[net.games] Zork II help needed

naivar@dspo.UUCP (07/31/84)

I would appreciate it if anyone could give me a hint how to solve
the baseball puzzle in Zork II. I know the club is a bat and the 
diamond-shaped windows have something to do with it, but I can't 
seem to "get past first base." Also, any help with getting past
the guardian or what to do with the violin would be greatly 
appreciated.

					Thankya fer yer hep

Okay, I have painstakingly worked on the bank vault puzzle and have failed.
It is now time to get a complete spoiler. can someone please tell me how
to get into the stupid vault (and no hints - I want a complete spoiler).

Bank vault spoiler:

One can walk through the curtain of light if he is not holding a treasure.
This puts you in the small square room.
Then you can walk south through the south wall of that room.
Where you end up depends upon the direction from which you
last entered the room with the curtain of light.
I forget whether you want to have come from the Chairman's office
or not (I think not), but in one case or the other you end up in the
vault where there is a stack of Zorkmid bills.
Walking north again gets you into the small room and then south
to get back to the room with the curtain.

To get treasures out, throw them through the curtain.

Help!  I'm having trouble getting out of the bank vault without giving the gnome
any of my valuables.  In other words, how do I get the portrait and zorkmid
bills out of the bank?  I've already found out that if you get out once and then
go though the curtain you end up in a viewing room.

Well, you could throw them through the curtain of light.
Of course, who knows where they'd end up??
