A forgotten gem in game history.
 

I still remember the batch file I made to put the entire game on a Virtual RAM Drive. I got it to run so smoothly on my old 386.

I also remember being scared to death running down corridors away from very scary looking monsters! As a 10-year old when I first played it, it made me panic. I didn't want to see the skull when I died! And monsters or people, you could correspond with anything or attack it, even if its friendly. If you have a business deal with a goblin go sour, and he is upset already, he will become hostile, the music will change, and suddenly you must defend your shady business practices. Or run.

Anyway this game is extremely awesome, and I can not believe it gets overlooked as often as it does. The sequel is a little hard to get started, but the first one has a degree of social immersion in a 3d environment that no modern game has really come close to.

:hello:
Welcome a board, dear Flyinghamster.

No, this gem is not forgotten.

386? Wow!

i don't get you, yoga. you've beaten games that make me squirm and yet you never found the patience to beat a game i've beaten w/o a single FAQ.

although to be fair, i took months to beat this game because i got stuck with a boring subquest and decided to relax by spending ~2 months reading LotRs(all 3 books) before getting back to it.

for its sequel, labyrinth of worlds, i just read a walkthrough as soon as i got stuck with that listener imp thing...

:hello:

Polite help plea
 

Well, well,well.
bad news
brave met first strong monster - hostile spider Mavrey night eyes.
Nothing special, but it poisoned me and i have not antidote potion.
My options are not much.
6 rune stones:
In, Bet, Jux, Lor, Ort, Sanct.
Possible magics:
Light = In+Lor - not valuable in combat.
Armor = Bet+In+Sanct - no much help
Magic arrow = Ort+Jux
I beat 4 times the spider from distance, no big effect.
Any help and advice will be highly appreciated.
Many gamers are passed this game, i know.
Friend in need's a friend indeed
:D

Level 4

Level 4

Who cares?
 

....
Yes.
Who?
Anyway warnings for new beginners:
- Dropping important stuff on some areas is not wise idea,
because some times they simply..disappeared.
10 meters from pit with the golem and golds are such area.Lvl 2.
Hmm. i do not use lamps because of need of oil flasks.
I am using now the Light magic.
Location:
I entered lvl 5, found the hilt, took blade and Master Shak at
lvl 2 completed my new weapon The sword of Justice.
Still i am unable to kill Sir Roderick - lvl 4 and Bandit Leader - lvl 3.
The game is very user friendly. And i like to fly!
Nice series!
happy brave
