I uploaded the VGA-shareware-game Quest II to wuarchive.wustl.edu into the  
directory pub/MSDOS_UPLOADS (filename quest2.zip).

Because it is my first released shareware-program, I am interested in your  
opinion and comments about the game.

So, PLEASE download it, try it, spread it, enjoy it and MAIL me your  
comments !

Awaiting lots of mails !

First I would like to thank all the ones who responded in saying that Cshow

Know I have a question to ask; how do you get the gif graphics to be shown

This is true.  I just wanted a couple simple hints for Commander Keen and I
check this board in vain each day hoping someone would be nice enough to 
reply.  Instead, all I see is a bunch of geeks arguing about nothing in
particular.  I'm new to computer gaming and I am willing to help with hints
and cheats when I find them, but it seems no one else is as of late.

> I was just so f****ing angry!

*sigh*  Those you are addressing won't hear, so why bother wasting your 
computer time(or worse yet, costly $$$ using a modem) and everyone's 
bandwidth?  Those who do it for profit do hurt us, but I think that's 
different from what people are discussing here.

You can buy a CD, tape it to your tastes, and let you friends listen to it.
That is different from buying a CD, taping it(especially on one of those
high quality tapes made for CD taping(!) ), and then selling the tape to 
someone.  That is infringement on the Copyright Act(1976).  But you can take
any property you own and do whatever the hell you want with it, as long as you
don't make a profit at the creator's expense.

Maybe ...
	I have a GW2000 486dx2/66 vesa local bus.  When I turn the turbo mode
off, my test programs tell me it is running at about the speed of a 486sx-25.
That is too fast for several games that I have now  (for example, the CD-ROM
version of Wing Commander I, which will not run under windoze so I can't use
that to slow it down.)  You may want to loos for a system that can be slowed 
down substantially for old games.

	I also recommend a machine with SVGA (the golf courses in links386 pro
are gorgeous.

   First point:  many people (especially smart-a** kids) like to crack into
copy-protected games to see if it can be done.  I did this for quite a few
years on my Apple.  You learn an awful lot by "hacking" into the code
somebody wrote to prevent copying of a disk.  (disclaimer: I did NOT
give out copies of the programs I cracked, I did it for my own personal
reasons, as enumerated above.)

   Second point: My brother owns a Nintendo, a Super NES and a SEGA Genesis.
The games for those systems are so simple he beats them in a day or two.
The damn cartridges cost $50+ apiece, and they are rather simplistic games
besides.  A real game can only be written on a real computer, where the
number of bytes available is not limited to what Sega or Nintendo will
give you on the Cartridge.  Ok, I'll get off my soapbox.

Hi,I am playing violent fighter right now, and I do know the basic movements,
such as walk,kick,punch,jump. But seems to me, each character must have some
special movements, as computer controled ones can always do. Can anyone tell me
what are the key combinations for the special movements?? Thanx.

I've heard from everyone the big and great difference in running UW and
Wolf on a 486 system instead of 386; 486 allows smooth flow.  Anyone know
how well a 486sx-25 would move games along?
And would a 13ms IDE hard drive with local bus IDE interface make a
difference?

Would a windows accelerated video with 1mb DRAM make games move faster. or
do window accelerators just effect windows?

Are you on crack, dude? The graphics for Lakers vs. Celtics for DOS are
terrible EGA!
TV Sports Basketball is a much better , but to be honest, there is no
really good basketball game out for DOS.
LOOK OUT FOR MICHAEL JORDAN FLIGHT Basketball! It's coming out soon
from EA. Should be REALLY GOOD!

People who like action and lots of it, will like this.  It's a game
that is quite like the videogame Robotron, but you can get power-ups and
such.  Great use of Soundblaster also!

Pick it up at /pub/MSDOS_UPLOADS/llama.zip at wuarchive.wustl.edu

Subject:      Sale of tape drive to backup games

  Now isn't that SUBJECT a stretch?

  You might have seen that I had a kaput hard drive.   And need money to get a
new one.  The last item I can possibly sell is a just-over-one-year internal
tape drive.  This is in great condition.  It includes docs, software (for
backup), mount (so it will fit where a normal hard drive would), box.  It is
the 120/250 QIC model.  That means up to 120 meg or 250 in compressed mode.
It uses standard QIC 80 or 120 tapes.  Just think.  One of those tapes runs
around $20-25 and think how much 80 3.5" disks would cost....

I will be on vacation til Jan. 5th.  Post me a note if you are interested.

THANKS!            Regards, M&M's  (millerm@uwwvax.uww.edu)

Subject:      ROBIN HOOD PUZZLE BOX

Hi, I just got the game "The Legend of Robin Hood" and I was wondering if any
one could help me.

What word unlocks the puzzle box? These are the letters:

RNAMFIOBESDLTGC

Thanks, Denise

I just purchased SIMANT and have tried to play a complete game twice now.  Both
times the game aborted with a message:

	FATAL ERROR ABORT MORE THAN 100 LOCKS


Any idea what this message means?  Are there any patches out there for this game?

Also I am playing on a 486-33 with 8Megs memory, EMM386, NDOS, and NCACHE.

Thanks in advance,
Rob

Zaki:
        About the wand, it's not used till almost the end of the game.
You will know when you should use it because it's the only item
the game allows you to use in that particular place.
        As further help, you have to use it along with another wand
you will also get later.
        If you still can't find the solution, e-mail me and I will
gladly help you with any questions about this game.
                                Mike
