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. -- _____ Two elephants fell off a cliff.

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

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.

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. =============================================================================== Gunnar Dahlstrom Chalmers University of Technology Div.

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+ Richard Richard Ducoty \\\\\\\ Microport Inc.

Down in the cave is Magic Wand and Gold. ^^^^^ Tambi Probably you didn't see the door; it almost looks like just more wall. You have to take the upper track through the cave. ----------------------------------------------------- Gordon S. Hlavenka cgordon@vpnet.chi.il.us

Speaking of Captain Comic:
- Has anyone else noticed this "feature": When you die, keep the spacebar
down. When you get a new life, the captain will fly for a short while
at the top of the screen. You can use this to get the teleport wand.
- Someone asked about maximum scores in Captain Comic. I can't remember
what our maximum score is (I think it is about 1.800.000), but it merely
reflects our patience. There are a few places where you can stay safe
and sound and shoot all the nasty creatures - we've used that to get
many new lives during the game. It makes a good, loooooong game.

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? -- ******* ******************************************* ***** ******************************** Floyd Miller *** ************** floyd@starsend.UUCP * ******** floyd%starsend@PRC.Unisys.com ** starsend!floyd@burdvax.PRC.Unisys.com *
