The Feeble Files Hints

Swamp Stew

  • 1 of 5: If you get this game, start crying.  I have played this game hundreds, nay thousands, of times, and only completed it twice.  This is possibly the most difficult and annoying game in the history of arcade machines.
  • 2 of 5: However, it is still possible to win (1 in a million times).  Have you ever played 'Mastermind' ?  It's a little board game with coloured pegs and a code to crack.  It is like that, but harder.
  • 3 of 5: You have to try and deduce what is in the stew and where it goes.  Every time you enter six ingredients, a little checklist appears at the bottom.  A tick signifies an ingredient in the right place, a cross signifies one in the wrong place, and a blank square means a wrong ingredient.
  • 4 of 5: I think the best way is to fill a line with six of the same ingredient, so you can find out what ingredient is in, and how many of them there are.  This should take about four or five goes.  Then you can try to find out where they go. 
  • 5 of 5: Generally, try to avoid this game.
