crazy frustrated you guys. i have it all loaded into dos box but it says the ran file is missing. and it isn't! i am looking right at it! help!

[The Fifth Horseman]

dir *.exe
dir *.com
dir *.bat

Run these commands in the game directory and try the filenames they report.

Is this the game Tom Hanks plays in the move "BIG"?

All I can remember from the movie goes something like:

"Melt the monster."
"What do you want to melt him with?"

I remember playing a game like that LONG TIME ago, but can't remember what game it was but I'm pretty sure it's the one featured in "BIG" and so just curious if this is it, anyone know?

Thanks to you all, I finished this game after 25 years ! It was the very first game I ever played together with my children but never found the end. From time to time i started it new and found something out but not the finish. Castle stayed in my mind as a never fullfilled task. yesterday I read the enties and now I am through.

I am so glad that there are more friends of the old adventures and they are not forgotten .I play textadventures now like " enchanted castle" what I discovered bylooking for help for castle in the internet.

I did get the fairies and the vampire out of the way, found almost all items except:
-huge gem
-crystal ball
and I don't know how to get in the wizards secret chamber.

Does anyone have tips
and how can you get the full points, because you can't get all items

I have only played this a very short while, but when you stand on the balcony, and write LOOK GARDENS you see the gem down in the fountain....

Cristal ball is somewhere in a tower room. If i remeber it correctly

The one puzzle I have not been able to figure out in this game is the magical chains in the dungeon. I wave both the wand and scepter at them, but nothing happens.

Do these chains do anything (and if so, what's the magic trick), or are they just for show?

This is a walk down memory lane! Its hard to imagine that 1) games have come so far since I played this game and got stuck in it so long ago and 2) I considered this a good game at the time.

It's still good but only due to nostalgia factor. I may just try and beat it now, since it is now much easier to get walkthroughs than it was back in the day!

Hi!

I downloaded DOS and I have the helmet and the sword but I can't kill any monsters! I get killed anyway, slower images or not.
How do you do it? I tried to type things like "use sword" but nothing works! Please help!
You can manage to get a lot of treasures without killing them but you can't get the lamp without killing the snake.

I am all excited to play to that game again! Good memories!


Thanks!

Tips: vampires don't like holycrosses and fairies love music.
