Subject:      Re: HUMANS

        I found 'The HUMANS!' to be amusing and fun to play.  It's a lot like
'Lemmings' except that the humans are static - they only move if you make one
move.  Each board has a different number of humans allowed, and you swap
between them (like switching Windows in MSWin) to accomplish goals like finding
the spear and rescuing your pet dinosaur.
        Control was quite easy, most of the boards not too difficult. A couple
were brain-numbers until I looked at the particular problem "upside down" then
it all came clear.  After succeeding at major objectives (like discovering
fire, the spear, etc.) there are full-screen animated vignettes - they are all
quite amusing.
        My only complaint - one serious enough for me to return the damn game -
is that it seems to be full of bugs.  Certain dinosaurs take multiple
spear-hits to kill, but after the first hit, they become a randomized mess of
pixels.  You can still continue, but it's a mess on the screen and harder than
hell to hit again.  The game was also prone to locking up, necessitating
hitting the <RESET> button on the CPU, as the keyboard got totally locked out.
I tried numerous "clean boot" configs in hope that these problems might be due
to TSR conflict, but alas, no luck.  The game also came with both 5.25" and
3.5" disks, and I tried installs from both sets, in case only one set was bad.
No luck.  Looks like there really are some significant bugs in the code.  (Any
feedback from other HUMANS! players?)  And there was no customer service ph#
listed ANYWHERE. *grumble*
        Oh yeah - the game also has off-disk protection: an annoying sheet with
little icons with code #s underneath each icon.  The game shows you an icon,
you respond with the appropriate code.  Not too bad (Wiz6 was infinintely
worse in that respect) but a hassle to deal with.

        Bottom line is: if you can get a bug-free copy then do so!  The game
was a lot of fun.  Otherwise, leave it on the shelf.

                                                                Laz

Subject:      PoP getting displeased

Good morning!
        Well, after Louis was good enough to answer my last question (I used
the tab key & kept hitting the 9,6,&3 keys until I got past him.), I finally
made it to the end of the first level o' PoP.  Now, there's a neat little
copy protection trick @ the beginning o' level 2 where I need to drink the
potion designated by some letter in the manual.  As you all know by now,
Forrest Hanvey did not send me the manual along with the game when I traded
for it with him in good faith (add suitable harumphing here).
        All this is prelude to the question I never thought I'd ask.  Is there
a crack for Prince of Persia &, if so, where?  I've got the original box, or-
iginal disk, & no manual.
        Don't even flame.  I'm an honest man.
                                                Merry Christmas,

Believe it or not, that is not always the case.  It depends upon the software
being used.  I seem to recall the person in question mentioning that he
could not get name service on his pc.  With TCP/IP for the PC, name
service depends upon the software.  For example, I used Lan Workplace for
DOS on my PC for a while, and had to write my own hosts file, because it would
not resolve any IP numbers (and did not plan to, according to the manual).
The windows version, however, worked quite well, for some strange reason.
THen I switched to a combination of Clarkson Telnet and Waterloo FTP, and that
worked fine, with Name resolution and all.  So it could just be the software
you're using.  Then again, I could be completely off base here, and if I am,
you have my apologies.  But speaking from personal experience, it could be
something like that.  If the person who needs help wants to continue this
privately, he/she can email me at INFOSY11@UCONNVM and I will be glad
to help in any way I can....

later,

Hello all,
   I heard that there are FTP sites with some interresting things like :
     1. Games Bytes magazine, its an electronic magazine for PCs. It has
        reviews on new games and some snap shouts too.
     2. Text files as well as Sound Blaster compatible sound files. These
        are for artists and bands. They are actual songs, further some GIFs
        and movies are available.

  Okay .. if any of you ppl out there know any site that has this sort of stuff
 .. please let me know about it .
  Regards ..

Hi, folks,

        Would someone be good enough to send me the keyboard commands for
Prince of Persia?  My good bud Forrest Hanvey didn't send the manual when
I traded him for it.  Now, I don't know how to use my sword & keep getting

        Also, I figured out how to defeat Mars God of War as NATO in Command
HQ in less than twenty turns.  If there are any HQ-files out there, drop me a
line & I'll let you know how.

                                                Cheers!
                                                        Alex

Hello.  Yesturday someone asked for information about Darklands.  Well here
it is:

-The mines are AROUND the city, not really INSIDE it.  If you look around
in the wilderness for a while, you should see a cave like structure.
-If you stay in a city for too long, then your local rep. will go down because
they think that you are not doing anything.  You don't need to be hired to go
into the cave, but it might help.  Most likely, the miners in the cave will
pay you or give you a philosipher's stone.
  If you have any more quetions, please write to me.  Thanks.

Subject:      Quest for Glory

I have been offered a special deal on the 'new' VGA version of
Quest for Glory.  The screen shots look pretty nice, but is the
game any good?  I am a big Ultima fan so my standards are set
pretty high.  Can anyone give me some comments on this game?

Subject:      Goblins

   Sorry about posting this to the entire list, but I got rid of the
messages that requested the solve and solution to the first level of
the game Gobliins.  Another sorry here (dang am I a sorry individual <grin>),
but I can't find where I got the walkthrough and deleted the demo, so I
can't figure out what I did in level 1.  I've checked most of the BBS's
that I regularly call and haven't seen the walkthrough and checked most of
the files that I archived with similar results.  I'll keep looking, but
don't count on anything.  Later,
                                                               :\/\/\/:

Subject:      Darkseed request

I need help with Darkseed.  I've played it to this point:

==> I have the my keys for the car, but the car will not start.

==> I have the glowing hammer, but I haven't found a use for it yet.

==> I'm running out of time, I've got about 8 hours left in game time to
    complete.

==> I've tried breaking the mirror with the hammer but the force field
    doesn't let me hit it with hammer.

==> Have not figured out how to turn off the generator (power source).


Any help with any or all of these items would be helpful.  Thanks
beforehand.


Merry Christmas.

Ken
