Uhh its not working :(

This is what my screen looks like:

There is not possible way to get up those steps :ranting:

I had the feeling in the back of my mind that you might be trying the wrong door. That's the jail. The sheriffs' house is the one next to the general store. Watch out for otto. ;)

Ah well that explains a lot. Thanks :Brain:

bah now im having another problem. When I play the knife throwing game with the thief boss, I set angle and power and my dagger goes flying to the side and the game pretty much freezes :wall: :help:

I know that QG4 is not abandoned, but I'd really like for someone to explain to me in detail the how and why (I'm not asking for the game, and I'm not asking for the definition of abandonware). 1VGA, 2, and 3 seem to be abandoned and are easily found in the abandonware ring. Why not 4? It can't have been supported within the last few years, can it? Is there some weirdo legal situation where 1, 4, and 5 are protected and 1 VGA, 2, and 3 are not?

Anyway, if someone could clear that up for me (and maybe tell me that 4 will be abandoned soon...), that would be great. Ah, to get a hold of 1 and 4...

I can't explain that one, but before you play the game, max out your throwing skills.

Go and throw daggers at the target outside of town, or go to where the spitting seed is and pick up a gazillion rocks and just throw them, (fastest way). Also casting firedart increases throw skill too.

And throwing rocks at monsters before battle should see a decrese in their health. Also builds strength and agility too throwing rocks. :)

I'm not sure why but every time I try to save the game it crashes. It's getting more than a little frustrating. :Titan: Any help?

Just uploaded the Famous Adventurer's Correspondence School book & the Manual for the game. Both in PDF, and both supplied by Taikara :cheers:

I have those for the third one as well, though they're in txt format. I PM'ed Kosta about this , but haven't received a reply (now that I think of it, I haven't seen much of him lately. Did his computer explode or something?).

He is busy working on the big surprise. So am I :)

Hi. Great Site.

But, I've been having some serious problems with QFG1.

First, I can't seem to fight the weapon master. Every time I do, he instantly knocks me to the edge of the screen in one hit.

Second, after rescuing the baron's son, I can't get into the castle. The two guards out front play their trumpets, and then the castle door opens, and then the hero walks toward the door. Then, he just freezes there. The music continues to play, and it doesn't error or loop; it plays the way it's supposed to when you get inside the castle. But, the hero doesn't go inside. He just stands in the open door way.

I've tried everything I can think of to fix the problem. I've played the game patched, unpatched, on dosbox, in XP, in XP command shell, and on every other MS OS I have, win 3.1, win 95, win 98, win 98SE, win 2000, and win NT.

I've already tried the game with and without the patches from

http://www.geocities.com/TimesSquare/Arcad...s/Downloads.htm

Has anyone else ever had either of these problems?

It's so frustrating that it makes me want to kill myself.
