Hi fellow Boomers,
I've never heard of this game until I read this thread. Can anyone tell me if and where this game is available for download? I just looked at Mag's walkthough and it looks like the type of game that I would like to play.

It's an older game and not available for download anywhere, as far as I know. I believe that oldbroad is playing this on her Windows XP computer, and no idea whether the game would run on systems newer than that, although I tend to doubt it.

I see a few for sale on eBay; here is one listing.

It's not available for download -- not from any legitimate site anyway -- and probably won't ever be due to the presence of 16-bit code. Pilgrim was originally published in 1997 for Windows 3.1/95. Windows 3.1 means 16-bit code, which won't run on 64-bit Windows outside of emulation. Although the game was re-released in 2001 for Window 95/98/ME, it's not likely that the 16-bit code was replaced because Windows 95/98/ME is 32-bit and works fine with 16-bit code. 32-bit XP also works with 16-bit code.

Well said, Jenny - that's the long and the short of it.

Yes Sandy. I'm playing in my XP from a disc I found on Amazon. Took a chance hoping it would work in XP and so far, so good.

Thanks to all of you, fellow Boomers,
Since I now have a WIN 10 PC, I guess I'll just have to pass on this one. HAPPY GAMING!

Mad, did the picky part have anything to do with having to do things in an exact order? I seem to be stuck trying to give the money changer a bag of money that he won't take. I took a look at the walkthrough and it seems I just did things in a different order but I'm not sure. I haven't really been able to play much lately but will be home tomorrow and will try to figure out what I did wrong or didn't do. I hope it is not an "order" issue. I don't like that. I hope I just missed something somewhere.

I really hope it isn't an "order" issue either. I tend to equate that with poor game design.

I agree... definitely one of my biggest pet peeves with some games.


Gardens put to bed for the winter. Time for some gaming!

"Mad, did the picky part have anything to do with having to do things in an exact order?"

After all this time I honestly can't say for sure, oldbroad, but I think it's very likely it would have.
Some of those older games did suffer from such faults and I found consulting a walkthrough to be the best way to get past them crazy]

Oh, dear !! lol

Well I hope you do manage to carry on, oldbroad.

On the whole, even though it had its moments, I did like this game thumbsup

I typed the wrong thing above. It is the cutler that I'm clicking the money bag on (I typed the money changer above but that was my bad memory typing) which is what the walkthrough says to do, and then you are supposed to click Paul on him. When I click the money bag, the cutler stops sharpening and looks up, then when I click Paul on him he looks down. He doesn't do anything else. Doesn't start sharpening again, doesn't talk, doesn't take the money. Therefore, I cannot go back to Paul's home without the maid shutting the door in my face. I guess I will play the part over and hopefully be done with it.

I DO like the game Mad, but when I have to do the same thing over and over, I need long breaks in between. I'm going to go give the replay a try right now though!

Only ended up having to replay 1/2 of the section. Started where I knew what everybody needed but I hadn't started fulfilling their needs. I think the difference was something to do with when I did the scale puzzle. Not sure though but I didn't have any trouble after that.

Am now in the Abbey dungeon.

Well, I finally made it out of the dungeon. If there was logic to the art room puzzle I sure didn't get it. There are 20 pictures and you have to use all 20 to open the door. I was playing trial and error for quite a while crazy

At least I am not leaving the game tonight in 'stuck' position.

Thanks for your support!! flowers

I'm stumped. I am trying to find Durandal the sword. I found "a" sword and I found a staff. There is a room with holes all in the floor that the staff will disappear into. I thought I was putting it in the sword or something but nope, it is going into the floor never to be seen again and doesn't seem to accomplish anything except that the holes are no longer active hot spots.

Or is it going in the sword? I can't really tell, but the hot spot on the top of the sword does go away when I put the staff in there. I am doing this on the slab where the sword goes. But even if this is correct, I am still stuck then. It is still not Durandal and I don't see anything else to do.

Can you try to hint me?

Thanks!

The staff and the sword are placed in two different places. Have you gone down to the basement mausoleum yet?

Different places huh? So, I guess I might have to try all those different holes and see if there is any difference...

Not sure what the basement mausoleum is so I don't know if I've been there. How would I recognize it if you can say without giving something away?

After you have picked up the sword, the walkthrough says to climb the stairs, out of the basement mausoleum...

Hm. That sounds like the room I am describing with holes in the floor. The sword is actually first picked up in the building above the room. I'll have to work on where the staff goes I think.

Thanks Marian. I'll let you know but not sure when I'll be trying it.

OK Marian. I'm not getting anywhere.

I know there is a column that is in what I assume is the mausoleum that shows a picture. It has an "active" spot so I assume it means something but I cannot figure it out.

What I referred to as the room with holes in the floor is I assume the mausoleum basement. There are crosses around the room and in the middle of the room a slab that you can put the sword in. The shaft will fit in any of the 36 holes and then will disappear and doesn't seem to add anything to the game.

The only other "active" spot I see is on some statue thing way at the other end of the scene. When I click it I get a close up of the statue. It is snow covered and there is a fan like picture or whatever on it. I don't know how else to describe it. It doesn't do anything.

I don't know if this is enough info for you to help me or not??

After you have picked up the sword and the staff, the walkthrough says to go back down to the basement mausoleum and place the sword at:

Click to reveal..
the center wooden block


The staff gets placed somewhere else.

Let me know if this helps get you moving again.
