~Humbug Vocabulary, Locations and Items hints and tips - By Simon Burrows `Here's a load of info and tips for Humbug. Watch this space for a `full solution on the game just as soon as I can solve one last `problem! I CAN complete the game, but whilst doing this I confess to `cheating on one puzzle, and now I must go back and solve this. If `anyone has the answer PLEASE, PLEASE help me as it's driving me up `the wall. HOW DO I GET THE WHITE POWDER ONTO THE BUS -or- THROUGH `THE MISTY ARCHWAY? `Anyway, hope this info helps you through the game :- ~`PART 1 - VOCABULARY ~`═════════════════════ `There are three types of vocabulary used in the game. Here they are `in three separate tables :- ~`Disk Options, Information & Help Vocabulary ~`─────────────────────────────────────────── `The following words can all be used during the game to get `information to do with your progress, the product, or various disk `operations. After each word (or group of words where more than one `word does the same thing) a description of the word's use is given :- ~Who Gives you the name of your character (Sidney Widdershins) ~Help, Register Gives menu of options to do with registration, product info etc. ~Score Gives your current score, and a comment on your progress ~Time, Ver Gives current time and version number of product ~Think, Ponder, Hint Loads on-line hint system in registered product ~Ram Gives syntax for saving and loading games in memory ~Load, Restore Loads a game currently saved to disk ~Save Saves current game to disk ~Ramload, Ramrestore Loads a game currently saved in memory ~Ramsave Saves the current game into memory ~Quit Ends the current game and prompts for quit or new game ~`Useful in-game vocabulary ~`───────────────────────── `The following verbs can all be used in the game to do useful jobs `which may progress Sidney through the storyline. Each line in the `list contains words which do the same job :- Ask Attack, Bash, Break, Duff, Hit, Kick, Kill, Punch, Smash, Strangle, Thump Blow, Play Burst, Pop Buy Clean, Wash Comb Connect, Plug Climb Cut, Snip Close, Shut Drop Drop All D, Down Dig Disconnect, Unplug Dial Drink Ex, Exam, Examine, X Enter, Inside Exit, Leave, Out, Outside E, East Eat, Chew, Munch, Nibble Fire, Shoot Flush Get, Pick, Take Get All, Pick Up All, Take All Give, Offer, Show Hiccup I, Inv, Inventory, List Input, Type L, Look Lean Mount, Ride N, North Open Pour Pull Push Put On, Wear Place, Put Peel Read Remove, Take Off S, South Set, Switch, Turn Say Sign, Write Smell, Sniff Sit Stroke Tie Throw U, Up W, West Wake ~`Useless in-game vocabulary ~`────────────────────────── `The following words are understood by Humbug, but cannot be used to `useful effect in helping Sidney through the game. THESE WORDS HAVE `NO IMPORTANCE IN THE GAME, they will simply give you a humorous or `informative message. The message is given below the word that brings `it up. Again, those words grouped on the same line will give the `same message. Those words preceded with an asterisk (*) will give `you 10 points when used for the first time :- ~Applaud, Clap `"I applaud wholeheartedly." ~Blush `"My cheeks are burning." ~Burp, Belch `"Tut Tut! Whatever happened to your manners?" ~*Chortle, Chuckle, Giggle, Grin, Hop, Jump, Laugh, Smile `"Such inane behaviour doesn't actually achieve anything, but it makes `me feel a lot better." ~Cringe `"I cringe in terror." ~*Cuddle, Hug, Marry `"Don't be daft!" ~Cry, Sob `"Boo Hoo!" ~Dance, Gargle `"Feels silly doesn't it?" ~Dir `"Err.. that's an operating system command. Lets stick to natural `language, shall we?" ~Drive `"But I am too young to have a driving license. And I wouldn't want to `get into any trouble!" ~Frown `"Is something wrong?" ~Fart, Puke, Vomit `"Really! That's hardly polite behaviour!" ~Go, Move, Walk, Run `"Just a direction will do." ~Hum, Sing, Whistle `"Tum-ti-tum." ~Humbug `"At your service!" ~Hiccup `Hic! ~Hack `"No. It's not big, and it's not clever." ~*Kneel `"Nope. My name's Sidney." ~Mend, Repair, Fix `"I don't think I'm qualified to actually mend anything." ~Mumble, Mutter, Whisper `"You'll have to speak louder than that." ~No `"Oh, okay then." ~Oops, Undo `"I can't help your blundering." ~Panic, Scream, Shout, Yell `"Aaaeerrgghhhhh!" ~Pout, Sulk `"Ah, don't take it so hard." ~*Pray, Wish `"The ground shakes beneath me as a thunderous voice shouts: "I don't `know how you've got the nerve" ~Relax, Sleep, Snooze, Snore `"Zzzzz. Bored are you?" ~Shrug `"I shrug my shoulders." ~Talk, Tell `"Try asking or saying something." ~Tickle `"Such barbaric methods of torture were outlawed centuries ago. You `should be ashamed of yourself." ~Wail, Whine `"I whine mournfully." ~Waggle `"I waggle my eyebrows." ~Wiggle `"I wiggle my bottom." ~Yes `"My thoughts entirely." ~Yodel `"I yodel a merry tune." ~Yawn `"My, what big teeth you have!" ~`PART 2 - LOCATIONS ~`════════════════════ `Below is a full list of the locations which you can visit whilst `playing 'Humbug'. There are only about two locations in the whole `game which you do not have to go into at least once!! `The numbers I have given each location are the same numbers which the `author of Humbug, Graham Cluley, has given the locations. This means `that if you use a memory-resident tool such as Games Wizard or `Infinity Machine, you could make a series of searches for the `location numbers whilst in the location, to find the space in memory `where your location is stored. You could then change that memory `address so you can jump from location to location, saving travelling `time!!! `01 - Driveway `02 - Porch `03 - Main Hallway (with rug) `04 - Sitting Room `05 - Dining Room `06 - Alcove Underneath Stairs `07 - Cellar (in present time) `08 - Kitchen `09 - Pantry `10 - First Floor Landing `11 - Grandad's Bedroom `12 - Bathroom `13 - Second Floor Landing `14 - Spare Bedroom `15 - Third Floor Landing `16 - Attic `17 - Roof `18 - By Chimney `19 - Laboratory `20 - Study `21 - Passage (between main hallway and sitting room) `22 - Entrance Hallway (below hidden staircase in present time) `23 - Centre Chamber (in present time) `24 - East Alcove (in present time) `25 - South Alcove (in present time) `26 - North Alcove (in present time) `27 - Top of Hidden Staircase (in present time) `28 - Laundry Room `29 - Manor Grounds (east of drive) `30 - Beside Well `31 - By Pond `32 - Beside Maze `33 - Maze Passageway `34 - Centre of Maze `35 - Island on Pond `36 - Viking Galley `37 - Tunnel (just east of cellar in present time) `38 - Tunnel (T-Junction just east of location 37) `39 - By Grating (just east of location 38) `40 - Cellar (in past time) `41 - Top of Stairs (in past time) `42 - Tunnel (east of location 40) `43 - Tunnel (east of location 42) `44 - By Grating (in past, just east of location 43) `45 - Entrance hall (in past, just east of location 44) `46 - Top of Hidden Staircase (in past time) `47 - Centre Chamber (in past time) `48 - East Alcove (in past time) `49 - South Alcove (in past time) `50 - North Alcove (in past time) `51 - Tunnel (outside location 52) `52 - Games room `53 - Tunnel (south of location 51) `54 - Bus Stop `55 - Frog and Ferret (pub in past time) `56 - Waiting Room `57 - Butler's Room `58 - Tunnel (east of location 53, with washing machine) `59 - Golden Gulp (bar/club in present time) `60 - Bottom of Well `61 - Tunnel (in well, north of location 79) `62 - Manor Grounds (west of drive, outside Horace's hut) `63 - Inside Horace's Hut `64 - Copse `65 - Tunnel (by metal door, east of location 58) `66 - Oubliette `67 - South Deck of Viking Boat `68 - North Deck of Viking Boat `69 - Yard `70 - Inside Hen House `71 - Back Garden (in present time) `72 - By Bath (north of location 71) `73 - Tunnel (with bouncer, outside location 59) `74 - Hacker's Room `75 - Field (in present time) `76 - Oily Cave `77 - Rubbish Room (or junk room as it's called on map) `78 - Crypt `79 - The Priesthole `80 - Storage Room `81 - Rabbit Warren (by rabbit) `82 - Rabbit Warren (north of location 81) `83 - Tunnel (east of location 73) `84 - Dead End (past wall of fire) `85 - Back Garden (in past time) `86 - Field (in past time) `87 - Outside Frog & Ferret Pub (in past time) ~`PART 3 - COLLECTABLE ITEMS ~`════════════════════════════ `Below are two tables giving information about the 91 objects which `can be COLLECTED and carried around during the game. Table 1 lists `the use for each of these objects, and table 2 lists how each one can `be acquired.
