MOTAS
Well here it is, MOTAS (Mystery Of Time And Space). Considered by many to be the granddaddy of all point'n'click games, I've been resisting posting it as I wanted to finish it before I did. However this is the New Years Link clearout and as I'm mailed a link to it every other week, and I haven't got round to playing it for so long, it's got to go. Maybe your comments will finally help me finish the thing.

FOR LEVEL 13: THE COLOR BOX

okay most ppl explain this rele difficult so i'll try to make it easier make sure the color thing is a square nd then arrange the colors according to wat it said in the picture (north and south are yellow, west is blue, and east is green) u can see the colors radiating on the walls too so make sure on the left wall u see blue and on the right wall u see green and then yellow on the wall in front of u and yellow on the box after u have this pull the lever...if this doesnt work rotate the box so that the other yellow side is now on the box (okay that sounded a little confusing but its the best i could do) then pull the lever again....after this a key should come down and use this to open the door where the fire was first

if u have ne questions email me @ qtpykarisam@msn.com

:
So I'm definitely stuck on level 13. I have the key card, and a screw driver. The only places I can go are outside by the wagon, though apparantly I can't actually go ni the wagon, and then the room with yet another ridiculous puzzle.


I don't understand where you got the idea that the colors represent directions. I don't see any map, or anything that's identifing directions. Is anyone else as lost as me?

Comment 383, Friday, October 27th 2006 10:08:43 AM

Deborah

:
LEVEL 13. Read KARISA'S explanation in comments 372 and 373. I was stuck for about a half hour even after reading other people's hints about what I was supposed to do. Got it in 2 seconds after reading her comment. All I can stress is that you are making the lights on the WALLS the correct color according to the North South East West directions you should already have made note of.

Make sure the box top is flat, but colorwise, pay more attention to the fact that the box is only being used to definitely get the lights on the WALLS the correct color.

For instance, if the north wall is supposed to be blue, click on the box until you see the word BLUE. Then turn the box until the word BLUE is facing the north wall, which will then show a blue light. Yea, now the north wall is the correct color; only 3 to go!

NOTE: The color you can read on the box at that time does not have to say BLUE, and probably won't. That side of the box is ultimately going to reflect the color the south wall behind you should be. The other two sides will ultimately reflect the colors the east and west walls should be. You, of course, can't see the wall behind you, but you will be able to see the colors of the walls on either side to make sure you're doing things correctly.

Do the same with all sides of the box, making sure the correct color word is facing and showing the right light on the N, S, E, and W walls (of course using the color scheme you were given before). Hope this helps. If it does not, you can email me at deborah2w@yahoo.com and I will try to help more.
