Dunnet

This walkthrough/guide is not a hint list. This will guide you through the game. For the official hints list, please visit http://www.driver-aces.com/dunhints.html

Lets go!

The following walkthrough can be found here: https://gist.github.com/kiedtl/06f728a414a7804826c378b214bf7726

WARNING: THE FOLLOWING IS A SPOILER

First Section

• TAKE SHOVEL,
• E, E
• DIG, LOOK [ What did you find? ]
• TAKE CPU
• SE, TAKE FOOD [ Don't eat it! ]
• SE, EXAMINE BEAR [ He's a beauty, isn't he? Write down what type of bear it is.]
• FEED BEAR
• LOOK [ What did it leave behind? ]
• TAKE KEY
• NW, NW
• NE, DROP KEY
• NE, IN

Oops, you need that key that we dropped earlier. Go get it yourself. OK, you have the key, and you are back at the front door of the old house.

• IN
• E, EXAMINE BINS [ WRITE DOWN these name ]

Maybe one of those people have an account on their computer.

• W, W
• PUT CPU IN CABINET
• TYPE

Now we are at the UNIX login prompt. Try each of the names we wrote down earlier and see which one had an account on the computer. HINT: People sometimes use their lat name as their username and their first name as their password. Could that be the case here?

OK, now you logged in, we are at the UNIX $ prompt.

• $ ls [ List all out files here, you are in the /usr/toukmond/ directory. ]

See all those files that end in the .o extension? Those are the items in your inventory.

Second Section

Until now, everything was realistic. Here we venture into the depth of the surreal part of Dunnet. Before, we walk around, feed ferocious bears, pick up shovel, dig, find hidden bracelets, etc. Now, we are going to roast ourselves in a Sauna, walk around INSIDE a UNIX computer, teleport ourselves around the ARPANET, explode jars of dynamite without an inch of harm to ourselves, etc etc etc etc. All kinds of things are possible. Be prepared for things to get really strange.

Back to the UNIX prompt.

• $

You see, we are going to teleport ourselves to another IBM PC called GAMMA. But if we go there, we will lose all our objects, including the ones we need. To move our inventory to GAMMA, we need to ftp our inventory there like so:

• $ ftp gamma

Now we get our login prompt, but we don't have the password. The password it stored on a file in the UNIX computer in a compressed file. We need to uncompress it and read it.

• ftp> login: idontknowwhatistheusername
• ftp> Password required for user idontknowwhatistheusername.
• ftp> Password: idontknowwhatisthepassword.
• ftp> Login failed

Now we got out of the ftp and are back to UNIX.

• $ uncompress paper.o.Z [ type it as paper.o.Z, not paper.o.z with a lowercase z ]
• $ cat paper.o [ oops, that does not work ]
• $ exit
• INVENTORY

Now you see, the slip of paper has magically appeared in our inventory.

• READ PAPER [ Write down the word that the paper tell you to remember. ]
• TYPE [ Back to the UNIX prompt. ]
• $ ftp gamma
• ftp> login: anonymous [ The username is anonymous ]
• ftp> Guest login okay, send your user ident as password.
• ftp> Password: ***** [ Type the word on the paper we read earlier. That is the password. Actually, the password is not really required. ]
• ftp> Guest login okay, user access restrictions apply.
• ftp> type binary [ Remember, we are sending our inventory as .o binary files, which will arrive as a worthless pile of protoplasm if we don't set the type to binary instead of ASCII. If you want to see what happens, after you have sent everything, type type ascii and send the paper.o file to satisfy your curiosity.]
• ftp> send bracelet.o
• ftp> send lamp.o
• ftp> send shovel.o
• ftp> send key.o
• ftp> quit [ We're done! ]

Now we are going to teleport ourselves.

• $ rlogin gamma
• $ Password: [ What was the word on that paper? ]

Then you read the following:

You begin to feel strange for a moment, and you lose your items. You step back from the console. Receiving room You are in a round, stone room with a door to the east. There is a sign on the wall that reads: `receiving room`
