hmmm.... you see, i thought you talk to him, and he hints that he needs something in return for one of his rare books, and then the hanging particle appears, you give him the unfinished sentence, and then you take him back to the bookworm. i'll try it your way.
Ha you give the 'unfinished sentence' to the 'dangling participle' (probably a child of the 'Bookworm ) in The Isle of the Beast, bring it back and put it on the books and ureka you get a rare book! :brain:

actually, what i messed up on, was talking to the bookstore guy, and asking about the rare book, THAT allows you to actually talk to the bookworm.

I still play it on DOS without any hitch...can't seem to understand DosBox.And dangling participle how can I send you a saved game even if I have it...I may have one saved in Isle of Wonder but towards the end?

Ah yes...you see in most games to have to get a hint from a character or place before you can see the object or perform an action!
Good luck and Happy Questing!

I had downloaded this game and other sierra ones from this site years ago, now you cannot. Is the only option to buy them on ebay now? Its a shame I never saved the games to a external hard drive or something back then

These games have been removed from the site for a good reason.

Ebay seems the only option, though I heard that Vivendi is re-releasing many of the old Sierra games, naturally polished up a little so they are XP-compliant. Who knows, you might just be lucky.

And for the future - just buy a suitably large HDD.

Yes and they are also inviting you to scan and list all your Sierra games...some sort of a prize is in the offing. Wish I had a scanner

I don't agree with that 'thebes'! It's better to know what's off limits so we don't exchange games as we used to...which is a pity though!
