                  Alice in Wonderland

Alice is not an especially difficult game, but there are some tricky
parts to it. This walkthru (of sorts) should help you over the rough
spots. When playing the game, it helps to talk as much to people as
possible, although there is usually one way of talking to them (coax,
argue, etc) that will produce the best results. It's also fun to read
the various signs along the way; some are just funny, but many contain
useful clues.

Don't be afraid to explore all the doorways; just save the game first.
Some will not lead you anywhere important, but may contain clues
needed to finishing the game. Always pick up objects that are takeable;
theywill be useful somewhere along the line.

Before going down the Rabbit Hole, it is important to obtain the tin of
comfits from Alice's sister, as well as the parasol from the Reverend
Dodgson. You can coax the sister to give you the candy, and argue with
the good reverend for the umbrella. The White Rabbit can be teased to
give you the answer to the Caterpiller's riddle. Then it's down the
Rabbit Hole!

This part is pretty simple, you just keep going down most of the time.
You can actually skip the singing mouse (he wants the marmalade from
the pantry), since his song isn't used anywhere in the game. When you
reach the Chesire Cat (my favorite character) sitting on the rock,
you'll note a door off to the right. You can't reach it now, but
you'll be coming back this way later, so just keep on going down.

Eventually you will come to bottom, and reach a room with cakes. The
cakes make you taller, and elixirs make you smaller. First jump to
the cakes and get all of them. Then go back down, over to the next
room, andjump up four blocks. Eat a cake, jump over (parasol open)
to the ladder and climb up.

Get all the elixirs, then return down and to the cake room. Just left
ofthe doorway there is a tiny door. "Eat" two elixirs,and you can
enter it. You are now in the upper room. Eat a cake, jump over to the
table, and get the cake and elixir there, then jump over to the rope.
Don't climb the rope, instead walk off the left edge and open the
parasol. You'll float down to the table with the key.

Take the key, jump off, and return to the ladder room. Go up the
stairsto the small door, eat an elixir, and pass through. You're now
above the Pool of Tears. Enjoy another cake, then jump in and swim
awhile. You can pass by the second Rabbit Hole; the seashell in there
isn't all that important (but, you can get it if you like). Keep
swimming, and you will reach the beach, and you are now in Wonderland
proper.

Ok, so now you're on the beach with the Dodo. He has an important
item, which you can obtain by giving him the tin of comfits. Once you
have the stick, keep moving to the right. The second Alice is not all
that important, but talking to her will give you some extra
information. Continue on up the hill, where the White Rabbit show up
again.

 He'll mistake you for his maid, Mary Ann. Don't worry about it. Tease
him, and he'll drop his fan and vanish. Get that and keep going to the
house. Once inside, go to the door on the right and enter it, then go
up the stairs.

 Mary Ann isn't all that important, but you can talk to her until she
disappears. Then go enter the doorway. This takes you to a new room,
where there is a fireplace. Go thru there, and just follow it along.
Eventually you'll find the Mad Hatter's missing teacup. Take that, and
continue on and out of the fireplace. Now you're back downstairs again.

That's all you need here, so leave the house, and move along to the
right. When you come to the swing, climb up and get all three teapots.
After that, continue to the right. The puppy will get in your way, but
leaves when you offer him the stick (talking will do no good, so don't
even bother trying).

Pass up the tree with the rope; you aren't ready for that yet.
Continueon to the Caterpiller. Along the way, pick some mushrooms;
the white ones make you grow, and the purple ones make you shrink.
There is a second usefor the mushrooms, but that comes later.

Ask the caterpiller why he's doing that, and he'll ask you a riddle.
The answer (which you should have gotten from the White Rabbit
earlier),is "tophat" (Queens, being women, wouldn't wear such a thing).
Remember the clue the Caterpiller tells you in return.

 You're done here, so move along to the right. The Cheshire Cat pops up
again; you can amuse yourself by talking to him for awhile. After that,
continue on until you reach the Town Hall. Argue with the Clerk, and
he'll drop a Memo for you before he vanishes. Pick that up, and then
head back left, stopping at the Duchess' house.

 Climb up, making sure you get the muffin along the way. Talking to the
Duchess is not in the least important, although it does have its funny
side. What you really need to do is get to the room above, but you
don'thave what you need yet. So, go down the stove in the kitchen until
you come to the clock. Simply walk off the clock and open your parasol.

 Climb down from the housetop and enter the house. Go left and enter
the door. Inside is the March Hare, suffering from a broken heart.
Argue with the poor creature, and he will leave you a whisker before
he disappears. Take that, leave the room, and go upstairs.

 Take the first door on the right to the Bathing Machine, and then
enterit. Go down (being careful to avoid the ferret), and you will
come to the Pier. Leave the Pier by walking left until you come to
the ladder. Climb that, and continue left. You can pretty much ignore
the painting rabbit, so keep going until you come to the platform with
the rope.

 Stand on the edge and jump, opening your parasol (so as to avoid the
ferret below). Swim left and continue left until you reach the museum.
Go right and upstairs and continue on until you reach the Gryphon.
Scold him, and he'll drop a cricket bat before he disappears. Take
that, and continue right until you reach the chessboard.

 Stand to the right of the chessboard, and eat a cake (or mushroom).
Turn towards the chessboard and jump. Walk up until you reach the
middle black square in the third row. Walk up a tiny bit further,
drink an elixir, and go back down to the square and enter it.

 This is the Mad Hatter's place. Offer the teacup, and he will give
you his hat, which is one of the most important and useful items in the
game (of course, the Hatter disappears after giving you the hat).

 The part with the Queen of Hearts in the Court Room isn't especially
important. However, if you go through it, make sure to argue with the
Queen so she asks you the riddle, whose answer is "lap".

 There is nothing else of importance here, so you can go back through
the chessboard and leave the museum. On the way back, be careful. When
you are almost to the shore, use the hat to float above the ferret.
Continue on back to the Pier, and return up to the house (there is
nothing else of great importance here, but you might find it amusing
to chat with the Cheshire Cat in the Carousel Room).

 After leaving the Bathing Machine, you might want to try the next
"door" down. This is the door to Blenheim Palace. It's not especially
necessary, but if you go through it, remember to give all three teapots
to the Queen.

 Ok, now leave the house and go left until you come to Lacie the
artist. Give her the Memo, Muffin and Mushroom. She'll disappear, and
you can continue on to the Treacle Well. Climd down that and go right
to the Cricket Ground. Enter that, and keep going left to the School.

 Go to the Music Room, and coax the turtle, who will sing a song for
you. Then go to the Dance Room and enter the mirror on the left, which
will take you back to the house.

 Now go up to the Duchess, stand on the block to the right of her, make
yourself tall (with cake or mushroom), and use the hat. You'll float up
and bang into the wall, but if you stand in the right spot, you'll end
up standing on the rope afterwards. Eat a mushroom or elixir to get to
normal size, then go up the rope and make your way to the cradle.

 Examine the cradle. There is an ugly baby inside, who will turn into a
pig and walk off when you try to take it, but it leaves behind a rattle
(which you have automatically; you don't need to use the Take command).

 Ok, now comes the tedious part. You must make your way ALL THE WAY
BACK to the rabbit hole you first came down (yeah, I know, but ya
gotta!). Use the hat to float up to the ledge to the left of the
Cheshire Cat. Then eat a cake and jump over to the Cat. Stand on the
right edge of the rock, face right, and use the whisker. Shrink down
to normal, and then walk along the whisker, and up to the door.

 Inside is the Dormouse (don't worry, you still have the whisker!).
Tease him, and he'll sing you a song. Now, leave and go all the way
back to the tree with the rope hanging down. Climb that, and make your
way up to the bird's nest. Sing "Shut Your Beaks" to them, then wait
for 12 o'clock, when you can go through the mirror into Looking-Glass
Land.

 Ok, so now you're through the Looking Glass! Take the door on the
left, which leads to another room. Take the center door, and try to
help. She'll leave a brooch before vanishing. Get that, and go through
the mirror to Room Two. Climb the rope there to Room One, and go out
the window. Jump (opening your trusty parasol), and you'll be at the
bottom of the Birdbath.  If you go left, you'll find a garden and a
Buttercup in it, but it's not necessary to go there. Walk right,
passing the small Birdbath, and keep going until you come to the house
with the rope. Go up to Cloud Land, and use the hat to get to the door
you see there.  Inside is the White Knight. Help him, and he'll sing
you a song. Teasing him also produces good results. Leave, and make
your way over to the other end of Cloud Land, where you'll find the
Bread and Butter Fly. Take that, then go back down to earth.  Now go to
the railroad station (it's next to the house with the rope). You'll
need a mushroom or elixir to get in. Once inside, return to normal
size, take the first door, and then walk right to the train. Inside is
a Unicorn. Talk to him if you like, then go left to the Gnat. Try
calming him, and he'll ask you a (very old) riddle. The answer is
"Duck". Then use the hat to float up out of the train.  When you fall
back, you'll be in a different train. Walk right to the exit and leave.
Continue left, passing up the Waxworks (if you prefer, you can enter),
until you reach the Jabberwocky. Use the fan and he'll disappear. Keep
going left until you come to the tree. Stand on the left side, and use
the hat to fly up. You'll find Humpty Dumpty up there, sitting in a
nest. Tease him, and he'll leave a cravat for you.  Climd down, and
walk left. Here you need to be careful. There is a ferret bouncing
around the next screen. As soon as you enter that screen, use the hat
to float above him. Do this as quickly as you can. You'll float up to
the top of the steps (taking a fall in the process).  From there, go
left to Tweedledee (or is it Tweedledum?). Offer the rattle, and he'll
get out of your way. Continue Left until you come to the White Queen
again. Give her the brooch, and keep going until you come to the door.
Go in, and try to calm the cranky machine. It will sing you a song.
After that, leave, and go back right all the way until you come to the
ladder going down (a note here about the Red Queen in the balloon. If
you decide to visit her, the answer to the riddle is "content").  Climb
down, go left (ignore the birdcage, it's a trap) until you come to the
sheep. Sing "Munch, Munch, Munch", and you'll be able to get to the
next room. Offer the Bread and Butterfly to the Sgt. Major, then climb
up the ladder and go left.  Tease the baker, who will ask a riddle. The
answer is "Nightmare". Continue left and enter the Banquet Room. Sing
"God Save Queen Alice" to the Wasp, and you will be in the real Banquet
Room with the talking Mutton. Sing "No More Mutton" for it, and he'll
leave a paper crown (NOTE: you MUST have the crown before you visit the
Bellman).  Ok, now go back the way you came, and return to the Palace.
Keep going left there, past the Easter Rabbit, until you reach the
Barrister (British for "lawyer"). Coax him, and he'll ask a riddle. The
answer to that one is "Buttercups". Keep on left to the Bell Room.
 Stand directly under the rope, and use the cravat. It will provide a
way for you to climb up. Continue to use the cravat to get up to the
Belfry (note: always climb up on the right side). If the Bellman isn't
there yet, just wait around (you can stand there, doing nothing; time
will pass in the game regardless).

 Offer the cricket bat to the Bellman, who will give you a key. Take
that, and go back down, and out to the ladder again, and make your way
to the room that has the Banquet Room door. This time, however, go up
the stairs to the door above it and enter the Beryl Throne Room.

 You can talk to the Throne or not, as you please. Go through the door
on the other side. This leads you to a room with a ferret. DO NOT go
through the door on the bottom; it is a trap; you must go up via the
rope.

 You can pass the ferret by using the hat; it may take a few tries
until you find exactly the right spot to stand, and the right timing
as well. Once past the ferret, get up the rope quickly, and make your
way over to the White Rabbit. Give him the fan, and he'll get out of
your way. Now keep going. You'll come to another ferret; use the hat
to get past him, as well. You're almost out now!

 Go through the door at the top, and you'll be in the BallRoom. Go out
the other door, and you're in the Rabbit Hole. Use the cravat (it may
take you a few tries to find the best place). Climb up the cravat,
face right, and use the whisker. Walk along the whisker as far as you
can. Then turn left and use the hat.

 Congratulations! You made it out of Wonderland! (The ending is kinda
dull, but after all this running around, you're probably glad it's all
over!).
