Werner 4: Guess the verb, November 21, 2013

Overall, it was a pretty good game once i got over my first guess the verb trial. I suffered during a few guess the verb puzzles, complicated by a lack of descriptions or motivations to do said verb. It got so bad that i had to decompile from the D64 image.

Non spoiler hints:
* If you haven't found a spell before you enter the castle, you can't win.
* Examine everything
* say hello to everyone
* every command is 2 words, and only the first 4 letters are used. (EXAM SCRO works for examine scroll)
* the mirror is important, I had to guess the verb, but maybe a previous game would have hinted at the action.
(Spoiler - click to show)
Verbs that are useful:
* swap / replace
* read
* fill / pour
* open
* rub
* buy
* greet / hello
* show
* pull
* write
* learn / memorize

Easter eggs: wrap towel, open cafe, worta John, bring certain people to the Minter room, examine high school
