Hi,
In case you can't find the crack, here's another relatively painless way.
If you notice, WC doc look up scheme is very repetitive. There are only about
6 or 7 different questions, and they repeat. These are :
Safe speed in asteroid, age of Maniac, front armor of the Ralathi, max range
of mass driver cannon, esk rating of ff missile... What I did was wrote
them on a little piece of paper and putaway the manual, and if you play
them long enough, I bet you'll memorize these numbers. 

Hope that helps.

1) Search the trench coat and get the book card 
2) Give the card to the librarian and get the book she specifies

Hi,
   I got this game a couple of weeks ago and it is great, especially in
the 3 player mode- good way to get back at brothers, cousins, etc.
Anyway, I have been playing the one-player mode lately and finally beat
the game on "Easy" level.  Has anyone beat this on any level higher than
"Easy"?  I had enough trouble with that last level where you are on an
island and have only 2 castles because of all of the ships that surround
the island in no time.

and a popcorn bomb.  The popcorn bomb works like the funky bomb
but is more violent.  However, I have not been able to destroy
anything with the plasma lasers.  Perhaps the plasma lasers are
included with the version of the game that allows you to buy dud
weapons.  I still haven't found out how to edit the save files to

All of Apogee's stuff comes in three parts.  Only the first part is shareware,
since most people don't bother to pay for them.  If you want to play the
others, you need to order them from Apogee with the order forms that come with
the first part.

   I ran into a problem with DOS 5.0 recently.  I could not get F15 Strike 
Eagle II to run to completion.  Everything would be fine until I started a 
mission.  About 20 seconds into a mission it would end, now warning, no 
error messages and it didn't lock up my machine.  It just ended!  Well, I 
experimented with different configuration options on the game and finally 
found that it could not run with DOS 5.0 in the high memory.  If I do not load
DOS 5.0 high, everything works great!  I wouldn't think that there should be 
a difference between DOS loaded low or high.  Could this be a bug in DOS?

I don't think the judge would throw it out.  Isn't this a "Contract
of Adhesion" ?  The analogy that I learned it as (from a computer
science department lawyer/professor) compares it to a parking garage
card.

When you pull into the parking garage, you get a little ticket which
says "This contract limits our liability....."  Presumably, if you take
the ticket, you agree to the contract (whether or not you actually
read it).  The same would apply to the license.

According to the "Installation and Instructions" card, p, 2:

"Darklands requires at least a 12 MHz 80286 ("AT") IBM-compatible computer.
An 80386 or better, running at 20 MHz or faster, is strongly
recommended.

It requires 595,000 bytes (581 K) of free RAM, and 64K of EMS.

It requires about 17,500,000 bytes of disk space, including temporary
files and some saved games.

It requires VGA w/ 256 colors.

It requires a mouse.

If you are talking about the one that has two doors that automatically
open to let you *in*, and then 3 levers to operate the prison doors, then
here is how I got out:

SPOILER follows-----------------















































I used a "mark" spell on one of the rune stones before I entered, and then
used a "recall" to get out.  Of course the first time I entered I got stuck,
just like you, so I had to load a previously saved game -- which luckily was
just before I left the "Guardian's throne room".  If you do not have any
saved games that are not too far back, then I can't help you.

If you find out another way, could you forward it to me
(emily@azariah.tamu.edu)?  I am curious to know if there is a
more straight forward way of exiting this area.

Good luck,

Emily

There's still another problem. When you buy a new train, the "Train
Type" will automatically be set to "Local". You must set it to a higher
speed, e.g. "Limited". Then the train will only stop at the stations
listed under "Scheduled Stops" and it will also keep coal if you like
that (depends on the "New Consist").

	If I remember correctly it was Origin, and Steve Jackson had a large
hand in it...
