I'm surprised at this. Do people in general consider the game difficult? 
I had no problems with finishing it. Maybe it was easier because my system is 
slow, a 386sx-16?

BTW, the box says it has 19 missions, I only got nine. Do you get the other
missions if you fail or what? Also an extra missions disk was mentioned, does
anyone know when that'll be available?

	Earlier on I heard about an improved CIV advancement chart.  Could
someone please tell me where I can get it?  I didn't like the one in the
manual too much.

	Also, just a question of interest:  does anyone know the difference
between v3 and v4?  What has the v4 update.exe done?  And, what is the meaning
of the .cmp extension to update.cmp?  It was not in my MS-DOS manual.

	Thanks in advance for your help.

	Hi, I'm looking for the source code for StickFighter II.

	I don't know if the author, Gary Shaw, has net access, or if he
	reads this group or not, but I was hoping he could send me the source
	code for his great little game. If anyone knows how I could get in
	touch with him, then that info (actually, any info) would be good.

	I originally posted this on alt.sf2, but all I got was a request to
	forward the code onto another person. So the interest is there....

	The original game is great fun, better than characters-too-small
	voilent fighter and buggy street fighter rip-offs/demos.

For those of you who missed it (not likely given the past use), the

This is a collection of most of the mail and news traffic I have seen

temporary and was setup to help me write "The USENET Guide to Falcon

Hi!
I'm a big fan of LEMMINGS , and I have finished Lemmings 1 and part of Oh , no , more lemmings !
A few time ago I have got Xmas Lemmings , but I cannot get past Level 4 (It's called something
like 'This corrosion' - i'm not sure about the name).
It's really frustrating for me since I like this game a lot and I have tried this level for a 
very long time , but there is no way that I can go past it.

Could any one there please help me , please ?!?!?!?

Thanx

(By the way , I would be really grateful is somebody could mail me the answer or reply on the 
news , because , unfortunately I don't have access on the FPT since the Unix machine I'm using

Thanks again).

All right, thanks to whoever answered my previous question about
the crypt.  Made it through the skull door and am now in the
bowels of the crypt.  Specifically, I've made it to the tomb,
and called up the pretty lady.  But, well, quite simply, she
abandons me leaving me scuffing the dirt, feeling like I've
missed something.

Where are the keys??  I feel like I've been everywhere so 
either general hints or outright spoilers would be fine.

Also, when passing through the Hall of the Crusaders, I broke
down the second door after giving up on the pad.  Do I need
to take care of things in the Crypt first or in the Hall??
I really don't know what I need to do in the final stage of 
the Hall either as I don't have anything to let me in there
either.

Thanks in advance for the help.  I've enjoyed the game, but
at this point, I just want to be done.

Greetings,

  I was just at my local software store and saw Castles II.  If anyone
remembers Castles I, I liked the build your castle stuff but not much else.
It looks like the second one is a lot better, almost a cross of Castles,
Civilization, and Warlords.  Of course, that was the only impression I could
get from the back of the box.  So, could anyone post or email me a review of
this game before I go shell out $60 for it?

I really have trouble believing some of the stuff you guys come up with..
I have tried playing emporer level and I get wiped out by the grey bastards (Mongols/Indians) with the first 2000 years. The only way I have ever got further thanthis was buying every thing.. Using a civ cheat that gives 30000 cash

Any way if some one could send me a more detailed description of what I should do (I know they dont get much more detailed than some of the stuff on here but just assume I am THICK)

Also what is the settler cheat ?? and how many other cheats are there ?
I'm using version 4

Get out your hex editor (like norton's Disk Edit) , and search for the hex

Some spells and monsters age characters unnaturally.  The only way to
