[comp.sys.mac] Dark Castle hints needed

chow@batcomputer.tn.cornell.edu (Christopher Chow) (01/08/87)

Help!!!  I'm stuck Dark Castle!  How does one get the fireball?  I can get
the shield but I'm stuck on "Fireball 4".  What do you do after you get past
the broom?  I got to the platform but can't figure out what to do from there.

thanks in advance for any hints,

Christopher Chow

Oh, come on.  It's not so hard.  Try pulling the cords on the platform.
Do it in the right order and something interesting will happen.  The few
puzzles in Dark Castle are trivial compared to some other games (say
HHGTTG), and part of the fun of the game is figuring them out.

(And now, after that, a question of my own.)  Does anyone know if there
is some deterministic way of figuring out the order in which you should
pull the cords?  (Note that I am not asking for the answer, just an
indication as to whether there is an answer.)
