I'm not positive about this but I seem to remember that in  Pool of
Radiance there was a temple, in which you could pick up 2 or 3 swords
which were evil (I could be wrong - this could have been just some
cursed swords).

At the door, do a running jump to the left.

The far left edge opens the door.  A standing jump to the right
and grabbing hold of the ledge gets you back so you can
go to the next level.

I've been playing UW the Stygian Abyss for a while and I've cleared out
through the 6th level except for this one nagging little problem. I can't
seem to get the ring of humility.  On the 5th level there is a room in
the northwest with 4 switches, one on the NW wall, one on the SW, SE, and
NE.  Now, I scribbled down that one guy told me to flip the switches in
the following order: NW, SE, NE, SW and stay out of the middle of the room
and I would get the ring of humility.  So I happily wander into the room,
flip the switches and Wallah!...nothing happens.  What am I missing?
I've got everything but this ring and the cup of wonder and I'd like to
move on and tackle level 7.  Any helpful hints?

I'm not sure how to tell what version you have.  My understanding is that
v.02 was a bug fix only. V.03 fixed some more bugs but changed some
game play too:  Transports don't make unhappy people, cities must be
larger than pop=3 to make specialists other than elvii, cities can be
renamed, there's another grade of unhappy people (red shirts) who are
really pissed.  V.04 was a bug fix only (bug related to game hangs in late
game when advisors are active).  V.03 and V.04 can be downloaded from
Microprose BBS (301)785-1841 (V.32).

>There was at least one posting claiming Microprose said they did not

false.  I have downloaded V.04 from MPS BBS.

If you don't have at least V.03, I suggest you obtain the new version.
Unless you're having problems with advisor hangs, V.04 is optional.

Actually, the only keys you have to press are shift-5,6, the rest is noise.
If this works on your copy, you have v.01.

I did reinstall them and no files are missing.  Both ask for the

Hi Everybody !
In Ultima Underworld I try to get the Ring of Humility. As Derek told me,
I went to level 5 and found the room with the 4 levers. I pushed them in the
order Derek told (NW, SE, NE, SW) and - nothing happens. Whats wrong ?

Second Question - Where is the secret door in level 3 where a part of the 
sword can be found ? In the north of the east storeroom of the bandits is a 
secret door. Behind that some useful items can be found - but no sword part.

I had some problems with the installation - is my game damaged ? I mail-ordered
the game so I don't want to send it back if not absolutely necessary. One 
animation file is damaged, so I used the static cut file instead. But I
don't believe my problems lie in the cut files.

Please help.
Thanks Steffen   skrause@hp832.informatik.hu-berlin.de

  I don't think those games had on-disk protection, just manual lookup.  
It's probably missinstalled and can't find something.  Try re-installing 
them first.

Summary: what's in the update(s)?

Could someone post a summary of what is changed by the 'update'
to v3 and/or v4?  And how do I know if I have 1 or 2 to start with?

There was at least one posting claiming Microprose said they did not
do a v4 - so maybe it's something homebrew or even a trojan horse??

I'm quite happy playing what I bought at Egghead on 4/23/92, so
I'd appreciate it if someone would summarize what I'm missing.

The book says the shift(1..8) cheat does not work on v2 - I only have
to go to 6 for whatever it is I have, but I think that's probably just that
no one else cared to watch closely and see how many you have to type to
get the blinking to change :-}  watch it sometime!

	thanks!
