Mini-Zork

I just wish I had a walk-through guide! I'm not a huge fan of games I can't figure out on my own, unless there's a walk-through guide I can have handy. Bur I can't find one easily on the internet although I'm still looking.. Right now I'm stuck at ten points, and am inside the house with bunch of stuff in my inventory (too much to pick up the sword - should I drop stuff? How do I know I don't need something else? I don't like making these decisions..) and can't figure out how to either go down te chimney or to open the gate. I have a rope, I could tie it to something to olwer myself down the chimney.. but it doesn't seem to like that idea. Someone has a jeweled egg and some have found and been killed by.. whoever.. but I am just stuck about what to do myself right now.

I think this definitely fits into my definition of a videogame.
