisek Fuka and Jiři Koudelka/Jiri Koudelka? Not knowing the answer I will ...

The problem with Jiři Koudelka and František Fuka is that they are actually duplicates. When I tried correcting them, it is not possible due to that.

So should I delete FrantiÅ¡ek Fuka and JiÅ™i Koudelka, then rename Frantisek Fuka and Jiri Koudelka to František Fuka and Jiři Koudelka ...

Garry, you won't be able to see it because it is admin only, but there is a page for editing authors' names and details which shows all of the names entered on the site. So there is no need for to go through individual entries to find problem names. The same goes for "Genre", "Publisher", "System ...

Hannes, I see that you have committed the fix but some parts have gone wrong :(

In the fix page that you posted the apostrophes and dashes for the user comments for https://solutionarchive.com/game/id%2C330/Lords+of+Karma.html were properly corrected, but with the fix applied those messed up ...

Very good! I've updated the linked page. This now represents what I consider a complete set of fixes all across the website. I'll leave it for review in case anyone spots any mistakes which make it worse. I can pull the trigger any time.

I've taken a few minutes to peruse the fixes and I haven't ...

I'm still looking into what other database fields could be affected. Is there any impact on the forums as well or only on the website?

The umlauts in the thread Jörg Walkowiak's "Gold Fever" - https://solutionarchive.com/phpBB3/viewtopic.php?t=871 - are present and correct. So the forum is ...

Yes, the user comments - see: https://solutionarchive.com/game/id%2C330/Lords+of+Karma.html:
"I’m a big fan of Avalon Hill Microcomputer Games and have nearly all of these titles in my game collection. Lords of Karma can’t be 1978 given one primary fact. Avalon Hill in context to computer ...

This is a rough equation in hex I've devised that may explain what is going on, where:

x is the value of the actual character
y is the value of the first rogue character
z is the value of the second rogue character

I'm getting the values from https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Unicode ...

Add
½ => ½
â => â
è => è
Ç => Ç
Å« => ū
also I am seeing î (see links below), I think it should be Î or î

Thanks Garry for bringing this to our attention. I noticed this for one entry back on the 16th, but I hadn't realised it was site wide. I hope there is an easy solution, the thought of correcting each error individually does not appeal.
