My copy of Philosopher's Quest works on an emulator ( 6502Em ) pretending
to be a Master 128. The real Master here is currently out of action so I
can't check, but it seems to work on the emulator.

Strangely, 'TAKE ' and any random two letter code takes an item from
the room until the room is empty. I'm not sure if it used to do this on
the Beeb originally.

What problems are you having? Perhaps I can try them out on mine (though
I can hardly remember how to solve most of the puzzles).
