Learn how to use the gun, it can do 3 things:

1: fire a shot (press the fire key and release)

2: put up a force field (stops enemy shots)
	(Press the fire key, hold breifly -- until a small ball forms,
		then release the fire key)

3: shoot a _big_ shot (blows up locked doors, destorys most force fields)
	(Press the fire key, hold until a large ball forms and it starts
		humming, then release the fire key)

Note: that at the start your gun is almost out so doing much of this will
	empty your gun.

    Forgive me for being naive, but unless you are going to write an

hello,

I have played Spear of Destiny.  It is a "Wolfenstein Adventure".  It does
NOT appear to be an add-on, but rather a separate adventure.  Basically, 
you're in a tower with 18 or 19 floors.  The game looks A LOT like Wolf3D.
It is A LOT harder tho'.  You can find the gatling gun on the 1st floor.
there are about a gillion bad guys as you get off the elevator on the second
floor.  That's all I remember about it.

I will agree with Mike here.  After hearing all about the hacked versions
of PKZIP/UNZIP, beginning with 1.2 back in mid-1990 (that one was actually
a trojan horse), and now with 1.93 alpha and 2.0 hacked, I am damned if I
will download a green program such as that which has been known to cause
damage to files and disks.  Please, people, I know PKZIP 1.93 is supposed to
be a better compressor (at least it should be!), but if you want better
compression, then please use an alternative program such as LHA or ARJ, both
of which give better compression than PKZIP 1.10.  And they WORK!  And they
are official versions, not alpha versions (which are even worse than beta!)

Sorry for taking up bandwidth with this, but I felt this was VERY important.
I don't want anyone else to suffer any more than I want myself to.

thanks,
-Mike

P.S.  Totally unrelated, but a true games question.  Anyone know when the

Well, NeverLock does it, but you ll have to register it.
I found NeverLock as nev-0292.zip , nev-0692.zip (the latter is newer
apparently) in /pub/msdos/romulus/cracks directory of cs.uwp.edu
It has a doc file explaining how you can register it. The shareware
version only cracks a limmited number of games. What you need is
the register bussiness version.
Hope this helps.

To my knowledge, it has been out of production for

  Also, I'd like to know if anyone has and wants to sell a

Well, I think it depends upon what type of game you like.  Personally I am
a fantasy buff, although I do occasionally get sidetracked by something
really nice, like Wolfenstein 3-D and the new one, Spear of Destiny.
(there are two high recommendations there).

If you want smooth graphics, Apogee has some nice stuff out, although most of
them are in EGA or VGA.  Still, the scrolling is incredible, and the story
lines are pretty good.  The 256 color games Apogee distributes (like Wolf3d)
are actually made by ID, who also distributes games to another company,
Gamer's Edge (who distributed Keen Dreams, BTW).
As for commercial games, I like LucasArts stuff, like Indiana Jones and the
Fate of Atlantis.  Origin puts out superb games in both the fantasy and
Sci-Fi genre, such as the Ultima series and the Wing Commander series.
Also, SSI puts out some awesome fantasy games (Eye of the Beholder springs
to mind), and some of their simulations are pretty good, too.

Well, that's a starter.  Anyone else can jump in any time!  My fingers
are tired!!!

I know I'm probably just bugging you guys, but I would appreciate any one's
input.  I just bought a 486/33 SVGA computer.  I've never had a PC before and
all of my gaming has been on game machines.

The question:  What are some of the BEST, HIGH-QUALITY, SUPERIOR-GRAPHIC games
for PC's?  Also, are these games people have from the FTP sites SHAREWARE?

Thanks alot for anyone who replies!

WHAT????!!!!
Let me tell you, I've been on lists for about, oh... a month now, and the thing
I enjoy most are HEATED FLAMES, VEHEMENT EXCHANGES, STRONG OPINIONS, AND
GOOD OLD FASHIONED ARGUING!!!!!!!

Not that I try to incite that kind of crap, it's just that, hey, if I get an
oportunity to really flame someone, I mean REALLY flame someone, I'm gonna
sieze the moment! I mean, how many times can you do that? I'm STILL pissed off
about this chain letter garbage, and boy, I think the only way a greenthumb
learns is by making mistakes, and being flamed. That's how I learned, and do I
seem warped at all by it? (DON'T answer that...) Also, on a different note,
what's this: ;) ? Smiley faces can serve a valuable purpose in relaying emotion
on a medium where you can't see someone's face, but ;) ? What does that mean?
Looks like a satanic smiley face to me, either that or one who's crying upside
down or something, and its got no nose! A smiley face should at least be
comprehendable by the reader. Anyway, I've gotta take my medicine now. 8^O

All a hacker needs is a tight PUSHJ, a loose pair of UUOs, and a warm
place to shift.
