Hi guys,
        If anyone DOES find that phone number for the beta of 2.1, please, oh
please, send/e-mail it to me with whatever steps necessary to get it.

        I also have a trident video card (1mb).  If anyone can tell me where
to get the OS/2 driver for this, I'd be very appreciative!! (I've already
contacted Bob about this as well)

Happy new years!
Dave

Anyway, I'm sorry if this is already posted, but does anyone have all of the
moves for Mortal Kombat? If so, please send a list to ST000069@BROWNVM.BROWN.EDU
Reply won't work, as the list would then go to my friend who so graciously let

Many people are posting about this level.

I will tell everyone how I solved it (I'm sure there are other ways).

cut the strings on the 2 balloons on the far left.
use one seesaw on the right with one pulley and 2 ropes
to shoot the 2 right guns.

use 2 seesaws,1 pulley, and 3 ropes on the right to 
shoot off the 3 guns on the right.

I am writing this from memory (I'm on level fifty something)
so this may be too vague.
If you need more help, post or e-mail.

Hi. I am just beginning Ultima 6 and am having trouble understanding the changes
made in the magic system. How do you use the spell books? Why do the numbers by
the spells decrease? I assume you can only use them that number of times, but
how do you use the reagents? Is there a way to cast spells without spell books?
Do you have to buy a spell for every time you want to use it? Thanks in 
advance...

  Just out of curiosity, do these disks have the original Sierra labels on

YOU'VE BEEN HAD!!!
  There are lots of pirate software retailers that claim to sell programs
legitimately.  There used to be one up in Canada that sold the disks at
$5.00 per, but charge $1.00 extra per page for the (xeroxed) manual.  This
was big time illegal, so they shut it down.
  If you've been had, you'd better report them to the authorities.  You
never know, ya might get a reward...

Yep there is a sequel to out of this world (look on the boards: previews

The game looks very good. As far as I know the gameplay has gotten a little
easier, and the animation of your (vector-graph) character is absolutely
astonishing.

I believe I've managed to find all the items and I've thwarted the
Zombies and the Wolf type things. At 1.4 meg HD space, I thought there
might be more rooms to find.

I think I shall buy this game. Alone in the Dark owners, are you pleased

From:         Mike Perry <KYL118@URIACC.URI.EDU>

I have a few questions about Star Control II.

        1.  I found out about a Shofixti pilot who survived the war from a Meln
orme merchant at Alpha Centauri.  All attempts to get this pilot to join me hae
 failed.  I have tried all the possible initial responses when I first meet him
 and when I go into combat and try to retreat like the Melnorme suggested I don
't know how to end the combat.

        2.  The VUX admiral ZEX at Alpha Cerenkov told me he had some Shofixti
females and would give them to me if I brought him a creature.  The clue he gav
e me about the "snake-like creature who swallowed the elephantine beast" led me
 to the constellation Serpentis.  The yellow star mentioned in the clue led me
to Gamma Serpentis which just happens to be the home system of the Yehat, a
former ally turned Ur-quan combat thrall.  The only inhabited world in that sys
tem is the homeworld which leads me to believe that the creature I am to
get is the Yehat queen.  How do I get this creature or am I wrong in my conclus
ion?

        3.  The Zoq-Fot-Pik gave me a clue as to the source of the Slylandro
probes.  I have searched in all systems indicated by this clue and haven't foun
d it.  Could somebody please clarify the Zoq-Fot-Pik's clue?  They say that the
 source of the probes lies on a line which includes their homeworld and Epsilon
Muscae.  Is it inbetween those two worlds or one the other side of one of them?
Any help, as specific as desired, will be appreciated.  (Actually I don't mind
dealing with the probes, since they are an easy 550 RU, but I will have to deal
with them more permanently in the future.)

Shadowgate...I own a very old copy of Shadowgate for the Mac...do you mean to

As for the dragon, do you mean the one in the lair that fries you every time

        To make a long story short, (K)limb over the rocks (Yes, you can
do that) and press on the different sections of wall until a passage opens
to the south.  This is another case where the interface interfears with
the game play.

        If you need any help with this or any other Ultima game beyond II,
please write.

Hmmm...

Well, I downloaded PKZ204C and ran it (it's self-extracting), then ran
PKZIP.EXE and my Norton Anti-Virus TSR didn't catch anything, but when I
ran a manual scan it detected the virus. Either your scanner can not
detect this virus or my scanner gave a false report. Will we ever know...

Greetings everybody...

	To all the people who replied me about my earlier posting regarding
this program, I'm afraid I have no news about it. Since it was removed from
the net and I have not seen any copies floating about, I am making an
assumption that it is pirated. If not, I beg whoever has knowledge of it to
spare a moment and share the info. or the program even (!) with the numerous
users who are looking for it. I am dying to go up against my friend on this
game.... :-)

	Thanx for any help... and as for anyone else who's interested in
MultiPlayer Civ, e-mail me and I will share with you any info as I receive it.


	HAPPY NEW YEAR!!! (a little belated but well-meant nonetheless...)



	Jayan.
