I am still looking for that U7 cheat!
For those of you who missed my earlier post, I've finished the game
and heard that a cheat menu command had been posted to this group.  I
am quite curious about it, so if anyone has or knows where to find it,
please post or E-mail me (MOLLEMS@WKUVX1 on bitnet).  Thanks in
advance.

(BTW, I note in an earlier post that someone is looking for Infocom
games for the Mac, including "James Bond : A View to  a Kill.  This
was NOT NOT NOT an Infocom game.  I'm not sure who did it (Interplay,
maybe?)  At any rate, I just had to set the record straight, as I am
one of the living Infocom traditionalists (text-only, text-only,
yeah!  I don't know if the Activision collections Lost Treasures of
Infocom I and II are available for the Mac, but if they are I highly
recommend both.)

If anyone has any information about moves, I'd love to read it. Please
send it to me. Also, has anybody picked up a different controller to
play this game? I find the special moves (kyu/ken's fireball) a little
difficult to do with the standard Nintendo controller.

Haven't heard from anyone in a while so it was good to hear from someone
so excited about opera.  I would advise our friend from Nova Scotia not
to limit oneself to NYC.  As a longtime subscriber to Lyric Opera of Chicago
I think a trip to Chicago during the fall/winter season might be benefic-
ial (though single tickets are hard to find).  Opera is a number of places.
Reading your message also brought to mind the operatic performance that
got me "hooked" - Jon Vickers as Peter Grimes (Lyric Opera of Chicago, 1977).
>From the seat the farthest from the stage, I thought the man was right next
to me and that he was NUTS!  I was afraid of getting closer.  Since then,
favorite operatic crazies at LOC have included June Anderson (twice as
Lucia, especially the production where the mad Lucia was climbing all over
the set) and Maria Ewing as Salome (when she rolled down the stairs toward
the head we all thought that Maria had lost it).  On the "non-crazy" side,
a Rosenkavalier and Figaro that were just about perfect.  Welcome!

Subject:      SoundBlaster Pro

I was thinking of buying a SoundBlaster Pro (with the MIDI stuff on
the adaptor itself).

My question is this.  The only place near where I live that sells
this card sells it at $250.  Is this a reasonable price?  If not,
I can always drive for about an hour to a larger city, but I would just
as soon avoid spending the gas money if I don't have to.

Thanks in advance,

You can find SoundBlaster Pro mail order for less that $200.  Babbages had
them on sale a few months ago for a little more than $200.

Copy II PC is not that hard to use when you get the hang of it.  This program
has three separate copy protection files to use for copy protection.

Copy II PC - Type in the source and the target disk like in diskcopy except
tell it what kind of drive is the source and which is the target.  For example
(copy II PC A: B: /src=360k tgt=720k)

Nokey - is a memory resident file that makes the computer think you have the
origional disk.

Retaliator is a very interesting flight simulator game that can be

I have heard that The Perfect General is a neat war game (although very

Also, there is one other game on the market that uses 640x480x256

At home I have a procomm CD-ROM that barly meets MPC specs. When I
play Sherlock it is very choppy but still impresive. WC and SWOTL
both play fine from it. It plays audio and vidio fine one at a time.
But if both are going at once, like Sherlock then it gets choppy.

AT work I have a NEC 74 CD-ROM. it plays them all smoothly. If you
get a CD-ROM get the fastest you can afford.

BTW the CD version of SWOTL does not have the neat manual that the
disk version does.

Hello, world!

  I know people were discussing this a while back, but figured I'd pitch in my
two cents...

SNES Goodies :  *F-ZERO - one of the best racing games I've played.
                        super fast action and good graphics. recommended.

                *Final Fantasy II, Zelda - very good RPG, great graphics. rec.

                *UN-squadron,Gradius - great graphics, decent challenge. rec.

                Darius Twin - great graphics, fairly easy.

                *Contra III - ditto; very challenging. recommended.

                *Lemmings, SimCity - addictive.

                Act-Raiser,Lagoon,Castlevania  - average.

By the way, I'm stuck in Zelda - HOW do you get into the Turtle Rock ???
I have every item except the cape...

FTP to acorn.grove.iup.edu for FS4 files. The files were "uploaded" using a
PathWorks file service, and hence exist as STREAM files with carriage return
carriage control. Such files do not correctly download using kermit binary
mode. If your VMS kermit supports it, you can SET FILE TYPE BLOCK before
downloading. If not  you can try TYPE BINARY then STRU FILE before FTPing
them after which a binary kermit download should work.

Just a reminder that most if not all of them require ASD to function.

You may also want to join the Flight-Sim list. Just e-mail to
Flight-Sim@grove.iup.edu with the message SUB  YOUR_FULL_NAME.

I suppose you have been at your computer, dotting in each murder location.
If you have, connect the dots.
You will see that it (allmost) looks like a pentagram.
Complete the pentagram with one last dot, and a coupple of lines, and head 
of to it's location (it's a bar if my memory hasen't left me).

Subject:      Copy Protection
X-To:         - <games-l@brownvm.brown.edu>

CopyIIPC does not remove copy protection from software, it just allows
you to make copies of those 'copy protected' floppy disks.

I believe the question posed by first copy protection message was 'How is
it done' and 'Where can I get info on how to do it'.

I have seen instructional files on the art of copy protection removal,
but I do not FTP so I can not give you an FTP site. For those of you who
have a modem, try Channel One BBS 617-354-8873 for 2400 and 617-354-2505
for 9600.
Maybe someone else can give you guys an FTP site...

I have removed protection from a game before, but my method would not
work on current games. Well, It won't work if the programmers are
semi-intelligent.

I had a game (forget the name) that would ask a silly question before
letting me play, so I used the Norton Utilities hex editor and searched
the .EXE and data files for one of the answers to the question. I found
the answers sitting in the .EXE file just as plain ASCII (not encoded in
any way). I replaced all the answers with the hex code 00. I ran the game
and when it asked me the question I just pressed enter and it let me in.

Does anybody know of an FTP site where the solution to Dagger of Amon
Ra is?  Would be most grateful.  Thanks.
