There must be people who still play these games. I have gotten all the way through adventure ("adventurer grandmaster", oooh) but have run into a few stumbling blocks playing zork. I have a few questions that I could use answers (hints?) to. Here are some of them: 1) How to get the sphere? 2) How to cross the rainbow? 3) What room is "Hello, sailor" useful? 4) What is the word that scares the cyclops? ("Sinbad" did in one version. 5) What is the curtain of light and its use? 6) What are the timbers good for? If there is anyone out there who would be interested in trading info, giving hints, or answering questions about these games, I would greatly appreciate it. Thanks, Mike Hatch
