The game also runs fantastic on VDMsound. The Lands of Lore facebook group has a step-by-step walkthrough on how to set up LOL1 and play it without needing a CD or anything (for the CD version too). I don't remember the specifics but the game is hosted on filefront and there's a batch file you have to configure and then the game runs flawlessly.

My favorite game ever

VDMSound lost interest when DOSBox became good enough to run practically every game. Due to the nature of LCD screens, VDMSound makes games look fuzzy while DOSBox, using DDRAW as output, allows for perfectly sharp images and that's a lot more appealing to me

Get a front end like D-FEND, from the DOSBox site (go to 'utilities'), it makes running DOS games with DOSBox so much easier. Mouse clicks and a GUI interface is a lot better than commands like 'mount c c:\' !!!

Drive mounting can be automated through DOSBox.conf.
Norton Commander works in DOSBox just fine, and you really don't need a more complex GUI than that.

Default Jeweled Dagger

Ah fell into a trap - bought the jeweled dagger from Victor in Yvel for 3000 (thought I could always sell it back) went to white Tower and back. Tried to sell dagger back to Victor - but he wont buy! bummer!

I much much prefer Dosbox Game Launcher:

http://members.quicknet.nl/blankendaalr/dbgl/

It's updated frequently and is even made to work with the beta/CVS versions of DOSBox - it already supports all features in the upcoming DOSBox 0.73 for example. Also, DBGL is easier to get used to as long as you know how DOSBox works.

Finally! I did it to pass the guard's password protection! All I had to do was to give him some silver coins and then kill him!.
Im kidding. ^-^

I was stuck in there. I saw the forum some days ago, but I still couldn't find the exact word.... since yesterday. I was reading another page!!!
I'll give an example about my last confussion. NEVER do what I did, never try this:

So, what I was looking was this(it's still an example):
"Page 4, line 3, word 4"

Quote:
Page 4
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Adventure screen
Portraits
Portraits of the characters in
Here, I used to think that what is in bold was the password!... And So was it that I got rejected like 5 times from the castle... And once again, to run it by DOSBox..

INSTEAD: This is what you should do(In case there is someone else just like me who mistakes everything!).

"Page 4, line 3, word 4"

Quote:
Page 3
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Adventure screen
Finding your way in the dark
Dungeons and underground caverns are often dark. This can
make exploring tricky. You will want to find a lantern as soon
as possible. Lanterns automatically provide light when you
enter dark areas. As the oil in the lantern is used up, the
lantern will begin to dim. You will need to find oil for you
lantern if it runs low. Left-click on your lantern to see how
much oil remains.

Money purse
Silver crowns are the standard unit of currency in Gladstone.

Page 4
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Adventure screen
Portraits
Portraits of the characters in
As I was writing what was first bold, I didn't notice that That page belonged to page 5 actually. So, here its underlined, bold, and in italics what the real password is.

I have to admit it, it was stupid of me to make such a terrible mistake. But sometimes we find on books that the page number is in the top right corner, right??

Yesterday I made it to pass through the castle, and I felt alived. I felt so stupid since then. So this is why I explain it quite long, for avoiding any possible doubt.

Is it possible to defeat the snake things on level 4 of the Urbish mines? I have been there for days and just keep being defeated. I am using the fire balls the green skull and anything else I can think of ( weapons etc)
