&Calixto Island& &&&&&&&&&&&&&&&& This game is rather short for an adventure, but long compared to most text adventures in the 80s. This one is (I think) exclusive to the Tandy computers which means you will either need one of those CoCo's around physically or find some good emulation with the images. I can't help you with the latter for legal reasons hehe. Mark Data made a lot of these adventures in their short lifespan, almost too many for the obscure Tandy which I can't think was too profitable. They seem to have lasted long enough to churn out a lot of them so someone had to buy them out there. Looking through a list I find they made almost 25% of all Tandy software. If you find one of their games now it is a collector item with some value, especially their adventure collection in some kind of (almost) complete set. Basically the limitations here are huge. You can only carry four items at a time. You will need to drop items and remember some for picking up again later on. So a lot of time will be spent trying to manage your inventory alone but with the guide here you can forego worrying at all. Be warned if you attempt to play on your own! There are lots of hints in the game which I include in the walkthrough for easier understanding of the puzzles. The parser has a nice shortcut for all commands where you only need to input the first four letters or even just one (for directions). Keep this in mind if you plan not to follow the walkthrough step by step. &Walkthrough& &&&&&&&&&&&&& LOOK TABLE GET MESSAGE READ MESSAGE DROP MESSAGE GO STAIRS GET ALL D GET RUG OPEN DOOR GO CELLAR LIGHT LIGHT LOOK CABINET LOOK CABINET PRESS SWITCH GO PASSAGE READ SIGN S UNLIGHT LIGHT DROP CHEST OPEN CHEST LOOK CHEST GET SPECS DROP SPECS LOOK CHEST GET MANUAL READ MANUAL GO DEVICE READ MANUAL GO LAB DROP MANUAL GET BOOTS GO DEVICE ACTIVATE ENERGIZER PRESS BUTTON GO FIELD DROP BOOTS DROP JEWELRY DROP RUG GO DEVICE ACTIVATE ENERGIZER PRESS BUTTON GO LAB GET SPECS GO PASSAGE LIGHT LIGHT N U DROP SPECS GO CELLAR GET PUMP GET TRAP GET BUCKET GO PASSAGE S UNLIGHT LIGHT GO DEVICE ACTIVATE ENERGIZER PRESS BUTTON GO FIELD DROP PUMP DROP BUCKET GO DEVICE ACTIVATE ENERGIZER PRESS BUTTON GO LAB GET CHEST GO DEVICE ACTIVATE ENERGIZER PRESS BUTTON GO FIELD DROP CHEST GET RUG GET BOOTS GO HILL U GO PATH ENTER SHACK TRADE RUG GET MACHETE E U GO SHED DROP BOOTS GET MICE DROP TRAP GET BOOTS W N D W CUT JUNGLE GO CREVICE LIGHT LIGHT S S S E S DROP MICE GET PADDLES N N W N GO CREVICE UNLIGHT LIGHT N E DROP MACHETE DROP LIGHT GET PUMP GET CHEST GO HILL U GO PATH DROP PUMP DROP PADDLES GO SHACK TRADE CHEST GET KEYS E DROP KEYS U GO SHED GET SHOVEL GET BOAT W GO PATH DROP BOAT DROP SHOVEL U N D GET BUCKET GET JEWELRY GO HILL U GO PATH GET PUMP PUMP BOAT GO BOAT DROP PUMP DROP JEWELRY GO BEACH DROP BOOTS GET PADDLES GET SHOVEL GO BOAT ROW BAIL WATER ROW DROP PADDLES DROP BUCKET GET PUMP GET JEWELRY GO SHORE GIVE JEWELRY GO CLEARING LOOK TOMB DIG GET POTTERY DIG GET CROWN E PUMP BOAT GO BOAT DROP SHOVEL DROP PUMP GO SHORE GET BUCKET GET PADDLES GO BOAT ROW BAIL WATER ROW GO BEACH DROP BUCKET DROP PADDLES GET BOOTS GET KEYS U N D DROP BOOTS GET LIGHT GO DEVICE ACTIVATE ENERGIZER PRESS BUTTON GO LAB GO PASSAGE LIGHT LIGHT N U UNLIGHT LIGHT DROP LIGHT UNLOCK DESK OPEN DESK DROP KEYS GET SPECS LOOK DESK GET MICROFILM LOOK MICROFILM DROP CROWN That's the end here already.
