No matter what I do, I can't seem to find the northern boundry of this thing, anywhere. I go north until I get "You can't go that way", then I keep going west on space at a time and never get to go further north. I turn arounds and go east one space at a time and still never get to go further north. I've found the western boundry and the southern one, but nothing I do finds the northern boundary or the eastern one. where the heck is the northern boundary?

Where the only options you have are go north, go south, go east, go west and get the hint that tells you to look in the the northwest corner. It doesn't give the option to look at anything. And if I was supposed to get a stone from a witch then I'm permanently stuck, because I'm pretty sure that I got in here by falling during a landslide or something like that.

There are a few things you need to do before you can go North or West. You have not reached that point yet. You still need to get the tablet from the good witch before you can go anywhere. Click on all the options. Examine everything... Push..Pull..Look and so on. Good Luck!!!

It does not give the option to look at anything, or take anything or anything else. It's just a maze. I think that previous posts have called it a fog filled room. And as I said before if there was something I was supposed to do before getting into this mess, then I'm going to have to delete my game and start over because there is also no way to go back the way I came, I fell in here.

Do you have the tablet from the witch? If you put the tablet down fog starts to inch it's way in. I believe there were directions that told you somewhere to press I if you wanted to go North.... M to go South...K if you wanted to go East... J if you wanted to go West. See if that helps. But don't delete your game. Send me your inventory and I can tell what you have done.
> > > > > >
> > > > > > I don't have any inventory. I'm pretty sure that I never did. The only living creature I've seen in this whole thing is the monsters in the arcade part that gets skipped. I've mapped this section and in the process I've stepped on every space there is. I've never gotten any options to do anything except move or ask for a hint. I'm pretty sure I've never seen the large chamber with the different colored stuff in it. The last room that I was in, I barely remember I've been stuck in here for so long. The one thing I do remember about it is one of the options in it was to go east, but the notes said to only go east if you were ready to go on to the next section. I went east and fell down a landslide or something and ended up here. Now I can't get back where I was, and I can't go anywhere else. I'm trapped in this little 4 space by 6 space section and my map and your post are both telling me that I've made this game unbeatable.

Tell me word for word the discription of where you are. There are some typos in the game maybe that's why we are having a problem. I see where the monsters are.... how far away from them are you? Have you entered the waterfall? When you say the note say to go east what notes are you talking about? I'm sure we are both missing something. Help me to figure out where you are.

The note to go east was just one of the little comments that are in these games, not like a note that I found in the caves anywhere. No, I've never seen the waterfall. I've dodged portcullises and murder holes, ran from monsters, wandered around some caves, and fell down a landslide. Unfortunately, I didn't start mapping until I got trapped in here, so I don't really know where I am in relation to anything else.

I have a spot just after the portcullises.... my notes are saying play this area until you escape. Now the next part has steps. Are there any steps where you are? I need to know exactly what your options are in the game. In other words tell me what the game gives you for options. I can't tell where you are by your discription.

> > No steps. As for you needing to know what options it gives and the description, I copied the entire screen and pasted it in here. I don't remember what the original description when I first ended up in here was, but I've given the only description it will give me now. I think I may be in the "play this area until you escape" part.

I don't have any options. The only things I can do anywhere are walk around and get a hint. I can't look at anything, or do anything. I've played "Missing Dog", "Cave", and "Mystic Magic".
