[comp.sys.atari.st] Help wanted for Chrono Quest

ferneau@silver.bacs.indiana.edu (Mark Ferneau) (02/24/89)

Has anyone found the time machine or the secret room(s) in the castle?
If so, could you please tell me how?  I have gone through all of the
conventional rooms and have (I think) looked at everything and tried
most things to the objects.  I believe that the cabinet/bureau in the
office downstairs has something to do with it.  I think it has to move
and the lab is on the other side.

What does everyone think about the user interface?  I think it is 
poorly designed, difficult to use (as you have to try everything to
get some response it seems) and a waste of time.  Granted, I would not
have bought the game if it was interactive text, but I was told that
the gameplay and user interface was much better than that of Captain
Blood, so I bought CQ and am very disappointed.  However, my roommates
and I would still like to finish the game.

Thanks!!

Mark Ferneau asked for help with ChronoQuest..
 
Have you gone downstairs yet..?  The only use for the office is to obtain the
one object that's moveable in there.
 
Going downstairs will subject you to more of this game's illogical design..
 
Unfortunately, I won't be able to help much beyond the first trips in the
Time Machine.. the abysmal interface and the sadistic copyprotection made
me give up and sell the game at the last user group swap meet...
 
   ...and I felt bad about the poor shmuck who got stuck with it...
