Zorro (Commodore 64 game)
Written by The Tap Dance Kid
First off alot of these cracks seem to have alot of errors in them but thats not my problem. Find a good copy. Also you might want to use the cheat version of this game since you will probably screw up alot.
The first thing that you need to do when you start is get your girlfriend's handkerchief which will land on the end of the well. just climb the vine and get it. Next climb down the ladder and get to the edge of the landing. You'll see 3 balls bobbing in the water. You have to get to the first ball so jump and get onto it. Once on, push the joystick down so that you can move to the right side of the ball. Then jump up onto the handrail and move to the other side. Now jump down to the third ball on the right (this is a bitch), and get onto the bottom right hand side of the screen . Now go onto the next screen and get to the bottom where there will be a hole. Go down the hole and get the plant at the bottom of the screen. Carry the plant back up to the screen above you. Go up to the ball at the top of the screen and push it. When it stops moving, put Zorro and the plant on the scale and wait till the ball raises the gate and you get your extra points. Now the fun part! Do everything again back- wards and get back out of the well. Now go to the next screen and skip it, going onto the next one. Climb the tree and get the boot. Now go to the next screen and get the key and stick it on the right side of the couch. Climb the ladder and when you jump on the couch you must get the key. Carry the key to the next screen (screen with graveyard) and jump to the top of the building and back onto the last screen where you got the key and open the door. Now go to the painting and behind the painting is a bottle. Get the bottle and carry it to the bottom of the screen and give it to the bartender on the next screen (you go left at the bottom) and he will pass out. Jump on his stomach and get to the top of the screen where you can fight the guard. DON'T KILL HIM, just force him so that he falls off onto the chandilier (Did I spell that right?). Now climb down the ladder and get the wine glass at the bottom. Climb back out and go get the key again and open up the door and now there will be a branding iron instead of the bottle. Take the branding iron to the very first screen with the gell, and get Zorro to the top. Then go to the right and fall off to the bottom of the screen (you are on the screen with the cow now). Stick the iron in the forge and jump up and down on the air cusion till the iron turns red. Now get the iron and stick it into the cow before it cools. Now climb to the top of the screen and cross on the handrail, fall to the bottom of the screen and get the horseshoe. Now repeat getting the key and opening the door where there will be a bell (I know this is a pain in the ass but it must be done!). Now go to the church (build ing next to the graveyard) and stick the bell in the belltower. Now go get the key again (*sigh*), open the door, and get the second bell and stick it in the belltower. Now climb the ladder that appeared while you hung the bells and then get all the money in the money bag. Now keep following the bags of money until you come to a room where there is a ladder going up blocked by three pictures of the horse- shoe, cup, and boot. Go up the ladder and then you are in the prison. Free all the prisoners without getting shot. Then climb the human staircase on the left side of the wall. Then run past the dude with the gun off to the left side of the screen. Now get the girl and YOU WIN!!!!!! (If your copy doesn't crash!)
I apologize that this was written in 40 columns however my Apple Writer bombed on me. If you have any questions, you can leave me mail on any of the boards mentioned in this Doc or lot's of others that I am on.
One thing I should say is that this game is a BITCH!

There are some comments by "A" saying that the solution on the C64 is a little bit different:
After yoy reach the girl the first time , she is pushing you away with result the loss of a life (once I avoided it but i could not repeat it).
Anyway you must go back to the locked room ,where now a flower is appearing ,go through the same repetitive procedure and get it ,and then go back to the bells-grave screen go down the stairs and repeat the exactly same course (beware the are no money bags to guide yoy, so you must already have made a sort of map the first time you got through it).
What i don't know is if, the course through the 7 underground screens is random or the same every time.
After you get to the surface you have of course to go all the way crossing the 3 screens again holding the flower in order to give it to the girl , and FINALE. (added 2006-01-17)
2007-06-03 Some more hints
The boot:
You can not get to the boot from the tree. After placing both bells in the bell towers, go back to the hotel, pickup another key, and retrieve the trumpet. Carry the trumpet to the screen with the boot, stand on the left side of the seesaw, then press fire to play the trumpet. A guard will jump off the building, land on the seesaw, and launch you up to the bar. From there you can move onto the building and climb up to the boot.
The girl and flower:
You must give a flower to the girl to win the game (and make out with her). She will push you into the water, if you try to rescue her without the flower (how ungrateful Thunderer mentioned). However, you must touch the girl to make the flower appear. You can avoid getting pushed into the water by climbing part of the way up the ladder. When you touch her, bonus points are awarded and she begins pointing to the left. The flower will appear in the locked room of the hotel (where the bottle, branding iron, bells, and trumpet were found).
Avoid retracing your steps through the underground graves:
- Before climbing up to the prison from the final grave screen (which has flashing wineglass, horseshoe, and boot), go one screen to the left using the platform with the last money bag. This will take you to the well. Push the boulders into the water, so you can use the well to return to the final graves screen.
- After touching the girl, the fastest way to the flower is to jump over the draw bridge from the 3rd floor of the fort.
