Have you got a coconut yet?
Comment by CJ592
09 Oct 2009
not yet... is that embarrassingly easy? I was assuming cutting the vines would get me the coconut and I havent got the machete. I'll try again....

Nice, don't feel bad when I was playing darkness falls I got stuck on the trap door. I tried everything push pull open etc everything except idk LIFT. lol My wife figured it out. I felt like an idiot. PS for amusement purposes only (save before doing) try swearing, jump when on a cliff top, shoot the parrot, speak to the skull.

Great stuff. It was a Norwegian Blue. :)
Now I've got to deal with an angry monkey with disgusting toilet habits...

The problem is not in essence the monkey but how he makes you feel.

How do you get the coconut from the palmtrees? I've tried everything but can't get up there...

Don't be hard on yourself Pofke, I didnt get it to being with. And I felt such a wally after using the exact same verb in one of my own games

How could I open the stone door?
Comment by Tim Hamilton
13 Oct 2009
You need to find the stone rod. You will need to do something in the cave.
Comment by AlexN94
13 Oct 2009
Aha... But how could I come in there? There's a boulder blocking the way in, and the rope don't works.
Comment by Tim Hamilton
13 Oct 2009
flip over the shell.
Comment by AlexN94
14 Oct 2009
What should I do with the slab? There is nothing in my inventory, wich will 'fit there'.
I have:
A pile of timber, a small hammer, a coconut, makeshift rope, a machete, a stone rod, a worn pick axe, a crude spear, a couple of pirate hooks, a large crate, a crude shovel and oars.
Comment by Tim Hamilton
14 Oct 2009
You need something from the dead adventurer. It is not a visible item.
Ps for those of you less civilized people who like to act like a certain monkey type in fart or burp or poop. Forgive me for these but my son made me do it.

Ok, now I'm stuck. I've found the altar in the temple.
Comment by Tim Hamilton

Start by using your pile of timber on the shell, Then you will know what to do next.

The big island is... Big... What should I do there? The villagers or the monkeys kill me...
Review by CJ592
14 Oct 2009
I'm with alex here. this is a great game, but the villager is killing me. I ahve a funny feeling I should be dealing with him before worrying about the monkey nest and cannon and stuff. at the mometn I am just walking by him but I assume the timer continues everytime I walk past him.
And can I also ask... is the description on the three tiles supposed to say An internal error or has an internal error actually occurred? :)
I would give it six stars if possible- much better than my games :)

CJ> Where is the two other tiles? ... I've just found one in a crack in the ground... And (to the creator) how could you kill/deal/do anything with the villager? He kills you after... 5 seconds?
Comment by Tim Hamilton
14 Oct 2009
If you shot the pirate on the boat then you are in trouble.
There is something hidden on the boat that teaches you how to use your cutlass.
The boat to the north doesn't start comming after you until you raise the pirate flag.
The tiles are supposed to show a jpg picture when you look at them.
Are they?
Comment by CJ592
14 Oct 2009
Alex.. You need to find the Monkey nest in the jungle although I dont know whether I found it by accident. Plus I also drop everything before entering the jungle becuase of that darned monkey :)
Alex.. a question for you... did you shoot the drunken pirate on the ship? or have you still got a bullet in the gun? I wonder if there is a way off the pirate ship with the gun so I can shoot that villager
Comment by CJ592
14 Oct 2009
thanks tim. I wondered about shooting the pirate. I saved after that event so every game I tried I had no gun
Comment by AlexN94
14 Oct 2009
CJ> Yes I do... I think I'll begin the game again, I've saved it after my blooooooooody act! :)
Comment by Tim Hamilton
14 Oct 2009
I really enjoyed your games cj.
Shipwrecked has got alot of fluff in it but content and storyline are what really makes the game good. I am currently working on another one called wizard.
It won't have all the sound effects and fluff in it but I think if you have played all the old infocom games like enchanter and such you will really enjoy it. I got inspired because I played a game on this site where the spells you have are in inventory. And I though they shouldn't be. They should be memorized then cast and such. I am including a drop down spellcasting menu that is pretty neat.
Comment by CJ592
14 Oct 2009
haha. I just started again and fought the drunken pirate with the cutlass (after reading the book) excellent. A lot of thrusting going on :)
Comment by AlexN94
14 Oct 2009
Wich book??? Aha, it's the heden thing? Wow, I'm good!... And crazy??
Comment by Tim Hamilton
14 Oct 2009
P.s. Don't bother trying to shoot the monkey. It will only make you angry.
Comment by Tim Hamilton
14 Oct 2009
Also there is another way out of the jungle but you can't get there until you find a way to stop being so angry with monkey.
Comment by Tim Hamilton
14 Oct 2009
If looking at the tiles doesn't bring up a pop up picture then it means the game didn't compile them like it was supposed to. You need to have the tile pictures work or you will have a really hard time with the slide puzzle near the end. If they aren't working then send me an email at wonderjudge22@yahoo.com and I will e-mail them back to you as an attatchment.

Where is the book?

Search the cots in the crew quarters.

Sorry I appear not to be able to see any pictures on the tiles
Comment by AlexN94
14 Oct 2009
Is it possible to enter the ravine north to the village?
Comment by Tim Hamilton
14 Oct 2009
You mean get up the steep slope. Yes but you are gonna need to find the dead end in the jungle. Alex when you look at the tile is it pulling up a picture?
Comment by AlexN94
14 Oct 2009
Don't know, I'm blind.
Comment by AlexN94
14 Oct 2009
And I've found the dead place and took the boots, the diamond and the tile.
Comment by AlexN94
14 Oct 2009
No, there is no picture, but "an internal error"
Comment by Tim Hamilton
14 Oct 2009
Ok I had to recompile the game and manually make it compile the pictures in.
Comment by AlexN94
14 Oct 2009
Wich formatis the pictures in? And what should I do to enter the revine or what it is?
Comment by AlexN94
14 Oct 2009
Okay, I've found all three tiles, and a lantern and a cannon... What should I do now?
Comment by Tim Hamilton
14 Oct 2009
You will need to do something about the rest of the angry villagers. The pirates must have left the present they had for them on the ship because the villagers were not to kind to them.
Comment by AlexN94
14 Oct 2009
How could i get the ball or the crate? I think I should use the gunpowder, matches and cannon ball + the cannon to kill the pirate?
Comment by AlexN94
14 Oct 2009
Hmm, should I take the flag from the first pirate ship?
Comment by AlexN94
15 Oct 2009
Ok, now I'm on the third island. I've got the diary, cannonball, gunpowder, earring, gold tooth, matches, lantern, ruby and a bottle of rum.
What should I do now? I've stored my treasures in the glasscase.
Comment by Tim Hamilton
15 Oct 2009
You need to find the ruins in the jungle. If the monkey is there making you angry then you won't find it.
Comment by AlexN94
15 Oct 2009
What should I do with the monkey? Hmm, I think I shouldn't have drunken the rum...
Comment by AlexN94
15 Oct 2009
What should I do with the bee hive and the ant hill?
Comment by Tim Hamilton
15 Oct 2009
If you don't know what to do with the anthill then you haven't found the one way out of the ruins that doesn't lead to the forest. As for the beehive besides the shiny spear and pistol what is your only other projectile weapon?
Comment by AlexN94
15 Oct 2009
The cannon?
Comment by AlexN94
15 Oct 2009
Or the gunpowder... But it explodes and the bee hive take no damage.
Comment by AlexN94
15 Oct 2009
I haven't found the ruins yet. The monkey do me angry.
Comment by AlexN94
16 Oct 2009
Ok, I'm stuck... I can't figure out how I could get pass the monkey ant examine the bee hive...
Comment by AlexN94
16 Oct 2009
Aaaargh! The monkey is sitting on my bag and won't go of!
Comment by Tim Hamilton
16 Oct 2009
You were on the right track earlier with the monkey. I hope you didn't drink the bottle of rum too soon. The coconut is a projectile weapon.
Comment by AlexN94
16 Oct 2009
What are you meaning with 'to soon'?
Comment by AlexN94
16 Oct 2009
What should I do to get of with monkey?
Comment by AlexN94
16 Oct 2009
And an new question: Hooow many rooms are there in the jungle?
Comment by Tim Hamilton
16 Oct 2009
If you drink the rum you become tipsy instead of angry. When your tipsy when the monkey bothers you it won't make you angry something different will happen.
To get to the ruins. From the dead end go east, east, southeast.

Comment by Tim Hamilton
16 Oct 2009
have you examined the door?
Comment by AlexN94
16 Oct 2009
There is no door in the room... There is som colored holes and a stone building.
Comment by AlexN94
16 Oct 2009
And I have no idea about how to crack the code to the building... Maybe I should use the tiles...
Comment by AlexN94
16 Oct 2009
I can't enter the archway...
Comment by Tim Hamilton
16 Oct 2009
I meant the building. sorry. The key to the colored holes is in the diary.
Comment by AlexN94
16 Oct 2009
I can't find the code in the diary...
Comment by AlexN94
17 Oct 2009
Hmm... What should I do to enter the archway?
Comment by Tim Hamilton
17 Oct 2009
You need to get some light to the other side. You will need what is inside the building to help you.
Comment by AlexN94
17 Oct 2009
Hmm... But what should I do to enter the building, if I find the code?
Comment by AlexN94
17 Oct 2009
Is it possible to walk south or southeast in the lava tube? And what should I do before I can do that?
Comment by Tim Hamilton
17 Oct 2009
Have you fired the cannon yet? When you do something washes up on the sandy shore. Use that on the stream.

Gunpowder. The trick is how do you get the matches or the pistol for that matter to the other side without ruining them.
Comment by AlexN94
18 Oct 2009
I thought that I should use the gunpowder...
Comment by CJ592
18 Oct 2009
Brilliant! Great puzzle with the coloured holes. I was worried tht it may involve the tiles, because I still don't have images for them. I even tried version 3. Is it possible to get a description of whats on them?
Comment by AlexN94
18 Oct 2009
What should I do with the anteater? I think I should give it the honey, but he doesn't want it.
Comment by AlexN94
18 Oct 2009
I can't find the code in the diary, there are only written:
> read diary
You skip the the beginning and check out the last entry.
Aug 24,
I have discovered some ancient ruins in the jungle here. There is a stone building that I have finally cracked the code too but I am having trouble remembering it. I will have to ask my only assistant big roy v. He has a better memory than I.
There is also an opening in the buried pyramid there and as soon as I find where I left my lantern I am planning on exploring it. I am almost out of rum to give to the villagers though. I hope my kindness will have kept me in their good graces.
That's it..... Hmmm I guess his kindness didn't go very far...
Comment by CJ592
18 Oct 2009
Alex, the code is in the writing. Think about the assistant :)
Hve you done something with the ant hill? where is the anteater?
Comment by AlexN94
18 Oct 2009
I haven't done anything with the ant hill. Hmm, the assistand... Big Roy V.... Hmm, it sounds like 'be gray', but I don't think it's that you mean...
I can't ask him, only if it's the skull, but it says only 'Allas pure adventurer, I knew him well'. It could also be an anagram..........
Comment by Tim Hamilton
18 Oct 2009
alex you are making it too coplicated. lol The prof doesn't really have an assistant. Think about the assistants name b.i.g.r.o.y.v
cj the pictures should work on the 1.3. I will try downloading to a different are just to make sure.
Comment by Tim Hamilton
18 Oct 2009
Ok even though i compiled them with the game they still are not working.
Sooo I uploaded the pictures and sounds (yes there are supposed to be sounds too) here. Just unzip them in the same folder where you have the game.
Sorry for the inconvienence.
Comment by AlexN94
18 Oct 2009
A good thing would be (if the player is blind):
1. Lower background sounds and
2. That the background sounds continues - sounds make games more realistic, especially if the player is blind.
Comment by AlexN94
18 Oct 2009
The background sounds should be lower, otherwise the blind player can't hear the screenreader...
Comment by AlexN94
18 Oct 2009
Allright, if I have the code to the building, what should I so do to enter it?
Comment by Tim Hamilton
18 Oct 2009
Use the stone rod on the colored holes.
Comment by AlexN94
18 Oct 2009
Daaaa! I'm an idiot! Of course!
Comment by CJ592
18 Oct 2009
I downloaded the zip file. Im still not getting the images or sounds in game. But the folder contains some jpeg files Manbearpig, mb11 to mb19
perhaps it is easier to tell me which mb pic goes with which ceramic tile.
I have tile 1-5 and 7 and 8.
I also blew up the rubble and found a door which has fifteen errors. Are there pictures there too?
Annoyingly, everytime I download the game, my old savefiles don't work so I hav e to start again.
Or maybe I should just give up.
Comment by AlexN94
18 Oct 2009
Now I have the rope... How could I enter the archway? I think I should attach the rope to something, but how? Tie and attach are not working...
Comment by CJ592
18 Oct 2009
alex, if you havent done something with the ant hill, then where did you find the anteater?
Yes you need to use the rope Just use rope on dais
Comment by AlexN94
18 Oct 2009
Go to the middle of the ruins and go southeast.
Comment by AlexN94
18 Oct 2009
Hmm, I think, that I should move the stone dais, but I don't know how...
Sorry for all my questions...
Comment by Tim Hamilton
18 Oct 2009
CJ, try to move the game and all the picture files into my documents.
Once you have all the tiles in place the door becomes a slide puzzle.
That is really the only reason you need the pictures to work.
Alex, Look at the dais. there is a hole in it and a metal bar over it.
Comment by AlexN94
18 Oct 2009
I have tied the rope to the dais, now is the problem how I could move it...
Comment by Tim Hamilton
18 Oct 2009
The hole is too big for you to go into. Tie the basket to the rope, Put the lantern in the basket then lower the basket.
Cj If that doesn't get the pictures to work let me know and I'll just post you a walkthrough on moving the tiles.
That is annoying though. I spent a long time getting that slide puzzle done.
I had to take a picture and split it up evenly into 9 seperate pictures, then do the computations for moving them.
=(
Comment by AlexN94
18 Oct 2009
Where is the fourth gem? Is it in the anthill, and if so, how should I lead the anteater to it?
Comment by Tim Hamilton
18 Oct 2009
You guessed it and maybe the anteater would be more friendly if you gave it some ants.
Comment by AlexN94
18 Oct 2009
Hmmm... Red ants bite! I could use the shovel... Næh, it doesn't works...
Comment by CJ592
18 Oct 2009
The pictures are now working (as are the sounds).
And now for the ant hill.....
Comment by AlexN94
18 Oct 2009
What about it?
Comment by CJ592
18 Oct 2009
What about it? That's the question. I havent worked out what to do with it
Comment by Tim Hamilton
19 Oct 2009
A container perhaps?
Comment by AlexN94
19 Oct 2009
What about a walkthrough to the game? It's so good, that it needs one. I mean, that it is equally so good as 'The Mansion' or 'As Darkness Falls'...
Comment by AlexN94
19 Oct 2009
Hmm, what should I do with ant hill? I can't use/put in/give the honey to the ants, I think that they should have the honey...

19 Oct 2009
The slide puzzle worked... although for me it didnt show a 3 by 3 grid. it showed two rows
Tile tile tile .... .... .... Tile tile tile
.... .... .... tile tile tile
but it was still workable

19 Oct 2009
Aaaargh thats annoying. I got all that way and I can't win, as I dont have enough health to defeat the monster. :(

I can't empty the bottle...
Comment by Tim Hamilton
19 Oct 2009
CJ did you save the pistol?
If you shoot it it takes 12hp and if you use the shiny spear and or throw spear
it takes 8 hp.
If you got and stored all the treasure you should have a max health of 33 or so.
Alex you can empty the jar.
Comment by Tim Hamilton
19 Oct 2009
Also The tile tile tile - - - tile tile tile
thing is my fault I didn't take into consideration the graphics size option and I should have used a print statement for seperation. Sorry.
If you want the full effect display option size 1024 by 768 and go full screen keep the panes on.
Comment by CJ592
19 Oct 2009
Yep. I use the gun and the spear. Reducing it from 50 to 30. But I have only 20 health left myself. Ive not got all the collectables though. Max health is 26 but no gloop left

If you need some more advantages I will let you in on a couple of secrets.
Tea bag the dead enemies and when fighting never thrust but always parry.

Hi there,
I'm still stuck at the monkey... I can't seem to drink the rum...
How do you take a bottle out of the sack?
Comment by Tim Hamilton
20 Oct 2009
You need to give the sack to the villagers then you are left with 1 bottle.
Comment by CJ592

Thanks for the teabaggin advice. It gave me just enough to get a win (eventually- that and a lot of luck!)
390/400--- commodore
Excellent game though :)

Thank you =) If you get bored there are 2 more alternate endings.
Look for my next game Wizard. I'm about 3/4 done with it.
Comment by Alex Warren
20 Oct 2009
I've updated the download to a ZIP file which includes the images and sounds you uploaded separately, so please let me know if this works.
In future you can just upload a ZIP containing your CAS and any images and sounds required. Please don't upload ZIP files that don't contain Quest games as this flags up an error and they'll get deleted.
Comment by pofke
21 Oct 2009
Mmmm, I still can't pass the jungle even though I am calm now. What is the dead end and how do you get there?
Comment by pofke
21 Oct 2009
Btw, I cant get the tiles to work...
Comment by Tim Hamilton
21 Oct 2009
Sorry about that alex and thanks for fixing it for me.
Pofke, from the village outskirts go s,w,s,s,w that should bring you to the dead end. from the dead end go e,e,se that should bring you to the ruins.
only the latest version of shipwrecked alex put my pictures and sound in a zipped folder with it. make sure the pictures and sounds are in the same area as the games. If you get to the slide puzzle make sure you graphics are set to 1024 by 768.

I'm having trouble with the wording to flip over the shell. I believe I've tried as many permutations as I can think of. Can you give me an explicit hint?
Comment by Tim Hamilton
22 Oct 2009
Either of two phrases will work.
turn over shell
flip over shell
Comment by max
23 Oct 2009
Well, when entered both of those commands return: "You can't Flip over that."
However I (finally) upgraded my version of Quest and that seems to have remedied the problem. I'm was previously using 4.0.3.

What can I do to the painting? I see that it doesn't match itself, but I'm at a loss for a command.

23 Oct 2009
and people seem to be talking about shooting a gun. i'm worried i missed it from the first island. or is it on the pirate ship?
Comment by Tim Hamilton
24 Oct 2009
The painting has a button that opens a section of it. The button is hidden from you but the parrot might know where it is. Don't worry the pistol is on the ship. Don't worry about the first island you will be able to get back there after you get off the pirate ship. You need to make sure you take and find everything that you need off the pirate ship. You will see why. There is a book hidden on the ship you need to read. Then make sure you take the pry bar, ship's wheel, all the treasure,stuff from the closet,sack of rum and the cutlass.
Comment by max
26 Oct 2009
Okay. Then where can I find the "password"?
Comment by AlexN94
26 Oct 2009
From the cell: Go south, up, raise flag, go up, look in spyglass and select south... But, if you know the password, you could just enter it when the parrot ask you...
Comment by AlexN94
26 Oct 2009
How could I fix the problem with the anthill? The anteater disapears when I'm comming to the place with the hill...
Comment by Tim Hamilton
26 Oct 2009
The monkey irritates him. Wait for the monkey to do something before you pick up the anteater. Then you either need to be really fast in getting back there or put the anteater down half way there and wait for the monkey to do something then pick it up again. Once to the anthill all you need to do is put the anteater down.
Comment by AlexN94
27 Oct 2009
What about the grate in the west wing?
Comment by Tim Hamilton
27 Oct 2009
Isn't there anyone who can slip through the opening and pull the lever?
Maybe a really annoying someone.
Comment by AlexN94
27 Oct 2009
Is it possible to beat the game if you can't see?
Comment by Tim Hamilton
27 Oct 2009
Do you mean the pictures are not working. If not make sure that they are in the same folder as the game. If you mean the tiles are showing up wrong on the slide puzzle then you can fix that as well by changing your graphic setting to size 768 by 1024.
Comment by AlexN94
27 Oct 2009
No, I mean, if you are blind.
Comment by Tim Hamilton
27 Oct 2009
Sorry, I guess not. I have not had much experience with blind people. I guess there must be a set up for their computer to tell them what's on the screen or something. But I guess if you can't see the pictures then you would need someone with sight to help you with the slide puzzle.

Max> From the dead place: go e,e,se,s,se. Here is the anteater, give it the ants and take it (use jar on anthill). Run back to the ant hill and drop the anteater, then you can examine the anthill...
I don't know how to get the monkey of...
I need also some help. How could I enter the champer south to the eastwing. There is a dead thing blocking the way...

i can't seem to get the ants. do i need to collect the honey in the empty bottle first? it won't let me.
and to get past the dead thing, you can fight it with your cutlass.
Comment by Tim Hamilton

Max the bottle is too small of a container you need the empy jar for the ants and the honey. Alex your solution for the matches is in the jar of honey.

Comment by Tim Hamilton

You can't the pistol has but one shot. You should save it for the end creature.
You can get it through the water the same way you did the matches.
The end creature has 50 hit points. I gave cj some tips on beating earlier.
Follow those as the creature is hard to beat.
There is one treasure in the cave of the creature but here are the others.
Chest of gold
Ivory tusk
Silver bar
Silver cross
Large ruby
Large diamond
Jade idol
Pearl necklass
Gold tooth
Large emerald
Large sapphire
Gold statue
Silver statue
Platinum statue
Silver earring

Are there other weapons?
Comment by Tim Hamilton

Pistol 12. spear 8.
After that you are in for a fight dueling him with the cutlass.
If your health is close to 30 then you should have a chance.

This game is awesome. Problem though--i shoot the villager, and then I still can't go east because it says "I don't think that angry villager is going to let you by." He's dead! Why can't I go by? Is this a bug? How to fix?
Comment by Tim Hamilton
08 Nov 2009
Hmm are you sure you are not getting chased away by the angry villager in the next area. Besides, save the pistol you will need it for the end. Fight the villager with your cutlass.
Comment by Tim Hamilton

Yup it's a glitch. Sorry about that but you really need to save the pistol shot anyway or you won't be able to win.

Well, good thing it happened, otherwise i would happily have gone on in the game having wasted the pistol shot! Will use my cutlass.

Is an empty jar different from an empty bottle? Where do I find the jar?
Comment by Tim Hamilton

You need to get by the lava in the volcano then go through the water filled tunnel. It's in the area around the small lake.
Comment by max
09 Nov 2009
Wow, you have thoroughly flummoxed me. I don't know where that is AT ALL. I thought that I needed to explore the ant hill to find the 4th gem. But apparently I'm wrong. Where is the small lake and the lava tube?
Comment by Tim Hamilton
09 Nov 2009
the 4th gem is in the anthill. But you need the empty jar first. I hope you got the ship's wheel from the pirate sloop. You need to sail from the sailboat.

Comment by Tim Hamilton
10 Nov 2009
You need a sail to win the game but as long as you have put the ship's wheel from the pirate sloop on to the wheel stand on the sailboat then you can type in 'sail' or 'set sail' when you are on the deck of the sailboat to get to the other island.
Review by Crispix
10 Nov 2009
This really was a great game. Some really creative puzzles-fun to solve. loved the traveling between islands... building the boat, the colored pegs puzzle.. good stuff. Thanks!
A few thoughts (which may just be my own pet peeves):
- The monkey. Oh, the monkey. at the very least i'd get rid of the "you drop everything" option because at a few points i considered bagging the game rather than having to continue to pick everything up. Without even a "take all" option!
- A few things really counter-intuitive... huh? How are matches not ruined by a jar of honey? Why not just use an empty bottle or jar? Also, the only place i could fill the bottle was at the stream, even though i kept going underwater, there was a small pond, etc. Hard to know I was on the right track.
- Also--my own pet peeve, granted... i hate mazes. I would have quit at the jungle if i hadn't had your walkthrough! How would i ever have solved that, or found the anteater? I might be alone in this, though, since there are so many mazes in text games. I also don't like games where you can die or make game-losing decisions... maybe i'm just grumpy :) Thanks! Now i have to go do my actual work...

Thanks Crispix! =) The monkey was meant to annoy. Perhaps I made him a little too annoying. I should have thought to have you be able to fill the bottle in the pond. An oversight on my part. I myself like the mazes but not everyone does. I actually was more cruel with the dying at first but then toned it back a little perhaps I should have toned it back more. I actually think you will like my wizard game I posted better. No monkey, no mazes, and there are only two areas in which you can die and lose. The first one you would have to be really dumb to trigger and the second part where you can die you are warned to save ahead of time.

Tim> What do you mean with
If you need some more advantages I will let you in on a couple of secrets.
Tea bag the dead enemies and when fighting never thrust but always parry.
Tea bag?
Comment by Tim Hamilton
13 Nov 2009
after you kill an enemy type in "tea bag 'deadenemy'". If you don't know what tea bagging means i'm not going to tell you as it is something rude.
The combat is set up so that when you do an opposite attack as your opponent defends then a nasty wound is issued thus doing 2 point of damage instead of 1.
For example when you swing right and opponent defends left, he gets a nasty wound. There is no opposite of thrust or parry. So when you thrust will only only ever do 1 damage. but if you always parry you opponent can only ever do 1 damage. Thus giving you an advantage.
Comment by AlexN94
13 Nov 2009
I don't know, what tea bagging is, I only know, that is 'tebrev' in danish... And it's a noun...
Comment by Tim Hamilton
13 Nov 2009
It's a term used by gamers who play shoot em up games. When you kill an enemy it involves squatting over them. It's a sign of extreme disrespect to you enemy.

Is it possible to see how many health points I have?
Comment by Tim Hamilton

like if the pirate captain is dead type 'tea bag captain'.
The health points are displayed as a status variable below inventory in the panes. I don't know if you have access to the panes or not as I don't know how the computer you have speaks the words to you. I didn't put any commands in to tell you what your health is and knowing what I know now I wish I had. sorry.

Comment by Tim Hamilton

The creature has 50 health shooting it does 12. and then throwing the spear does 8. leaving it with 30 health. if you have close to that you should be able to beat it with the cutlass.

Ok I knnow I'm way behind, but how do you get that jammed object out of the stream in the cave? My objects are: a crate, a coconut, machete, crude spear, pick axe, and rocks. I used timber, and makeshift rope on the shell for the raft. Should I have more objects? I just can't find anything else.
Comment by Tim Hamilton

You are missing some things.
Comment by neciaj

Ok we found the dead explorer. We tried putting the skull in the altar but nothing happened. We can't get through the door to the south in the temple.
In the cave, we didn't know how to get the jammed thing out so we tried using the canteen on it but we lost it in the crack and can't get it back. Also don't know how to open cave drawings.
We finished the raft but every time we try to "push raft", the ship shoots us and we die. We think we need to find a "valuable" thing as once they see we have nothign of value, thats when they shoot.
Sorry we're useless :) thanks for helping
Comment by AlexN94

Here is a little walkthrough for the first island:
You're starting at the western shore. Take the pile of timber and go east. Shake the tree and take the coconut. Go south and take the spear. Go south then east and take the crate. Go north and use coconut on snake then take the machete.
Go north then west and use the machete on the vines, take the rope and go east and use the machete on the wall of vegitation. Now a stone door shouldd appear. Go east and flip over the shell. Take the axe. Use the timber on shell then the rope. Go twice to the west and once to the north. Examine the rocks and take hammer, canteen and skull.
Go east and use axe on boulder. Go twice to the east and use canteen on stream. Go tree times to the west, then south one time and once to the east. Take the stone rod. Use the stone rod on the stone door and enter the opening.
Use the skull on slab and go east. Take shovel and oars and go west. Go up, two times to the south and once to the west. Dig around and take hooks.
Go twice to the north and twice to the east and use hooks, oars and crate on raft. Go two times to the west, once to the north and twice to the east and use stone rod on drawings. Go twice to the west, once to the south and once to the east and enter the opening. Go south and take chest of gold coins and go north. Go up and once to the east, drop all in your inventory and move the raft.

Excellent game...enjoyed it all except the monkey but you kinda get used to him
You score is 400/400.
That give you the rank of...
Master of the seven seas!
I think people miss the silver earring if they tea bag the captain too quickly.
Keep up the good work

The gunpowder you don't use til later. You can go back to the first island you were on and retrieve some things if you get in the boat from the western shore.
There you can get your crude shovel back. You will need to lower a light source into the area from above.

Comment by Tim Hamilton

The container you are looking for is on the last island. You will need to be on the sail boat.(to the east) and type either sail or set sail.
The stream is actually on the first island in the cave. Unfortunately I had forgotten about the pond there and didn't allow the bottle to be used on it.
glad you like it so far.

once you have 8 of the nine tiles inserted you should be able to slide them around. tile 5 goes in last. a solution should be posted somewhere in this thread I think. If not I can post one. Once you have the picture right putting tile 5 in the center should open the door. save before entering.

You may need to examine the door first. Now that I am remembering i think there is an indentation on the door. And you use the tiles on that. Before entering make sure you save.

Nice design of game, but I find the whole thing about having to 'guess the verb' to be the problem with these games. It would make the games a lot better to have a definitive list of all commands that can be used in the game at the start, so the challenge is about puzzle solving and not some luck in choosing the right verb.

I'm stuck on the second island - how do I get rope for the dais?
Comment by FadeRaven
14 May 2012
RS: the Rope on the second island is inside a Stone Box inside the Stone Building with the Colored Holes. You have to solve the puzzle with the holes before you can go inside the building.
On another note, *I'm* stuck, though my problem might be a video glitch. I have all the tiles, but when I place them and try to arrange the puzzle, they all appear on my screen vertically stacked. I've tried changing screen resolution, switching between full screen and windowed mode, and nothing changes. Since there's a "Move Left" and "Move Right" command, I was assuming the puzzle is supposed to look like a 3x3 grid, not a vertical stack. Can anyone confirm this? I thought maybe you had to move the pieces into the assumed grid position before you started sorting them into a proper picture, but nothing actually moves left or right - it just stays vertical. I don't think it's supposed to be one long skinny picture.
Comment by RS
16 May 2012
Thanks :) I have the same problems with the vertical tiles, I think it might be because I'm playing it online but don't want to start again if I download :/
Does anyone know where tile 9 is? I've been wondering around all the islands and can't for the life of me find it. The only place I haven't explored is beyond the brambles on the last island, but it doesn't seem like I can go that way...
