A Curious Observatory

[aquaMat]

Toybox made an important point above:  there should really be some PLAYERS, who are not DESIGNERS on the jury....'cause we designers might judge differently, knowing all the

building tricks

etc.  So I vote for a half 'n'half jury of builders and players.

And BTW, I said it too, a long while ago...that ACO is the best-built mansion..... and again Toybox is right...if it only was more accessible, so everyone might be able to experience the whole of its beauty.

[quote author=Freddy link=1170189577/15#17 date=1172172774]I have no problem at all. Psychotronic is by far the best PLAYER in the world. And it is only MY personal opinion that ACO is the best mansion made ever. But ... only for very experienced players. Believe me!! How many of you have ever seen the 2D-area?? And did beat it? Is there anyone out there that got 100 % secrets?

I beat the thing but only had 91% secrets. I'm going back to play it again now that I know where everything is.

Hi Freddy,

Well, I'm going to try the thunderstorm again.  I put this mansion on hold for a while.  

Re: your hint, I did try not pulling those levers with the b.b., but the thunderstorm still was full force.  

1.Which levers are you referring to?
2.Do they actually stop or slow down the storm.  I have gotten thru it one way only.
3. Is there another blue key elsewhere or do we have to go thru the storm?
4. can't another blue key be put elsewhere, other than the storm?
5. there should be a save on the same level as the storm.

Wish me luck.....love this mansion, toooo bad the storm prevents us from getting the necessary key to continue the game.

I made it thru the storm, got my 3 blue keys.....went up the ladder & messed up the code. I am on my 4 try. Can some one PM me the code please.

Hey Missy- check your messages.

Hi Josephine,

Thank you so much for taking the time to help me with the code.  

You are so right.....the next part is very hard.  But with practice...I hope to over come the difficulty.  (Hopefully sometime this year!)  lololol
I wish there was a save close by after making it thru those crazy rooms.

Added note: I finally finished the mansion. Had to try many times, but finally got thru it.
It is really an Epic of a Mansion.

Hey Missy

I know it is more or less a matter of adoration. But I still believe that this is the best mansion ever. Large, (very) hard, clearly devided sections, really perfect design, superb master puzzle and most importantly: ABSOLUTELY FAIR !!

Enjoy.
