The game is working now! Lol i love the way they say the whole ghost scene:
“Hey Dad,” you say cheerily. “What’s up?”
“Hamlet,” says the old man after a sigh, “you remember how I was found mysteriously dead in the orchard a couple of weeks back? Well… it’s like this. Your uncle Claudius poisoned me so he could become king and marry your mother. I’d be awfully grateful if you could kill him for me.”
“All right,” you say, “I’ll do it!”
Your life suddenly seems to have purpose.
It did go exactly like that. lol Isn’t that how you imagined it?
It’s a pretty cute game, actually. There are a few twists, like you have to know a bit about the play of Othello and Macbeth when you run into those characters in the game, but it just adds a little more to your quest. Did you think to grab a bat when you were talking to the ghost?? You’ll have to find your way back to the balcony if you didn’t.. lol
Glad to see you’re enjoying your long weekend properly!! See you Tuesday..
Ugh.. now you got me back into it. Just in case you don’t know “how” to get a bat, here’s the plan:
> look at ghost
He looks a little paler and more transparent than you remember him, but this is unmistakably the ghost of your late father. He is dressed in full armour and looks a little bit peeved, just as you would if you were dead.
> look
Balcony
You are on the palace balcony. Bats are flapping around in the twilight. Miles and miles of crinkly Danish countryside stretch out below you.
A ghost is here.
An exit leads south.
> grab a bat
You manage to grab one of the bats. Then – ouch! The blighter bit you! You teach it a lesson by bashing its little head in.
Alarmed, all the other bats flutter away.
what happened to the assignment you promised us?? lol
Patience, my dear!
You want something fun to try… for homework? Check out the online game of Hamlet at this website..

You have to direct Hamlet to do things. Type in directions or orders, like east or speak and see what you discover!
Happy?! 😛
