Me again.

I'm looking for a wide range of Amiga games -- many of them older                     
titles -- and am willing to trade any of the IBM, Amiga or Genesis                     
titles below in exchange for them. (The IBM list in particular is          
vastly expanded since last time.)

Many of you have asked for my "wants" list. I do have one, but it's 
huge and constantly in flux, so I'm no longer posting it. Put it this 
way: I'm basically interested in anything I haven't seen, so send your 
lists of Amiga games to Peteroo@cup.portal.com.



Please note that a number of these games are also for sale -- price        
negotiable -- and that I'm also looking for a number of IBM games.

An earlier post said that the latest version of Underworld is ver 1.51s
where the inventory-bug should have been fixed. Have they fixed anything
else, ie Thunderboard/speech problem ? 

I've got the UWFIX.ZIP with  UW.EXE 92-04-14 14.52.
Does this fix upgrade my old UW ( must be ver 1.0 since I bought it
only two days after it was released ) to 1.51s or is there more to it ?
If so how do I upgrade to the latest version ? Is there a fix or do I 
have to send my first UW-disk (or all?) oversea for replacement ( for free?) ? 

Thanks.

My copy came with Barton Creek as well as Harbor Town (a special deal for
ordering from Access before August sometime).  The greens are tricky
to read using just the superimposed grid, however, if you press the profile
button, or have the display configured to always show the shot profile, you
get a two dimensional view from the side showing the elevation from the ball
to the hole.  It tells you distance as well as elevation of the cup relative
to the ball. This profile view is available at all times - not just on the
green.  Unfortunately its not very helpful in spotting breaks on the green.
I seem to be getting better at reading the 3-D grid on the green, but am 
doubtful that I will ever get to the point where I can consistantly read them
correctly.  I guess its a matter of getting better at reading the grid, and
learning the greens over time with multiple plays.  Although I don't play 
real golf, but I will hazard a guess that this situation is not radically 
different than in real life (i.e. can the Pros always read a green correctly 
the first time played?).  Personally I am find chipping to be more difficult
than putting right now.  While learning, my friends and I play that mulligans
are allowed at any time, but count 1/2 stroke.

  I had the same problem. Make sure that all of the appropriate files
are in the HANGAR directory and put the rest in your SWOTL directory. Next,
edit your SMCONFIG.BAT (I think this is the correct name - its config
something or other). You will find that the config file has a couple
of PATH statements which tell the program to look for its files in
\games\swotl and \games\swotl\hangar. I don't use a "games" subdirectory
so I changed these to \swotl and \swotl\hangar. Edit yours appropriately
and you should be off and running.

The sum of my two-player experience has been playing via a Novell IPX
connection or the Direct Connection mode.  A friend and I had to wait
for patch C before the connections would be made.  For the most part,
connections made over the network at stable.  The Direct Connect gave
us a bit of trouble.  We found we were unable to run speeds higher
than 9600.  We do have intermittent problems ending missons but other
wise its fine.  Anyway, all this seems to indicate that at Falcon's
modem interface and not the basic communications engine is still
screwed up.

Just thought I'd let you know *something* works.

Warlords is a 8 player war game.  The computer can play any of the eight
positions.  The game world is a fantasy setting with Heros and dragons
and such.  It is not a shareware game, you can pick it up mail order for
under $30.

IMHO the graphics are poor.  There is little sound and there is no sound
board support.  However the game is a lot of fun, which is really the
important thing.  Each time I played it I would spend hours and hours making
moves and telling myself, "just one more move, then I'll save and stop".

As with most stratigy games, the AI is not good.  I was able to beat the game
at the warlord level playing the Sirians without using any heros.

Chips and Bits is advertising Warlords II for $42, does anyone know when the
release date is? and what the new features are going to be?

There is a bug in v1.1 of the trilogy and hexology that prevents the elevator

First, once you get to the tent area of the desert, if the people are there go 
away and try again later (I think - don't quote me on that part.) What you have
to do is go into the little tent, walk VERY CAREFULLY (use the keyboard) around
the sleeping guy, and get the stick from the back of the tent. Then leave (get
a drink of water first - you'll need it.
Then you follow your map of the desert (you did make one, didn't you?) to the 
cave. Hide behind the rock until the bandits ride past, then go up to the doors
and "use" the staff on them. It will break. Don't worry. Once you are inside, 
ONLY get the urn and the coin which are by the door - don't be too greedy or 
you will get trapped.
I guess that answered your second question too!
