Wow, I thought such games were extinct by now....
Anyway, I liked it (haven't looked at it for a few years now),
and my problem is that once I've gotten to the level with
the yoyo, string, and all those other strange goodies (I think
it's level 4), I run out of ideas. The only way out of that section
of the maze I can see is UP, and it's a LOT harder to "fall up" than
down (the pit on level 2). I did have a few levels of it mapped out,
but I might not have the map now. Has anyone solved this without any
spoilers or looking at the object code?

I was never able to solve it (and last time I asked I couldn't get any
definitive help), but I'm willing to help you avoid that problem above.
I was never able to get to the mythical 5th level.
Feel free to mail or post to rec.games.misc if you have solved it.
I MAY (it's been a while) have a map of the first 4 levels available...
SPOILER!
Throw String.
[The monster gets tangled up in the string]
Stab monster.
[The monster is dead] (or something like that).
END SPOILER

I got hooked on this game for a while and mapped out the first 4 or 5 levels but gradually ended up with a large wuantity of stuff I didn't know what to do with and no apparant exit after some time. Mine also had the tendency to bomb sometimes so I soon lost interest. I tried looking at the object code but about all the useful information I got out of that was a list of commands to try. I think I have all my maps and such lying around somewhere because they were pretty small levels (in comparison to Wizardry or such). Jay Shrauner jas@dadent.wustl.edu
