Subject:      Wasteland

This question is for anyone who's played Wasteland, the Electronic Arts game.

I was killed while using the MindLink device by the last Finster.  Now I
can't get the Secpass B, so I can't raid the armory at the Sleeper Base.

Can anyone tell me how to fix this situation?  I can't even bury the character
or let anyone else use the Mindlink.

Please help!! :)

Thanks in advance.

              Check out the games from Spectrum Holobyte.
              So far they have Tetris, I believe, and
              Falcon 3.0, which is a fighter simulation.
              Both are supposedly Novell Network rated.
              Happy Gaming!

Subject:      SimCity and SimEarth

Someone asked about SimCity, SimEarth, SimAnt, Civilization, and games of
that type. I only have experience with SimCity, but here goes.

SimCity is an absolutely addictive game. I've been playing it for over a
year now, off and on. You begin with a certain amount of land, water, and
trees and a certain amount of money. You have to build a city. Prices range
from $1 to bulldoze a unit of land to $100 to zone 9 units of land as
Commercial, Residential, or Industrial, $500 for a police or fire
station, $3000 for a stadium, $5000 for a nuclear power plant, to $10,000
for an airport. Roads and Rails are both available; Rails include subways
and other forms of public transportation. You get yearly tax revenue
depending on the tax rate and the land value. Tax goes to maintenance of
the roads and rails and to the operation of police and fire stations; any
surplus goes into your spending fund, any deficit comes out of your
spending fund.

There are several common problems. Most of them are fairly consistent
throughout the game, from the very beginning to the metropolis stage.
Pollution results from too high a density of industrial zones. High housing
costs result from too high a concentration of high-value zones. Unemployment
means too many residential zones or too few commercial or industrial zones.
Traffic means that you don't have enough roads. Crime means that you don't
have enough police stations.

The focus of the game changes as your city grows. In the beginning your
sole goal is to get the city alive and functioning. This is not as easy as
it sounds; it requires a delicate balance or you can quickly go into debt.
This is not the government, and deficit spending doesn't happen. Once you
have a city of about 50,000, then the problems start being more difficult
to fix. By the time your city reaches 200,000 or so, you're not dealing
with individual sections of the city anymore. You have to consider whole
quarters of the map and decide what you want to do with them. Do they stay
industrial? Do you relocate some of the major industries so as to thin out
the pollution?

SimCity is a fascinating game. I will offer one warning: some people play
it for ten minutes and find it idiotic, while some people play it for ten
minutes and are hooked. The game holds up well, if you like it in the first
place. My advice is to find a friend with SimCity and try it out first.
Then if you like it, buy it. If you like it in the first ten minutes,
you'll like it for a long time.

I posted a message a couple days ago asking if there was any other

two or more files.  The 1.8meg file on wuarchives will not fit
<barely> on the limited space I have available to me.

So, unless anyone knows of another site, would someone be kind
enough to zip it into 2 separate <about 900k I suppose> files and
upload them to a site I could anon ftp them from?  Please mail me if
you can.  Thanks.

First, you cannot read apple ][ disks on an IBM drive.
If you want to use the apple emulator, you need to find an apple with modem
and/or network hookups.  Then do a bit-image of the apple disk into a 140k
file.  You then download this via modem or network to your ibm.
Name the file 'DISKnl.APL' I think .APL is the extention, but I'm not certain.
replace n with a number, usually 6 (this is the slot), and the l with either
A or B, for drives 1,2 respectively.  As far as I know, you need to return to
the IBM dos prompt to rename files if you want to change disks.

Hi gang,

A little while ago, someone was having problems with his/her 386 when using
SoundBlaster. It kept hanging in the middle of the game.

I had (still have, actually) the same problem but everything works fine
if I install it as an Adlib card. Ever since I discovered that trick, it
works great. I still don't know why that is, though, so if anyone has a clue,
I'd like to here from you...

Some years ago I wasted lot of time playing LOAD RUNNER in a Mac.  Is
there a version for PC, and if there is, where can I find it... or if

Also I have some compressed files in '.z' format.  I do not have
access to a UNIX system.  Can someone tell me where can I find an
uncompressor for '.z' files that works in a PC under MSDOS.  Better
if someone could send me one.

To end... where can I find some good GIF (or JIF :-)... if possible

  You also need to put the line device=emm386.exe in your config.sys
  Oh, and I have heard that sometimes you need a certain number of

I'm interested in getting the Multi-player MAZEWARS for Vax, and also
if anyone has a vax CHESS game, I'd really appreciate it.

On level 2, how do you use the flying potion?  I've tried it, but just floated
