[comp.sys.amiga.games] Crazy Infuriating Journey Problem

adjones@mcnc.org (Amy D. Jones) (03/08/91)

I have the game Journey for my Amiga.  I've replayed it a number of times,
because I can never seem to solve the end puzzle with the lightning bolt
spell.  Welll, I finally downloaded a walkthrough, that had nice color
charts and a clear description of what to look for, ran through the game
again, and when I came to the end, I found that I was STILL unable to
finish it.  The problem?  If you take all the times that magic was used and
put them together to figure out what is what, you'll find that water is the
same colored powder as fire.  This seeming unbelievable, I went through the
game again, visiting all my saved positions to check on the accuracy of my
color analysis. Yup, it doesn't seem like I made a mistake.  The color for
the MUD spell is orange, and the color for FLARE is violet.  So, the pair
of colors for EARTH and WATER is Red and Yellow, and the color pair for Air
and Fire is Red and Blue.  Obviously something is wrong here.

Please.  Please someone send me a saved game at the end or something.  I've
been trying to solve this game for three years now, and I have never seen
the end.  If anyone wants to take a look at my contradictory saved game
positions, I have them saved on my hard drive.  I looked at them and
couldn't figure out anything.  To make matters worse, I went through all
the different pairs in different combinations to try and get it by
elimination.  I never produced a spark.

Have pity upon this poor soul.
