Subject: NEED HELP WITH SUMMONING (BLUE KNIGHT LEVEL)
Organization: Louisiana Tech University
Date: Tue, 17 Nov 1992 18:05:24 GMT

This is my first post to this newsgroup so excuse me if
I break protocol.

I'm currently playing a game called The Summoning.  I've
got to the Level of the Blue Knight with few problems.
However, within this level there is a room which contains
16 levers that control the opening of the doors to
the lower right.  If you've played the game, you probably
know what I'm talking about.

I can't for the life of me figure out the controlling 
sequence of these levers.  Any help would be appreciated. I
really don't want to buy the clue book, because then it
would be to easy to look up things.

Please direct all responses to wfuller@engr.latech.edu.

Thanks in advance,

William

Does anyone know where I might be able to find a

Invaders?

I would like either a Windows, or a DOS version.

Many thanks!

Questions on the knockers - possible spoilers follow - 















I have two scenarios vs the knockers.

1) The dwarf wants 15 different potions. I give him the 15
potions, feel relieved, but when I get to the surface,
the miners all look disappointed, pack up and leave. The
mine disappears. Izzat right? It wasn't clear the dwarf
screwed me - what happened??

2) Never mind the dwarf wants 15 potions - I go past him,
spend a LONG time clearing dwarves, kobolds, and gnomes
out of the mine. I get to an odd-looking level with
waterfalls, where the gnomes are generated as soon as I
defeat them. I go down a ladder and find the head dwarf's
treasure, five items. I take it, go back and find NO
gnomes (or any other foes) ANYWHERE. But when I leave the
mine, I get "RESULTS - LEFT BATTLEFIELD". Huh? What do they
expect me to do? If I go back in, it's as if I was never
there. I don't feel that I'm geting adequate feedback
from the game, but then I'm not big into RPGs.

Help/advice/spoilers appreciated.

Is the mage an ELF? Elves CANNOT be raised from the dead, unless you go to

You probably play in basic economy. Playing in this difficult level, own
industry ins't necessary and so the game doesn't use own built industry.
If you set the option 'Complex economy" before building an industry, the
game will notice it and you can use it.

then I get a message telling PROBLEM:  Can't create directory \STARCON!..

I'm running Stacker 2.0 on my hard drive with DOS 5.0.. I thought maybe I
didn't have enough convential memory so I took out some TSR's and reached

40 and my buffers to 20 but still same out of environment space error..

I have installed many other large games (ie. Wing Commander II, LinksPRO)

Does anyone have any suggestions or should I return my copy.. Although, I

The message 'Religion cancels effects of Oracle' means that one of the
civilizations has discovered religion, not necessarily yours. The process
can be reversed--you can discover technologies that render an enemy's
WOW useless.

Regarding the Great Library, TWO other civilizations must have an advance
before the WOW gives it to you. It may also be the case that the university
has already been discovered by someone. That would cancel the Great Library.

  	I am willing to trade for a Sound Blaster Pro or I will except

  though and will answer those first.  Also I will except other sound

To my knowledge the 640x480 mode is only supposed to work on Western Digital
chipsets. That it ever worked on anything else was probably a fluke, possibly
the checking code got killed between 1.0 & 1.1. Still you might want to e-mail

Hmmm, I called MicroProse this morning to confirm the shipping date for Strike

November 30th and December 1st (not much time between those days! :-)) as a

Yeah, no kidding.  Back at home, my friend has a poster for Strike 
Commander up on his computer room door.  It says, "The Assault begins 
Christmas 91".  We have already cut out a piece of paper to cover up the 
1991 with 1992, and plan on putting a 1993 on their after the first of the 
year.
 
Is anyone going to actually want this when it finally comes out?
