Well...it's like this....I just got the game a few days ago and I'm already
a bit stuck for right now....please try not to give away absolute spoilers
unless necessary, and please email replys to ford@wpi.wpi.edu as I do not
reguarlly read this (only when a bit&# of a game comes out :) 

(possible spoilers to follow, not likely tho' :)


















Ok...(sorry, don't know how to insert a page mark. :)

1. I'm at 8th lvl mostly now, and I haven't figured out how to get by the
orchids to the west of Newcity.  Have I missed something or is some spell
I might have passed by?

2. In the Forbidden Zone, how do you open the door?  It's obvious it's not
the black wafer, but hey, it's a great source of xp! :)

3. There are two detaches in town, the T'Rang and Umpani.  It's not possible
to get into those w/out a key right? and that key isn't in Newcity right?

4. In the Holy City of Mun....how do you open the doors to the right and left
of where you come in?  The ones with the slot and 1/2 of a copper urn under 
them?  and what is the meaning behind the little statues on the corners of the
area....noticed they are all different metals...mean anything?  And also, what
do you do with the statue in the middle of the island...showed him the Moonstone but he just smiled..*shrug*.  Last...what is the special power of that white
rubber bear you find in the city? (yeah..the holy city stumped me bad) 

5. In the Gorn castle, what EXACTALLY do you have to say to the king?  I told him "Dantaen Alligience is broken" (spelled correctlly tho') but he shruged it
off...I expected something a bit more elorbrate.  Also in the castle, in the 
bottom level, near where you get the comb/brush and mirror (what do they do?)
you find a secret door and behind it is a portuculus and a chest.  How do you open that door?

Well...that should keep you all busy...sorry to be such a PIA, please email
the response, and thanx a TON in advance.

RCSo far, the only games that I can't run under os/2 is ultima 7, Overkill,
  and Sherlock holsm CD games.

I needed to tweak games like Wolfenstein 3-D and Jill of Jungle, 
though, they just got frozen or were extremely s-l-o-w.

You start the games with 'woldf3d -goobers'.
As soon as you stand there, holding your gun and are ready to go press 
Alt+Left-Shift+Backspace. This brings the message `debugging keys available.

Curt,

The game is from a U.K. company called Empire Software.  They have
produced other titles such as Team Yankee and Pacific Islands.
Campaign is a kind of meld of these types of games and might be worth
a look.  It uses the same type of polygon graphics as used in its
predecessors.  Moderately fun, though it's not the European land war
equivalent of Pacific War.

It's a bug.  I restarted and went to the Armory before

According to a local magazine the cheat is:

    I would agree on Bane - I found it very disappointing. Excellent user
    interface, but dire game play. This is reflected in the manual, which
    has over 100 pages on the mechanics of the game, but only one page on
    the scenario. The initial castle scenario is utter tedium, the majority
    of the plotting involving finding which of a multitude of keys fit a
    multitude of doors, and wandering around a mess of twisty little
    passages all the same - b-o-o-o-ring! What really finished it for me was
    that, on getting out of the castle into the gorge and Giant Mountain
    area, and expecting some different scenery, at least, all I got was more
    twisty little passages all the same, and more flaming locked doors with
    no keys. I persevered for a few more days, but then gave up, and haven't
    felt any inclination to go back to it.
    I'm a great Might & Magic fan myself, particularly III (I haven't got
    Clouds of Xeen yet). I find the numerous mini-quests help to keep your
    interest going when you'd otherwise be stuck and not sure what to do
    next, and the game's graphics really help to promote the idea of being
    in another world: roads to travel, towns to visit, rivers to swim,
    mountains to climb, dungeons, castles, swamps, sea voyages ... all
    imaginatively depicted. 
    The Ultima games are good as well, but I've never been too happy with the
    bird's eye view - and I liked Elvira, Mistress of the Dark (does that
    count as RPG?), although I found the gore rather put me off after a
    while, and would have preferred it with a 'squeamish' option.
    Megatraveller 2 is worth a look, if you're into massive complexity - I
    haven't plucked up the courage yet to make a real effort at playing it,
    though.
    Of course, there isn't actually any such thing as a computer
    role-playing game, anyway ... but there's some fairly entertaining
    software which goes under that guise.

Check for a list on one of these three sites...I'm not promising that there

ftp-os2.nmsu.edu

Most games work fine in a Dos Full Screen.  There are some that need a little

You have to use the horn at another gate to the chest. Go down the

              Crack Program For  Civilization 
         ========================================== 
crack written by the Mooncrow 
 
This is a quick and simple unprotect for Microprose's CIVILIZATION game. 
The unprotect will remove that annoying request at 3000BC for information 
regarding the requirement to achieve some randomly selected technology. 
 
FILE: CIV.EXE (mine is date stamped 12/03/91) 
 
Look for the following hex byte sequence: 7D 05 CD 
It should start at hex offset 276D. 
 
Change the "7D" to "EB" and save the modified file. 
 
This patch changes the JGE instruction to a JMP and makes the program assume 
that you have already answered the "protection" question. 
 
One additional benefit from this unprotect is that you can use the SAVE GAME 
feature as soon as you have completed the first move in the game.

Has anybody finished this stunt yet?  I tried and failed six times, and was
given the boot.  My problem is the description is pretty crappy.  It only
says fly around to the front of the castle, then land on the catapult.
Well, I've tried flying in from the front left side, and "missed mark", and
I've tried flying through the door and crashed.  I've also tried coming over the top, but I don't see how you could land at that angle.  Anyone want to help
me on this???????

P.S.  How about the description for the stunt where you shoot the jeep from
a Zero?  It doesn't say where the jeep is, or what to look for.  It doesn't
even start you out in the right direction.  You'd think that they'd put a
little more time into the stunt descriptions.  Otherwise, it's an unbelievable
game.
