Think about the images, and what they represent.

Spoiler
And think of it as a word game.

Good game so far, I've just gotten into the dungeon. I'm not totally sure how I got past the Dungeon riddle, though - I had an idea which didn't work, then I just randomly hit buttons and that did.

I realy didn't know that dragon cave riddle would be so complicated to solve.
By the way, is background music working?

You mean the compass riddle, don't you? Well, if you are interessted what the answer is
Spoiler
the answer is "news" speelled out of the first letters of north, east, west, south.

Boris, it's  areally nice game and your little dragon's such a sweet creature (sp). I especially liked your cursor graphics. They are really good drawn. I thought the puzzels where a little bit easy. I figured them out very fast, but nevertheless it's a great game. The only puzzle I had difficulties with was the dragon cave riddle.
Spoiler
I knew at once what the answer is and after a few seconds I knew that I had to use the pictures to spell it. The problem was that I didn't realised that the grass is grass. First I thought it's a forest so it took some time to find out how to spell night without a "g". Perhaps it's just me who didn't know what grass looks like ;)

Thanks. I really didn't want to make a difficult game, because, I am so ashamed to say that, I am worst adventure game player ever. I don't know why, but I allways get stuck somewhere, and I have finished only 2 (professional) adventure games (you can guess what 2), so I didn't want other people to feel bad about themselves like I do when reading walktroughs.

Yup, that's the one, and that was the way I tried to solve it, but it didn't seem to work for me untill I randomly hit buttons. Strangely, when I restarted the game (just to try that puzzle again) it worked fine.

Oh, and BorisZ:
Spoiler
Did you get the gravestone puzzle from the old Hitchhiker's Guide text game, or is it just a coincidence? (If you don't know which game I mean, it obviously is a concidence. Sorry)
[close]
The background music works fine, and fits nicely (so much so that I just had to load the game up to check if there was any!).

I heard about this game and about the book too, but I didn't play it (also didn't read the book), so it is a coincidence.
Thanks for the compliments, all of you!

I've just finished it. Nice game :) But there weren't enough background musics. My favourite part of the game was when we fight the evil mage, the replies we gave were really funny.

What do you mean? Every area has it's own background music (even the chapter titles).

Was wondering what these various inventory items were for?

I noticed that the satyr looked rather similar to Tony Blair (UK prime minister), was that deliberate!!!  ;D

Use potion with book (or vice-versa) to find out what kind of potion it is, and then use it on dragon (only when you are in the same room as gnome. Now you are invissible and you can pass!

Embarrasing and pathetic, but I can't seem to do anything in this game except wander around, look at things and talk to the wizard guy.

There are 3 rooms in the beggining, maybe you didn't find the third? It's all the way to the east. It'll taker you to the riddle.

This game is really cool. It is a little dull at times, because adventure games shouldnt be linear. There should be much to do and many ways to do it. Seriously, i did like your game just passing along advice. The graphics and animation were beyond anything i have done

I cant get past the woods. I am in the area with the gravestone and the grim reaper? Please tell me what to do
Title: Re: Dragon Tales

Poop, you might want to use something sharp on the gravestone, since the Reaper is waiting for a certain someone.

The wizard is speaking backwards, and you have to reply backwards. I don't remember the exact responses, but one of them always makes sense.

EDIT: Played it through, got the spells and responses (Big spoiler, obviously, so only read if you're really stuck:

Spell 1:
Enots otni uoy nrut lliw i (I will turn you into stone)
Response 1: Oot kcor emoceb lliw uoy (You will become rock too)

Spell 2: Eci otni nrut lliw i (I will turn you into ice)
Response 3: Tub elttil ezeerf lliw you (You will freeze your little but)

Spell 3: Dum ekil eb ecaf rouy (Your face will be like mud)
Response 1: Srouy sa ytrid sa ylraen ton (Not nearly as dirty as yours)

Spell 4: Sesuoh sa gib lliw srae rouy dna (And your ears will be big as houses)
Response 4: Uoy ot netsil ot evah t'nod i fi ko s'ti (It's OK if I don't have to listen to you)
