It's down there.  Should be available to you since the character has read the
microfiche.  One thing that really bothers me about this game is the small
things like the bulge in the coat pocket and the hairpin.  They are incredibly
easy to overlook.  AE

Some evil person gave me Prince of Persia V1.3.

I am now stuck on Level 12.  I can climb all the up the towers, and
find my ghost, which either kills me, or if I kill him, I die anyway.

Even if I could figure out what to do with him, there are no doors
around there.

The level seems to have no exit.

What am I missing?

Please email, as I don't read this group.

   The red ring is inside the last dungeon.  Exactly where, I don't remember,
but you will have to start your quest into the last dungeon to get this ring.

   Good luck!

I am having an installation problem with King's Quest V, the VGA version.
I formerly installed the game on my HP Vectra 386 with no problem.  I
had taken the game off the machine for a while and when I tried to install
it again, the installation failed with a message that the hard drive did
not have 9.7 Meg available.  The drive in fact has about 33 Meg free.  I
tried stripping out most everything in the CONFIG.SYS and AUTOEXEC.BAT
files with no success.

As a check I tried installing with the same disks on another machine
and it worked without a hitch.  Anyone have an idea what is going on?

	MechWar is a straight conversion of the Battletech boardgame onto the computer.
It plays like a wargame (i.e. hex map on which you move your pieces
(Battlemechs) around shooting things) and allows you to:

	1) Design your own mechs
	2) Design your own maps
	3) Design your own conflicts (scenarios)
	4) Design your own mechwarriors (pilots)

	The game was initially released as a beta version which had quite a few bugs. 
Most of them are fixed and the initial completed version is still on
wuarchive.wustl.edu I believe as mech101.zip.  

	The next version with more bug fixes and more stuff is due to be released soon,
with the announcement probably being made on rec.games.board.  There is also a
mailing list for the discussion of this game (email me if you're interested). 
The designer is very interested in getting feedback on his game, so if you play
it feel free to email him with comments.

	The designer is

Go for the 100. Different monsters have different susceptibility to
kurijutsu. Just because you are getting critical hits 3/4 the time
now does not mean that will happen when you meet a whole new set
of monsters in another area. I have noticed that the more powerful
monsters are more susceptable than the lesser monsters.

I have a copy of PC Stratego, and like another poster I was able to beat
it rather easily at its highest setting.  That was my first game.  The
second time I played, I forgot to set the highest level of play, so it
was playing at idiot level and it won!  Now either they got the settings
backward, or I was done in by overconfidence.  One of the most charming
aspects of Stratego is just that -- you can sometimes win a lost game
because your opponent got too smug.  I haven't played it for a long time
because when I have the time I tend to play civ.  I'll get back to it

BTW, I downloaded a WOLFEDIT file that allows me to change around the

A friend of mine had some explicit pictures of some women, but the wolfedit
program only allowed me to center in a certain section, so I got their faces,
including the facial reactions and inserted them as all the different walls
in Wolfenstein.
Now it's the hall of faces, 4 different faces. Even the doors are faces.
The brown guards, (if you can look at them standing still) have cute little
pastel hats and the Big Guten Tag guy, when running after you, seems normal
until he fires, then he changes into a small little brown soldier, but he
still packs some power.
I'm not sure if I send the program through e-mail or bitnet that all the 
information.
But if anyone wants a copy of it, (It's only one file...VSWAP.WL1) just ask
and if possilbe, I send it through E-mail.
Make sure you make a backup of your VSWAP.WL1 file so you won't lose the
original walls, but once you put this file in and load up the game, I gurantee
you will smiling.
