message: Any information on how to actually read the clues, i.e. finding the right word in the right panel of the comic book?  I've read two walkthroughs of the Earthworld game and it still escapes me how you're supposed to take those numbers and figure out a)what the word is and b)what objects to leave in what room.  As I recently downloaded all the Swordquest games on an emulator, I'm surious to figure this out. Thanks! -38.119.112.187 08:08, 13 June 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I must have been a very dense 12 year old when this game came out because, for the life of me, the clues never made any sense to me. The game play felt like more of an adventure in futility than anything else. --Jaiotu (talk) 09:17, 19 August 2013 (UTC)

message: Is this really necessary? Jack Tramiel may or may not have the two other prizes, but since no one knows I propose either the sentences be removed or the citations be removed. You can't prove it one way or the other so somethings gotta give.

message: In the Plot paragraph for Earthworld is the sentence "Their parents were slain by King Tyrannus's guards, prompted by a prophecy by the king's wizard Konjuro reveals a prophecy that." This sentence doesn't make any sense. It would be nice if someone could rewrite it. I would do it myself, but sadly, I don't know what this sentence is trying to tell me. --93.200.119.142 (talk) 20:32, 31 October 2012 (UTC)

message: If the crown was won in the Waterworld contest by a mystery winner, why does it then say that the crown was recycled along with the stone and the sword?

message: The article currently says, "Each of the games came with a comic book that explained the plot, as well as containing part of the solution to a major puzzle that had to be solved to win the contest."
No they did not.  Do we have a reference to that?  I bought Swordquest: Fireworld back when it came out (and still have it).  There was no comic book, and no hint.  (It was an incomprehensible game and I rue the fact I spent hours trying to figure it out.)  Let's ditch the sentence if no one can find a proper reference, because it's simply not true. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.158.191.153 (talk • contribs) 
:Yes, they absolutely did come with a comic in the instruction manual. ,  and plenty more --Masem (t) 01:59, 6 August 2018 (UTC)

message: in the promotional material for the contest it regularly references that the prizes were "produced at a cost of $25,000" each. I think this is a bit different from saying that the prizes were worth $25,000 each. 
is it worth updating references to the value of the prizes to reflect this? AnonsysL (talk) 11:34, 29 April 2024 (UTC)
