This month, playing tips for Herbert's Dummy Run, Booty, Sceptre of Baghdad plus some quick cheats.
It has long been known that Booty has a hidden game which can be accessed using the Currah Microspeech add-on for the Speccy. Unfortunately none of us emulator-users have this little gem (!)
Fortunately, help is at hand from Darren Salt who posted the solution in the Speccy newsgroup, which I have reproduced here for everyone to see. Just enter these pokes using the Multiface option at the title screen. The hidden game itself is a diving game similar to Scuba Dive:
POKE 52796,32 POKE 52798,58
Especially for Boris Donko (see Letters) here's a solution for this game:
SWAP FLUTE FOR HANKY, GO LEFT UNTIL FLYING CARPET, FLY OVER RIVER, ENTER THE TOWER, CLIMB UP THE ROPE, RIGHT, JUMP UP TO BIRD, SWAP FLUTE FOR WINGS, JUMP ACROSS NEXT TO BALCONY, WALK UNDER BEES NEST, CROSS RIVER AGAIN, GO LEFT UNTIL STATUE OF ARCHER, JUMP UP STEPS UNTIL IT FLIES OFF, CROSS BACK OVER THR RIVER, SWAP WINGS FOR KEYS, GO TO THE ROOM WITH THE BEACHBALLS, JUMP UP STAIRS AND GO RIGHT, KEEP GOING RIGHT TO GET RID OF THE NAGGING WOMAN, OPEN WARDROBE, SLIDE DOWN BANISTER AND GET THE BOOK, GO UPSTAIRS AND SWAP THE KEYS FOR THE FIRE-RING, GO LEFT, GO THROUGH DOORS, SLIDE DOWN THE BANISTER, GO TO FLYING CARPET AND CROSS WIVER TO WHERE STATUE WAS.
GO DOWN HOLE, GO LEFT UNTIL ROOM WITH BATS, EXIT ROOM AND RETURN TO ROOM WHERE YOU LEFT THE PURSE. NOW RETURN TO BAT ROOM BY THE SAME ROUTE, THIS TIME USING THE DOOR OPEN KEY ON THE OPEN ROCK. THIS SHOULD FILL YOUR PURSE. RETURN TO THE PURSE ROOM, ENTER WARDROBE, DOWN STAIRS, GO RIGHT UNTIL THE BLUE BRICKED MARKET, ENTER THE SHOW SHOP AND SWAP THE BOOK FOR THE SHOES, ENTER THE WEAPONS SHOP AND SWAP THE PURSE FOR THE AXE. LEAVE THE AXE AND SLIPPERS IN A SAFE PLACE. GO LEFT FROM THE SHOPS AND PRESS UP BETWEEN THE PALM TREES. GO UP STEPS AND TAKE THE SLING, GO BACK TO THE ROOM WITH THE TRIDENT AND TAKE IT, GO DOWN THE HOLE MADE BY THE STATUE, AND SWAP THE TRIDENT FOR THE PEARL IN THE OYSTER - THE SLING SHOULD NOW BE LOADED.
USE THE DOOR KEY BETWEEN THE TORCHES IN THE OYSTER ROOM, GO TO THE ROOM WITH THE COCONUT ON THE PALM TREE AND WLAK UNDERNEATH IT. GO LEFT TO THE DESERT AND TAKE THE BLUNT TRUNK (KEEPING THE COCONUT), LEAVE THE DESERT AND PUT THE COCONUT IN A SAFE PLACE. RETRIEVE THE AXE TO SHARPEN THE TRUNK, DROP THIS IN A SAFE PLACE. GET THE COCONUT AND GO TO THE OYSTER ROOM. GO RIGHT TWICE AND TAKE THE FISH HELMET (HANG ON TO THAT COCONUT!). GO TO THE DESERT AND GO DOWN THE WELL. SWAP THE MIRROR FOR THE COCONUT AND GO RIGHT BACK TO THE OYSTER ROOM. SWAP THE FISH HELMET FOR THE SHARPENED TRUNK.
ENTER THE DOOR IN THE ROOM LEFT OF THE STARTING ROOM, GO DOWN STAIRS, GO LEFT UNTIL YOU GET PAST THE MEDUSA, KEEP GOING LEFT TO KILL THE CYCLOPS. RETURN TO THE START ROOM, GET THE WHIP FROM THE BALCONY, GO THE ROOM NEAR THE SHOPS WITH THE BULL, JUMP INTO THE WAGON'S WHEEL TO GET THE AXLE, GO TO THE OYSTER ROOM, RIGHT, REPLACE AXLE IN DRAWBRIDGE, TAKE SLIPPERS, ENTER DRAWBRIDGE, WALK OVER COALS UNTIL YOU REACH AN ISLAND, SWAP WHIP FOR BOW AND DROP IT IN A SAFE PLACE.
GET THE INSECT NET AND USE IT ON THE BEE FROM THE HIVE, GET THE SWORD, ENTER THE DOORS IN THE SAME ROOM AND GO DOWN STAIRS, RIGHT, JUMP TO COLLECT THE STRING. LEAVE THE STRING IN A SAFE PLACE.
GET THE WHISK FROM THE BEACHBALL ROOM, GO TO THE DOOR BETWEEN THE TWO PALM TREES AND THE GREEN PLATFORM, ENTER PALM TREES AND GO DOWN THE HOLE, GET THE LAMP AND LEAVE IT SOMEWHERE SAFE.
GET THE BOW AND THE STRING, THEN DROP THE STRING. TAKE THE QUIVER FROM THE HOLE MADE BY THE STATUE AND GET THE LAMP. GO TO ROOM TO THE LEFT OF THE START ROOM AND ENTER THE DOORS. GO DOWN AND LEFT UNTIL YOU REACH A SEE-SAW. WALK TO THE SEE-SAW AND GET CATAPULTED INTO ANOTHER ROOM.
TAKE THE SCEPTRE AND GET TELEPORTED. RETURN TO THE BALCONY AND YOU WILL HAVE COMPLETED THE GAME WITH 100%!!!
