I'm posting this for a friend, please mail me any responses. ==== 1/21/89 I'm writing from out of the depths of nowhere in hopes that you might be able to help me save my sanity. I've been playing Radical Castle for the past week and am stuck. I was hoping that perhaps you could give me a clue as to what I'm doing wrong....here's the deal. ...so far, I've found my way into the castle which is where I assume the oracle is. Along the way, and in the castle (all in all), I've killed a Marshall, a Vulture, a Wizard (serveral times), a Turkey (twice), a Programmer, a Skunk (twice), a Worg, a Bunny Rabbit, and a Skeleton... ...I've also managed to collect a sword, a helmet, some armour, some carrots, a pocket watch, a rabbit's foot, a key, a crystal ball, an urn, a multi- colored apple, a torch, fido's bowl, a bathroom door, a wishbone, a credit card, a strange substance, a bottle of whiskey, an external disk drive, a shovel, and a diamond... ...I've been everywhere I think I can go, I've searched, I've clicked, I've tried to open, and I still cannot seem to figure out what I'm doing wrong. The oracle (in the tower) is the Macintosh, and it says that the oracle is heavily chained, or that I don't have the tools to do anything with it. So I'm stuck. Any suggestions? Thanks for your time.

The Mac is connected with the standard Apple security kit and you need a TORX driver to disconnect it from the security cable. You have to find it somewhere (can't remember where).
