A nice looking PAWed text adventure by Stefan Vogt.

HIBERNATED 1:THIS PLACE IS DEATH

It looks like that sexy loader is reserved for the cassette release.

Yes, is it a final version?
I've seen it a few days ago and wondered if I should report it here but the file I downloaded lacked the loading screen.

HINT says examine everything but i did already.

Take Io with you, it will be useful.

What stage are you at? Have you solved any of the puzzles on the alien ship?

This is a great text adventure, it's fairly easy to make progress quickly and the locations are all clear and compact even without making a map (something I've yet to do, it might reveal something). However, as always I eventually start to flounder.

Solved:
Spoiler
Hacked the spider
Regenerated the hand EDIT - progress made -finally was able to open the door with hand
Read the cuneiform language with IO
Can anyone help with this?
Spoiler
How do I use the connector with IO so I can use the freight terminal?
I thought the binary on the loading screen might be a clue to something, turns out it's ASCII for the publisher - "pond"

Have been enjoying this.

Haven't got very far, but it's nicely presented. At the moment I'm trying to work out how to get through the security door on the alien ship.

Don't think I've got as far as R-Tape...

Not far off, though I made a bit of a breakthrough since posting.

Don't know if you want tips based on your screenshot:
Spoiler
USE IO around any alien computer terminals
And I've buried a spoiler 3 times with more detail in case you're really struggling.
Spoiler
Spoiler
Spoiler
USE IO around the other terminal (not the freight one), it identifies the language, GO POLARIS, RESEARCH CUNEIFORM, this enables IO to read the terminal, you can then use the ID Chip which opens up other avenues.

The first spoiler was enough..! Thanks.

Haven't managed to solve your problem though.

At the moment I'm trying to:
Spoiler
Get through the decontamination zone.

I've managed to acquire:
Spoiler
a vaccine, but it won't let me drink it for some reason

I still haven't solved the connector but I'm in a similar position to you. I haven't made that acquisition but I think I know where.

It's just a hunch and I can't test it till later, but...
Spoiler
I think the toilet/hygiene pod thing may play a part here.

Had my first decent session last night, excellent game, made about as much progress as you guys.

Spoiler
The connector is used with IO in the library (if memory serves correct)
I've got the cryopod open with the dead alien in it, I haven't cracked the decontamination area yet!

Just a little note regarding Hibernated 1. It's no longer a PAWed adventure game, having been recoded to use DAAD (DAAD: https://spectrumcomputing.co.uk/index.p ... 6&id=30013 )

You can download the latest version from Stefan's ichio page. https://8bitgames.itch.io/hibernated1 A physical release on Spectrum tape (with a bonus adventure) is due out soon.

DAAD itself has recently been fully recovered & re-published and now comes in a proper English-language version: http://8-bit.info/infinite-imaginations-aventuras-ad/

Sorry, missed this back in Sept. It makes sense to me that Hibernated-1 should be in both the authored with PAW and DAAD groups. Do we all concur?

It's an interesting one, that's for sure. I'd almost be tempted to say that they deserve two entries... one for the PAWed game and one for the DAAD game.

But I don't think that's currently how the database does things... or, at least, it doesn't consistently differentiate between two versions of a game with completely different code.

For example, The Quest for the Golden Eggcup...
https://spectrumcomputing.co.uk/index.p ... 96&id=6841

Came in two completely different versions. One was the original Quilled version. The other was authored, according to magazine articles, with Smart Egg's own adventure system. (*not the Quill... although there is discussion and investigation ongoing about that). There are significant differences between the two versions in the code, the graphics, the map & the puzzles. Yet they are listed as a single entry.

Compare this to Methyhel...
https://spectrumcomputing.co.uk/index.p ... 96&id=6678
and
the 'Special Edition' Methyhel...
https://spectrumcomputing.co.uk/index.p ... 96&id=6679

At their heart, they are both the same game but the 128K version is significantly different to the original multi-part 48K version.

To make matters more confusing for Methyhel... they are both (substantially) reworked versions of the earlier Nythyhel...
https://spectrumcomputing.co.uk/index.p ... id=0006752

There are probably quite a lot of examples like this. Quill or GACed text adventures often got extended or reworked with PAW. Often published by completely different publishers at a later date.

Perhaps a case of OPEN CAN (of words)?

IGNORE CAN might work.

A single entry seems the way to go, though, if something like Spellbound only gets one entry for two, quite different versions...

GET CAN
CRUSH CAN
PUSH CAN UP GAZELLE'S ARSE
KICK GAZELLE

I need to do more research before I can comment further (I've wreaked enough havoc already with the maze genre thread :mrgreen: )

"With one swift blow the gazelle cleaves your skull.
You are dead.
You have mastered 2.5% of this adventure."

I'll probably buy this, but for now—does anyone have it and is able to supply a .scr of that ace loading screen?

[mention]druellan[/mention] I see you've uploaded a .png (ta!), but if possible I'd like to get this one as a .scr.

It’s available on ZX Art. Not sure if you want to take it from there, though.
