Time Bandit - A Few Queries

[ROBERT]

Hello all:

 

Just picked this one up after more than 15 years and wow, did the memories come flooding back !! Definitely one of the top 10 games of all time.

 

I hate to sound like I'm not doing my homework, but there are two things in this game that are currently bugging the heck out of me, and I was hoping that someone could help.

 

The first is in "Exclaibur"...a metal ring is wedged in the Captain's Chair and typing in "Get Ring" gives a message that the crack is too narrow.

 

The next is in I think "Greymon", the one with the peasant who has the sheep, and if you talk business he wants to know what you will give him for the sheep. Anyone know what to type here ?

 

I'll deal with the 3 Egyptian-based level question as they come up, but the peasant is critical because the 2nd Hermit question relies on something the peasant tells you, and all I get as far as responses are "That means nothing to a peasant".

 

Any help would be appreciated. Thanks !!

 

Robert

Hello fellow gamers:

 

I remembered last evening how to solve the 2nd "Greymoon" card quest task...still can't figure out the correct noun/verb combination to use for getting the ring out of the chair in "Excalibur"...any help would be greatly appreciated as Ron Corcoran, Stephen Knox, Todd Rogers and I are all revisiting this title for the Mar/03 "Snipercade" monthly challenge.

 

Thanks !!

Robert,

 

I don't know a thing about Time Bandits myself, but try asking your question at www.atari-forum.com .... There are more ST peopleover there, and who knows, someone might be able to help you ...

 

Or try the LGD forum (www.atari.st) , though it seems pretty dead these days ...

 

Cheers,

I doubt anyone is still checking this, but I believe the command was:

 

(spoiler)

 

 

 

"Use wire"

 

I did finish all 4 excalibur levels a long time ago, but no longer have

an ST to check my memory.
