Fish! ADF possible bug?

ransom1122 · 15 May 2023, 08:08

I have a problem with the game Fish!

I am using adf "Fish! v1.03 (1988)(Rainbird)[cr QTX].adf"

I have attached a savestate, simply...

Load savestate and type "TURN SWITCH"

The Pressure door does not open when you turn the switch thus not allowing you to proceed WEST?

walkthrough also show here @1:02:39

Walkthrough found here
https://www.lemonamiga.com/games/docs.php?id=652

Is this ADF version bugged or am I missing something?

Could be caused by a bad crack? The game also has WHDLoad version.

my priority is to try and and finish the ADF version to verify the ADF works.

I assume this ADF is a working one, but the message after you type TURN SWITCH mentions "you may not appreciate this extra protection" makes me think this ADF is not properly cracked

That "this extra protection" is a red herring, its referring to the fact that the protection is you not being able to open the door because of the fast moving blades that lie beyond.

Have you disabled the fast moving blades? I presume once they are stopped then and only then once you TURN SWITCH then the door will actually open.

You cannot disable the moving blades, both walkthrough and longplay only mention you have to TURN SWITCH, which then makes the door open.

In my case it doesn't happen.

maybe this can help
watch this second part non Amiga walkthrough

[ Show youtube player ]

at minute 28.30 start that sequence, and a post edit message scrolls too, mentioning that you needed to power off something before, when on your apartment, and another thing too

both to make later correctly open the door?

ransom1122 · 16 May 2023, 01:05

lemonamiga walkthrough mentions nothing about turning off power at apartment and a photocopier?

Unless the C64 version differs from the Amiga?

I may have to search for a c64 walkthrough and play the game again then...

just need to find a decent c64 walkthrough now...

i dont know if there are differences between the various releases

the official hint book can help?

https://archive.org/details/fish-solution-book

the complete solution starts on page 16
based on i dunno, maybe DOS/ Apple

there is a turn off procopier

ransom1122 · 16 May 2023, 03:47

I've used the solution from https://msmemorial.if-legends.org/games.htm/fish.php and it does work.

Walkthrough in lemon does not seem complete.

ADF is fine, and game is not bugged..

Now towards the end where you have to give one of the three fishes a TIE and go in the DISCO is causing me issues even with the solution, where you simply die back in the starting fishbowl.

Something happens where when I pass over 431 commands, typing the 432nd command brings you back to the fishbowl at the start?

It happens toward the end of the solution when exiting Paddington Station. which i have followed step by step...

Gee wiz this game is very difficult.. Maybe we need an infinite moves cheat?

Could you fill in missing parts for Lemon please?

To difficult to find the missing information..

To tell you the truth the PDF, Pages 15, 16 & 17 seems to have the full solution and is easy to follow

Use the PDF instead, otherwise maybe try and PDF to TXT those 3 pages, I tried with a free online converter and it failed

This games counts the amount of entries you type...

In the middle of this game there is a difficult puzzle where I randomly kept typing directions (wasting many entries) until I completed the puzzle.

I think this is why I didn't have enough moves towards the end which then makes it impossible to beat.
