[comp.os.msdos.misc] Captain Comic - Hint Wanted

zen@phoenix.pub.uu.oz.au (Zen) (12/29/90)

	Captain Comic is a great shareware game, better than most in the
commercial area. Indeed, it will be QEdit and Captain Comic that I will 
register first as soon as I have an income.

	However, I have become stuck. Where can i find the teleportation
wand? I seem to have reached every area possible without it, and am
left with the atom room (I can't jump to get the lantern, even with the
boots) and the room with the large window looking out onto the lake where
there is a solid wall between me and the next room.

	I think that the wand is in the "cave" area.

You should add 4Dos to your list of incredible Shareware software.  I love
Qedit as well.  I have played C.C., but I am not much of a game fan.  UUPC
is getting rather good now as well, and the all-time best Hard Drive menu
program, HDM.

If you thought Captian Comic I release 4.0 was great, Captian Comic II is a commercial product which supports VGA!!!  It's even better.

You seem to have completed the game..  Please Help!  I have gotten the wand, but it never works to get the lantern in the atom room.  The lantern is all I lack to finish.  Is there a trick or a special place to stand/thing to do?

The Magic Wand is at the far left in the game, continue left after you get the boots and got back to tamid. Down in the cave is Magic Wand and Gold.

=======================

When you first get to the cave go right.  After fighting your way a ways
there will be hanging 'sections' with a walkway underneath.  You have to
jump up on the sections go right up top till you hit a door - go through
the door - You come out in a pit - go left.  As soon as you get over the
pit 2 termites and 2 frogs will be at you.  Continue left through the
3 'holes in the wall'  - Jump high and ease off as you come down - you'll
land on the rim of the hole.  Keep going left - the wand is at the top of 
a little rise.  Go left after you get the wand to a door.  Now go get the
gold.

My best score so far is 1,231,000  What is the best score so far.  I've
heard of 1,300,000+

Perhaps there are some readers who haven't been through the cave!
Shouldn't postings revealing game solutions contain a spoiler alert
to warn off those still enjoying the adventure?

Spoilers Below ! ! !

Yes i have completed the game. :-))

After you got the wand and is back at the sealandscape continue right to where 
you enter the lanscape first time AND continue right till the next door (at 
the sealandscape). 
When you have completet several lanscape here you came to the lanterna on left 
side.

I have found no way to teleportation to the lanterna from the right side, does 
sombody found an easyer way to get the lanterna??.

So have I...

I think this is _extreemely_ unlikely, and I would be disappointed as well as
surprised if it turned out to be possible, for then you'd be able to complete
the game without visiting a substantial proportion of the locations. I think
this would be a shame.

Look in the cave area.  If you liked comic, You'll love Captian Kroz!  Try it, it's even better.
