CASA solution for Ferryman Awaits

Katakombs

There are many webpages with no apparent purpose. This is probably one of them. This page contains a full solution of the game Katakombs, published by Golem sometime in the early eighties (1982) for the BBC B home computer. This is a traditional adventure with the familiar environment and treasures. The game contains puzzles but maybe not to everyones sophistication.

You can carry 6 items. Some items can be worn ( Sword, Axe, Rope, Necklace ) and will then not count as being carried.

You need to collect all nine treasures, there are other objects help you acomplish this and can then be discarded. Some objects, like the rope, are used several times.

Pretty standard stuff, but not too bad, in a similar vein to Sphinx Adventure but it doesn't quite make the grade. There are no interactive characters in the game.

This solution completes the game in 172 moves and with 240/250 points. I couldn't get the last 10 points because you need to be holding/wearing all the treasures and that was not possible!!!

I also kept the coins in the chest by not doing an "OPEN CHEST".
