A Mess O' Trouble (old mac game)

[tinat]

Oh and

Oh, and during a jump gate transfer I was briefly sent to the moon, at least as the name at the top, before being sent to the begining part just outside the mineshaft... so i had to start over when it happened... So ever been to, and stay at the moon?

No! Never seen that!!

Ok, first of all thank you so much for all your help, and sorry for taking so long to get back to you, been either too busy or tired to get to this...

So yeah, I wasn't sure if the fungus horn was anything, but thanks to the gun, and your help... and I could not seem to lift the horns lids, and I face-palmed when I realized it was as simple as "open". D'oh!

Down inside the beast, did you ever find the stash of gems in the left passage? The one before you collect the hormones?
Then it took me forever before I broke down and had another look at your message to figure out how to open the wall to the symbol button/antidote room... I never would have figured to only push 3 of the buttons before pushing enter...

So now I have been trying to find new objectives to complete, and the latest one I found was the machine near the Fairy Queen's place, the guy there says it needs a fan-belt, and I remembered that there was one on the island's shipwreck... so I mannage to make my way there, especially now that I know how to escape, but now I keep getting stuck/sidetracked with the random jump gates, and wandering/fooling around... so any idea if what I'm trying to do is productive, or is this a dead-end?

The old guy in the trailer still tells me to go-away, I haven't found a way up the cliff-face, turned the fairy queen back to normal, ect... In fact I had only found a whole lot of nuthin', except bits and pieces, and getting stuck plenty.

Yeah, I almost gave up on that too, then I realised "open horn". *facepalm* Same with the orchid, use knife, not cut orchid...doh...

Yeah.... though to be honest, having played almost all the levels I already had so much treasure in my pockets that I had to drop some to take new items. (there's a limit to how much you can carry with you). So I don't get very excited over valuable items...

Oh absolutely, you need to give him a fanbelt, it's crucial for completing the magic forest world When you give him the fanbelt his robot will open the door to that castle in the back, and then there's stuff for you to do inside.

I played that bit a few months ago so my memory might not be as fresh about that... don't kill me if I've mixed something up, but I think you need to give him some golden nuggets. He won't talk to you until you have them. In one of those cabins you'll find some poster on the wall, that talks about packrats and about how they like shiny objects. After you've read it, you'll bump into a packrat next to a crumbled hut. I think it will run and you have to follow it, and it will take you to its nest, hidden behind some rubble. When you uncover the nest, I think you'll find the golden nuggets there. I think. I hope I'm not wrong.
