- THE ADVENTURE COLUMN
-
- Welcome to the adventure column, hopefully this will become
- a regular feature of ON-DISC from now on. This column will
- act as a forum for your views, hints and tips on adventuring
- on the ST. I want to hear from all you adventurers out there
- so send in your hints and tips for any adventure and in
- return you'll get your name in print ( not to mention the
- fame and fortune that comes along with that! ). This way I'll
- be able to share them with your fellow adventurers who I'm
- sure will be very grateful! If you have any problems with a
- particular adventure then send them in and I will include
- them in the column ( hopefully with an answer! ).
-
- Send in your letters, solutions, hints etc on disk or letter.
- As usual all contributions on disk will be rewarded with PD
- software. I'm sure that you're all dying to get your name in
- print! Elsewhere in the magazine you should find a review of
- Leisure Suit Larry. Anyone who has played the game will be
- familiar with the question routine at the start. I have
- included answers to most of these questions for you to print
- out ( I'm too kind! ). It took quite a while for my
- friend and I to compile the list. I hope I haven't missed
- any! I'll be printing more hints and solutions in the future
- so keep buying ON-DISC!
-
- If you haven't heard already Level 9 are being published by
- Mandarin Software. Who are they? A good question, Mandarin
- have been set up by Database Publications ( Atari ST User etc
- ). Apparently they have a million quid in the coffers to use
- in software acqusition etc. Hopefully this means some quality
- releases from them.
-
- Rumour has it that Incentive Software Ltd are about to
- release GAC for the ST. It will be renamed STAC and will be
- an improvement of the popular eight bit version. To the
- uninitiated GAC stands for Graphic Adventure Creator. This
- utility allows you to create your own adventures and is a
- complete package for adventure writing. All that you need is
- a good idea and some creative writing.
-
- There have been some good budget adventures produced by
- utilities of this type ( and some bad ones! ). Although it
- remains to be seen if STAC adventures can compare with the
- likes of Magnetic Scrolls. By the time you read this it may
- well have been released!

- HINTS AND TIPS SECTION
-
- This section will be the part you write so don't delay, write
- today! To kick of this first edition here are some tips for
- Sierra's Leisure Suit Larry:
-
-
- Read the writing on the wall a few times.
- Use the phone outside the store then answer it after you've
- come out of the store.
- To get past the bouncer find the membership card in the
- ashtray.
- The girl likes lots of presents!
- The girl likes to dance!
- You find the weirdest things in trash bins.
- Why did the adventurer cross the road ? Because he likes
- getting run over!
- Look in the sink for a girl's best friend.
- Hmmn, the fourth floor of the hotel looks interesting.
- The security guard looks even more interesting!
-
- The Pawn
-
- To kill the adventurer give him the chest.
- To move the boulder tie the rake and hoe together with your
- shirt.
- Use the white to 'kill' the snowman.
- To get the white fill the bowl with snow, give it to the
- guru, go to the tree stump and mix the contents of the bag.
- Don't forget to take the rope after you've tied it to the
- hook or you'll fall to your death when you try to go down!
- To cross the rocky terrain you'll need the horse with no
- legs ( kill the adventurer and take his horse ).
- To get the posion ask the Devil about Kronos.
-
- Guild of Thieves
-
- The treasures you require are as follows:
- The incense burner, the sheet of music (under the stool ),
- the diamond ring, the china pot, the oil painting, the dress,
- the ivory rhino, the brooch, the platinum chalice, the
- diamond ring, the ruby, the gem ( found in the wax ),
- plectrum from the miller, mineral chips and the statuette.
- Don't miss the rat race and don't forget to pick the best
- odds!
- Don't have any money to bet with? You're supposed to be a
- thief! Look in the cushion.
-
- Planetfall
-
- Wait till the fireworks start then go into the escape pod and
- strap yourself in.
- Take everything before you open the door and swim up.
- Floyd can be a help as well as a pain!

- solutions etc to:
