Don't you have the hint book you get with the lost treasures?  It has all the
hints you need and then some.

You could always save and then try different things with the cakes.

To defeat the big mean guard at the end you should be at full health and have
lots of ammunition.  There is a secret room to help you out.  Personally,
I coaxed the guard into the secret room and picked up first-aid kits
while I shot him (and he shot me).

Anyone else have problems with losing the mouse pointer or the game hanging.
I talked to the technical support and they said that the game doesn't like
QEMM 6.01  (and / or Smartdrv).  Just wondering if I am alone in this ,
I do play the game by disabling QEMM but it will still hand periodically.

Hi Gameplayers,

I just purchased Hardball III and the game is great! The speech is a little
"broken-up", but still quite understandable.
I was wondering if anyone knew of an FTP site where I could find some data
files to be used with HB3? Anyone know where I can find data files for
actual teams of 1992 or even 1991? Is anything else available out there such
as patches, unprotects, utilities?

If you have something which is not available at an FTP site, could you send
me a copy?

Thanks in advance!!!

Anybody else tried the shareware game
at ftp.ulowell.edu (or was in wuarchive.wustl.edu ?) in the games/misc
directory called Aquanoid?

It's a GREAT Arkanoid clone!!

The problem... The instructions are in German (or Polish)
any body able to translate this to English?

I can play the game, but in the instructions it says 
[CHEAT}
and I would like to know what the cheat is (if it is a cheat)



Also,

has anybody gotten Fishtro (ulowell graphics/demos/eurodemos/)
to work with their Soundblaster? when I try it it just locks
up. The graphics work if I pick no sound.
I've tried picking a different IRQ number and address (220h).
No luck.

Anybody?

I have a game for my Amiga called "Goblins" and I am stuck on one screen in
the basement of the wizards cottage. It is the room with inside it a mask,
a monster and a coffin which releases a mummy when magic is used on it.
I have worked out you have to magic the coffin to release the mummy, and let
it walk down to scare the monster, but I cant work out how to get out of
the way of the mummy. Any help to get past this room would be much
appreciated.

Anyone know what a 'Sphere of Annihilation' does?  I've
tried using it, but that doesn't work.  Should I throw
it at an enemy, or something?
BTW, I'm almost finished with the game (mapping level 7),
and I was just curious about it.

A handy tip -- there is a cheat file called UUSATRN that
gives you unlimited health and magic -- even on level 7
when you shouldn't have any.  It's kind of funny, actually
when the blue vial indicating mana just drains, but you
click on it and it says you have 255 out of 0 mana.

You can also get to the "secret" level from level 1. In the room where there
is the elevator to level 2, search on the right wall for a secret door.
Inside the space opened by this secret door, you will find another, and then
another. In that room, you will find an elevator to Level 10.

Take the advertisement paper from Captain Kate and put it over
your picture at Phatt Island. Kate will be arrested, so you can
go to the prison and take her 'near-o-grog'. Then go to the

use mug with tree (near the back wall) and fill it with near-o-grog.

one question which I could use some help with.

I'm playing a strange character.  He is a fighter with theif and magic
skills.  I've found the weaponsmaster and have become a rather good
fighter.  I've found the theive's guild and become a rather good theif.
I've found the magician [the one on the mountain top] and am stuck
because I don't have a spell book.  Any suggestions on how to get my
first spell book or spell would be appreciated.

There's a new VR arcade system that might pique someone's
interest.  I don't know the name, but it costs about
$35,000.  Once you buy it, you then buy software
games for it.  The first game to be released for it
will be WOLFENSTEIN -- a take off of Wolfenstein - 3D.

Now we'll have to put off buying that '586.  }9-D

i am seeking a patch for wolf3d which modifies game play.
the game then plays with no brown soldiers (ie. all SS).
if anyone is familiar with a site at which this patch may
be obtained or the exact file name it is stored under, i
would appreciate your letting me know...

the way to get there is in the last room on level 9.  when you enter the
room, turn immediately to the right.  there is a secret panel on the wall you
are facing.  after you open that secret passage and get the goody to the
left, there is another secret passage on the right as you entered the secret
room.

Hi Gamers,

Need help with HUGO III.  Where is the "book of spells", it is suppose to be
located on one of the paths in the jungle. Can't find it yet.

Thanks,

Actually, as I recall it, the Old Man gives you experience points for
killing Brilhasti as long as there is one member of the party who
*hasn't* killed him previously and then does.  I made a new party
member each time, keeping all my other characters (save 1), and killed
Brilhasti again.  The Old Man then gave us all the ton of XP.  I then
disposed of the "new" member and created another new character to take
his place, and went off and killed Brilhasti yet again.  By the
time I had done this many, many times, I had characters whose levels
exceeded 100.  The rest of the game was then a snap... cheap and
tawdry, yes, but after BT II I was disappointed in Interplay anyway.

Does anyone know of an FTP site from which I could obtain a utility to take a
big file, say 3 Mb, and split it over a bunch of 720 Kb disks, and then restore
It onto a hard drive?
        Thanx,

If you're willing to put the time and effort into it, first of all I think that
it's a great idea as long as only a description of the game's quality is given
(ie. no hints or the like), and second of all I think that many people would be
willing to contribute, and of course toread such a list.  I know I would.
