[net.games] Need Help with adventure!

CSvax:mss@pur-ee.UUCP (07/01/83)

I am currently playing adventure and I am now facing this
" fierce green snake". I have the axe that a dwarf threw at
me but I have yet to discover a method to get rid of the snake.
I have tried swing, chop, kill, etc... but nothing works. I even
fed the little bird to the snake with no results. I have the black
rod also. Can someone tell me how to get past the snake?

try throwing the bird.

So! A fierce green snake bars the way...

Drop the bird.

You are cheating.  If you can't handle the game on your own, give it up.
The whole point of the game is to find the answers to the problems, not
ask someone for them.  Adventures are not for winning, they are for playing.

People who send out specific solutions to problems in {Adventure, Zork,
Haunt...} over the net are scum.  Have you ever considered that there might
be people who dont *want* the answer?  Once you know it, you know it.

On a related topic, I wouldn't mind a little inspiration in Haunt as
to how to manage to spend the entire night in the house without going
insane.  I have what I believe to be the item(s) I need but I haven't
been able to convince the program to let me do what I believe is the right
thing with it/them.  Any hints out there?  I DON'T want to be told the
answer!  Please respond via mail and not on the newsgroup.
