1. INTRODUCTION
Mickey's Space Adventure is yet another Sierra product and yet another
they licensed from a popular character. In it Mickey travels from the
Earth to the eight other planets in the solar system. He must find a
piece of a crystal in each one; to do so will bring back a powerful
artifact that will help restore the history of an alien race from Oron.
The order of the planets is different in each game and the control is a
bit awkward as you have multiple choices of verbs and then nouns. In
fact you never have to worry about which item to use in a place if it is
in your inventory. There will also be artifact verbs/nouns left over.
2. CONTROLS
2.1. SETTING THE GAME UP
You can find the game for free in the downloads section of
allowe.com. He has a few other neat games he wrote there as well but
barring Black Cauldron this is probably the most complex, although I
prefer Winnie the Pooh in the 100 Acre Forest.
http://www.allowe.com/download.htm is where you can get this game and
others for FREE! Yay!
When you download the game you will have a ZIP file, Mickey.zip,
which has two sub-folders: DISK 1 and DISK 2. I didn't know how to map a
directory to a: or to fool the computer into doing so, so I just went
and bought a set of 3.5" floppy disks. Then I copied DISK 1 directory to
the first a: disk(XCOPY /S * a:) and did the same for the DISK 2
directory. It's easy enough to format a blank save disk as well.
So:
--format disk 1 on a:(format a:)
--format disk 2 on a:
--format save disk on a:
--xcopy /s "disk 1*" a:
--xcopy /s "disk 2*" a:
You're ready to play. Just stick disk 1 in the floppy drive, and go
a:mickey.exe.
2.2. THE GAME ITSELF
You choose a verb and then a noun for each action. The verbs are in
the top row of text, the nouns in the bottom. Most of the combinations
won't make sense so you have to be careful. For instance, you might
have:
GO TAKE LOOK
NORTH ITEM CANYON
Now GO NORTH may be OK but TAKE NORTH isn't. Use the right/left arrows
to choose between nouns/verbs and then hit return. You also have to hit
return twice after choosing your noun for some Windows versions. It's
probably one of the bugs of having a DOS emulator on Windows.
3. ITEMS
Not all items that appear in the game wind up in the actual inventory.
We only deal with the useful ones here. There are other items that are
useful but are not treated as inventory: for instance, your space suit.
crowbar: could pry things open
rocks(2): could help Mickey walk across dangerous places
sunglasses: could be useful for creatures who spend lots of time in
the sun
scarf: could be useful on a cold planet
rope: could be useful for climbing down places where you couldn't do
so by yourself
wrench: could help open a door or untighten a rusty screw
crystal pieces(9): get all of these and you win the game
paper/stamp/pencil: write a letter to Minnie to let her know you're
gone.
scale: lets Mickey weigh himself if he finds the right location on
various planets.
letter: finished result of paper/stamp/pencil
hard muffin: Mickey can eat it in the ship. It's not a big deal
really.
bone: feed this to any dogs you may find on alien planets.
mattress: plastic, so it inflates. Maybe travel across water/liquid?
space suit: you can explore a planet for a certain time in it. You get
three warnings before Mickey and Pluto tire out while exploring a
planet.
4. MAPS
Each world has a roughly square map(except Earth) and none is too
complicated so I thought I would replicate it here. There are no real
location names so I often just put in asterisks.
Maps don't appear until you've been assigned to a particular planet;
you know this by the clue you've been given. Othewise you can only go
back to where you were. I'll start with the closest planet to the sun
and then move away.
& = where you can weigh yourself
! = crystal's location

5. WALKTHROUGH
5.1. THE BIG PICTURE
The toughest part of the walkthrough is making sure your air doesn't
run out. If it does, Mickey and Pluto are unable to continue because
they are tired. Very G-rated. XL30 gives the following warnings:
20 turns: Be aware of the air supply.
30 turns: Air supply is getting low!
40 turns: Warning: Air supply is dangerously low! Get back to the ship
fast!
50 turns: Mickey and Pluto have run out of air and are too tired to
continue!
Even a move where the computer says it doesn't understand is counted
as a move.
I don't know what happens if you putz around in your spacesuit on the
ship in your spacesuit.
The next toughest part is making sure you have everything you need on
earth. Of course you can go back later and get it all but that takes
time and with the A-drive humming things can get a bit tiresome.
You also need some persistence to get some items, and sometimes you'l
need to make a move that won't seem to do any good in order to 'unlock'
a new and better move.
5.2. PLANET BY PLANET
I abbreviate each compass direction with its first letter. So 'GO
NORTH' is abbreviated to 'N.'
Earth(where you start:_
E. N. CLIMB TREE. GET CRYSTAL. CLIMB DOWN. S. W. W. S. W. W. N. N. W.
ENTER DOGHOUSE. GET BONE. LEAVE DOGHOUSE. W.
And now for the most annoying item to get in the game...
GET ROPE. UNTIE ROPE. GET ROPE.
S. E. ENTER HOUSE.
[Optional: LOOK DESK. WRITE LETTER]
E. OPEN CUPBOARD. GET FLASHLIGHT. E. OPEN CABINET. GET CROWBAR. GET
WRENCH. LEAVE GARAGE. N. GET SUNGLASSES. [GET SCALE allows you to weigh
yourself in certain locations on the planets/moons but is not necessary
to solve the game.] W. OPEN CHEST. GET SCARF. GET MATTRESS. S. LEAVE
HOUSE. S.
[Optional: MAIL LETTER if you wrote it. This gives you the alternate
ending.]
E. E. E. N. N. E. ENTER SHIP.
That's a lot of work, but fortunately Earth is the hardest and most
complex of the planets. Now once in the spaceship the commands are
always the same, except the first time you enter it you will not need to
REMOVE SPACESUIT.
If you were unable to get the crystal on the planet where the crystal
was, you simply PUSH BUTTON. REMOVE SPACESUIT. WEAR SPACESUIT. PUSH
BUTTON. GO [PLANET].
PUSH BUTTON. REMOVE SPACESUIT. N. W. FLIP SWITCH. PRESS ORANGE[0, 1, 2
OR 3 times]. PRESS BLUE[0, 1, 2 or 3 times]. PULL THROTTLE. PUSH
THROTTLE. E. S. WEAR SPACESUIT. PUSH BUTTON. GO[PLANET].
Planet | Code
-------+-------
Mercury| O
Venus | B
Earth | O B
Mars | O O B
Saturn | O B B
Jupiter| O O B B
Uranus | O O O B B
Neptune| O O B B B
Pluto | O O O B B B
Pushing something invalid(O B O B O B) or pushing seven buttons tells
you to go to the map room(E. N.) and read the chart.
Note the distinction between press and push. The game refers you to
press if you choose push button but that's a rather silly trivial
difference, isn't it?
Now I'll go in order from nearest to furthest from the Sun, excepting
what is always the final planet.
Mercury:
N. W. W. GET CRYSTAL. GIVE SUNGLASSES. S. E. E. ENTER SPACESHIP
Venus:
E. E. DOWN CHASM. USE ROPE. DOWN ROPE. OPEN HATCH. USE WRENCH. OPEN
HATCH. GET CRYSTAL. CLIMB ROPE. W. W. ENTER SPACESHIP
Mars:
N. N. GO TUBE. USE FLASHLIGHT. E. PLUTO DIG. GO TUBE. LEAVE TUBE. S. S.
ENTER SPACESHIP
Saturn:
E. CROSS LAKE. USE MATTRESS. GET CRYSTAL. LEAVE ISLAND. W. ENTER
SPACESHIP
Jupiter:
S. E. GET ROCK. N. E. E. N. GET CRYSTAL. THROW ROCK. N. W. W. S. GET
ROCK. N. E. E. S. GET CRYSTAL. THROW ROCK. GET CRYSTAL. S. W. W. W.
ENTER SPACESHIP
Neptune:
E. E. N. LOOK CASTLE. ENTER OPENING. USE CROWBAR. ENTER OPENING. S. S.
S. W. GET CRYSTAL. GIVE SCARF. LEAVE CASTLE. W. [S?];. ENTER SPACESHIP
Pluto:
S. S. W. GET CRYSTAL. GIVE BONE. N. N. E. ENTER SPACESHIP
Uranus:
S. E. ENTER TEMPLE. USE CRYSTAL. OPEN DOOR. ENTER DOOR. GET CRYSTAL. USE
CROWBAR. LEAVE CHAMBER. W. LEAVE TEMPLE. N. W. ENTER SPACESHIP
After this you just go back to Earth and on exiting the spaceship you
get one of two endings.
5.3. DIFFERENT ENDINGS
If Mickey wrote a letter before he left, Minnie will greet him when he
comes home. If not the game informs you that next time you play you can
try to have someone waiting when you get home.
6. CLUES FOR WHERE TO GO NEXT
As you are randomly directed around the planets, sometimes it may take
a while to figure out which to go to next. Now while you can proceed by
trial and error and do OK(go one by one to each planets, removing/taking
the spacesuit, and you'll eventually get it right) this can be a bit
laborious even if you take notes on the landing dialog for later trips.
So which comment gets you where? There are six comments for Venus and
five for all the others; Earth is not included. Uranus is always last.
Hopefully this solution guide will be a quick list of fun facts as
well for the curious.
