hey hey hey!
I am only there cause...er....busy time in work [ yes that's it ;) ]
:D

I made a start on it on a spreadsheet.
All letters od alphabet at top and each symbol assigned a number.
Then linked each number to each other so when I assign a letter to a number, the whole spreadsheet will change. I'll probs work on it over the course of the w/e. I printed it out (turned it into a negative so the symbols are easier to read).

So I have put some planning into this :)

btw - another puzzle/riddle master is Cliff Johnson and his wonderful game The Fools Errand had me going for a long long time.
It, and his two other games, are available here for free:

http://www.fools-errand.com/

All 3 are are available for d/l but you do need to also d/l a prog to make 'em work. This interface has a life of 30 days [ tho' a reg cleaner sorted that one out ;) ]

Cliffs new game A Fool and his Money is realeased later this year.

That was more or less my plan of attack - I might start on it tonight.

I had fools errand on my Amiga, quality game but never completed it due to a couple of brain headaching puzzles that almost caused me to destroy everything in my house :D

Well happy to find a PC version as ultimately my disk corrupted :(

For those who want more try these sites...

http://www.quest4treasure.co.uk

edit - signup free BTW - edit

me too - my Amiga version was fantastic - I had pages of written clues and answers and it was lovely to re-live via PC. I have completed all of it and am into the map bit now and it's just a question of committing some time to it once more.
Cliff very kindly put a hint/answer book on the site so the age old brain killers can be answered at last ;)

Thanks for the quest link...now added to me faves.
