from: the Asimov collection HOW TO SOLVE PALACE IN THUNDERLAND written by Chip Hayes THE OUTPOST 312/\441-6957 Well, this one, like its' predecessor, MADVENTURE, is a tough sucker. If you are after hints, this ain't the place! This will be a straightforward walk- through. If you need hints, try the following: 1. When you first enter the castle (N), you meet a rabbit. 'LOOK RABBIT' and then 'APOLOGIZE' for being late. This will give you one important clue. 2. Get the singing sword from the trophy room and 'LISTEN' to it in every room you enter. This will give you a great many different clues/hints. Now for the walk-through.... (Break out if you don't want the answers!) From the starting point in the courtyard....
