1 the market place and hire the archer, elf and the thief. This should now make your party 4, the number you will need to finish the game. Go back to the tunnel and enter it.
1 lever and.....BOO-OO-OOM! You land in a field, and now all you have to do is go road, south twice to the rear of your car, fill tank, north, go car and drive car.
1 knight. When he attacks you the prince takes your sword and kills him, while the armour protects you at the start.
1 it says and beam up to the U.S.S. Enterprise. I won't tell you what happens but you will need the donkey with you.
1 it and cut hole (in the roof)...you will see why later! Jump into the safety net againthen you can drop the penknife you ventilated the roof with! Upthe ladder again, go tightrope, cut tightrope, jump...last time!
1 is READ BLUE...abbreviation of blue-print.
1 her question is Falcon.
1 handle and start the generator. You can now syphon petrol and inventory will show you have a full can.
1 go road and south twice to the rear of your car. In the boot, you will find a flashlight and aspanner. Return to the circus tent, then go east twice, collect the shovel and dig to find a starting handle. Drop this by the generator for later use.
1 even more advice. Now you see why the giant had to go.
1 clocks, there's an astronomer whose telescope is broken. There's an American tourist... what can he want? And a cockerelsaying COCK-A-DOO to a hen housefull of sad brown hens, (lovely joke here).
1 away from all the death, doom and disaster in the world today,and don't we all need to get away from that for a little while?
1 at which point in the first adventure I got a memory full report. Another game cleared thescreen and nothing happened thereafter.
1 appear and examination will showa note. This says ""You must destroy this place. We are spirits, doomed by evil. Doomed forever to this circus.

1 You will now find a piece of cable in the ring, and you don'tneed the hacksaw again, or the slippers.
1 You will need the shovel,nugget, firefly and sword. You can return to the clock at the start.
1 You now have to go back to
1 You need the shovel, keysand 6 ""charms"". You can't returnto the clock at all.
1 You need the firefly, coin and gauntlet. You can't return to the clock at the start.
1 You need the firefly and you can't return at the start.
1 You need a horn and the firefly and you can't return to the clock at the start.
1 You must wear the gauntlet but it only protects you for a few moves. Go further north and the walkway collapses. Go back down (if you are on the Mars walkway it will collapse as well) and goto the starship.
1 You can now get the buckle and go if you have the sandals, otherwise the gladiator is too fast for you.
1 You can leave the donkey hereif you wish as he is no longer of any use to us, but if you do you will miss a joke later on inthe game (I will explain later on). In this solution in will beassumed that the donkey is left here. Fire the dwarf.
1 You can climb out of the pit butthere is no point in doing so.
1 Yes, folks. This is your chance to win a fabulous +3 computer (or `200 in cash).
1 Why not try the following commands during the game: JOHN FRIENDS HEROS and SEX.
1 Why is the hotel locked? How do you deal with a stubborn donkey?Who is the lady in the golden cage?
1 Why am I so gone on this game,you ask? Well, because it's the best I've played since Double Agent, and it's a lovely light- hearted, romantic FUN game! Realescapist stuff - gets you right
1 When you see a band of Orcs just hide.
1 When the net is up, remove and drop the costume. Go cage and crack the whip to disclose a trapdoor. Return to the ring with the ladder, dropping the whip on the way, then climb up to a steel tightrope.
1 When one adventure seemed to start without any problems I discovered that you have to switch on CAPS LOCK!
1 When confronted by the LizardKing, join hands (you need a party of four, but not the donkey) and think hate. This will not work so think dragon. The dragon will emerge from a hole in the ground and drag the Lizard King into it.
1 Want to get the donkey over a wall? Give him a lift.
1 WITCH HUNT/THE CUP
1 WHAT ARE THE FOLLOWING ADVENTURES?
1 Unfortunately my experiences with the games turned out to be rather boring.
1 To sum up, all I can say is that I have seen better programswritten for the ZX81!!!
1 To pass the spider ask the dwarf for help.
1 To pass the rock fall just move it.
1 To pass the fallen oak tree, climb over it.
1 To pass over the pit, ""all puss"" the column.
1 To open the stone slab say move.
1 To open the castle door, ask the thief for help.
1 To kill the winged guardian, ask the elf for help. He will use the unicorn dust which he appropriated in the small cave.
1 To jump the chasm you first have to let go of the donkey's rope. In the small cave examine it and if you just wait a while the elf will find a bag of Unicorn dust. Talk to the hermittwice for some helpful advice.
1 To cross the river, ask the giant for help and he will builda boat for you. Now fire him. This may seem harsh but there isnothing he likes better than a nice vole to eat. Ugh!
1 This is a really delightful gameand very good value for money aswell as having quite a novel theme.
1 This is a five ring circus - the first was where you found the pile of rope, and here thereis a ladder. The next one to theeast is where you erect the safety net, and the next one contains a cage, with another two ring locations to the north.
1 There are two versions of Cloud 99 on the tape. The 48K version is text only and for those of you with 128K there arelonger location descriptions, graphics, more messages and moreof everything else!
1 There are puzzles galore in thisgame such as finding money to pay the inn keeper or to buy vital objects from the AdventureSection in the general store.
1 There are only 35 locations in this game, but don't make the mistake of thinking that it should be easy! The puzzles are many and varied, and things mustbe done in the right order to complete the game.
1 The solution to Competition 18 was
1 The next problem is a rat which emerges from a hole in theground and won't let you pass. Retreat back to the boulder and roll it over the hole.
1 The adventures are described as being Satanic, evil, censoredand having scenarios which some people may find offensive.
