The Guild of Thieves (Magnetic Scrolls) - Scoring system?

Hi everybody. I’m at 497/501 points at the end of this game sitting in the boat and I don’t know what I’ve missed. I think I got all the treasure items. Is there any way to unravel the scoring system and see what I’ve missed?
I’ve dumped all the items I have collected near the boat but there’s a few more scattered across the game that I discarded as I no longer needed them.

Here, bramble bushes and weeds that constantly tug and tear at your ankles have run amok. This type of foliage continues to the west and north but becomes stronger to the southwest, forming a copse. To the east is the rickety old jetty and a wheatfield lies to the south.
There is a swag bag, a silver plectrum, a tub, a key, a platinum chalice, a fossil, an oil painting, a red bottle, a ruby, a china pot, a platinum brooch, a designer dress, a needle, some cotton, a cue, a diamond ring, a plastic bag, an incense burner, a skull, a statuette, some succulents, a gem, a cube, an ivory rhinoceros, some chips of mineral, a horseshoe and a white here.

A search for a walkthrough gives a couple of hits (here, here and here). Unfortunately none of them, as far as I can see, have a scoring summary. You are left with sifting through them to see what you missed, I’m afraid.

The Strand Games (are they still around?) GitLab repository may hold some clues, though I could never figure out what was old, what was new, and what was modified there. Either way, mscrolls/src/guild/last/score.asm · master · strandgames / brahman · GitLab has what looks like a list that adds up to 501 points. But I haven’t played the game in ages, so it means little to me.

Edit: I guess they still are around. I just couldn’t access their web site when I first wrote this post.

There is some info on the guild page and the original game hints.

Ive been wondering how youre 4 points short, since there is no score worth 4?

Ah, that’s exactly what I’m looking for, thanks, but it still doesn’t really add up. If there’s one point for winning the games, then I am still 3 points short and there’s nothing on the list worth 3 points… very odd.
Anyway, something must have gone awry and I’m not going through it all again!

Finishing is apparently 1 but there is also nothing worth 3 points so it’s still an impossible score!

What version are you playing. Is it an original or an emulated one. Or the remaster?

It’s the story files via the Magnetic interpreter. Don’t think it’s a remaster of any sort. Thanks.

I don’t know if some versions were buggy. Or maybe there was a way to lose points. I will have a look at the code later to investigate.

In any case, may i offer you a free copy of Jinxter remastered as compensation?
