After a test-run or F1 contemplation to know control, it was fun. This included dosbox commands (if config tool -writeconf does not work on a Linux) like cycles=14500, scaler=hq3x, memsize=128, fullscreen=true, fulldouble=true and using xgamma to make all my Linux brighter... the textures are a bit tricky indeed. Ouch, its an eye-killer! Great characters and level-ups though... I really sold my wand before trying knights of Saint Andrew... citizens. ;-)

For these who are looking for cheats, I made a simple save editor that will let you have as much money as you want.

There's an A&A forum I've set up here:

http://elzee.cz.cc/amulets/

Its early days but there's stuff about editing and walkthroughs etc...

Hey, nice! A&A deserves a lot more attention that it got, and a forum is a nice place to bring the community together. BTW, do you know about leileilol's Unofficial Amulets & Armor Shrine?

[Edit] Ahh, seeing how you link to the site in the downloads section, you do

Well. Started playing this game (Nov 2011). The first confusing thing when starting is the fact that I get overburdened carrying things in the first 10 minutes. Can you go back to the shop at any time? Or only when you finish a quest? Then I went into a room with lots of barrels. Jumped over a counter and found a sword, but I am stuck behind the counter and cannot get out!!!

Aaarggh. I fell into the river on the first level, got washed downstream. Found an area with a couple of elves and some great treasure, but can't find a way to get back or out???? Are there any walkthroughs anywhere?

I took a quick install and a peek, so some info:
- you can't save or go to town while questing
- I think you can go back after the river smashed you if you RUN (hold shift).
- the way out is marked with 2 crystal balls (hidden by trees, but they are there). The door is closed until you finish the quest objective (aquiring the Book of Visions) I guess.


Some tips:
magic system is annoying. You won't be a battlemage, so either go some kind of priest (they have some healing spells and an "open door" spell), or just use the Knight for melee damage. Ranged weapons sound nice, but they use ammunition, what I'd not trust.
The food-system seems silly as I've found plenty of food (but no water).
Identify items is a built-in ability what incrises by leveling up. I don't know what other results levellin has.
To know wether a piece of armor worth it or not just try to wear it and watch the statistics.
I have no idea how to tell which weapon is better.

From sheer curiosity I finished the first level of this game. So some final tips (if I'll have other things to report, I'll open a topic in the Gaming Zone):

- You can go to town (shop) / save at every level's (called "map" by the game) end. The first quest has 5 maps.
- Time is not running while you are in town.
- Whatever you do in town is automatically saved.
- If you hit Esc twice you quit from the current part of the mission. This equalls with a reload. A good trick is to keep the "identify all" scroll from the starting equipment, kill all opponent on the level, go back for all items, finish the level, start a new level, use the identify scroll, check all your new belongings, then abort mission, and sell all things you don't need.
- The consequence of death is loosing all the money you have on you.
- During the first map it is random from the elves to drop either a copper or a quiver. For each quiver you get 1 silver(!) in the shop.
- Corpses decay, items do not.
- Poison is not that big of a problem. But at the final switch beware, the pedestal of fire is dangerous.

Awesome. Thanks for the tips and advice.

Incidentally, after I shot the elf on the other side, I managed to jump across at the point where the river comes out of the gorge!!!
