Re: in spaaaaaace!! there's science

This article about curved mirror is BS. Not impressed by maths, 101 physics lecture , optics for dummies. Nothing new about wide angle, a questionable US patent. Facts: I happened to drive a car with such a curved side mirror. Never again. Much unsafe because "Objects in mirror are closer than ...

Re: Playing DM with CSB Win,

Ameena, I use the spot you mention to fight the knights ( animated armors ). There is a wall, one can open as a short cut, once open, I think that spot is not safe anymore. Then, there is a risk to have spiders and knights come at you in your back while you fight at the spot where knights can't pass...

I did it, CSB on ATARI ST. Not using any help. Mapping is difficult at the beginning. A lot of map pieces. Once the pieces begin to fit together, the game becomes easier. One needs to investigate every wall to spot hidden rooms, checking for fake wall and using the spell to see through walls to know...

Re: Early Inquisitor and a few other questions

That was RTC where I boosted my two fighters with strengh potions and my two wizards with wisdom potions. It was easy to keep them over 170.

Re: Early Inquisitor and a few other questions

Indeed, armors and shields are disappointing. I prefer all leather clothing rather than Lythe and Darc stuff which is too heavy. Recently, I played with caracters boosted with strenght potions, then heavy armors are no burden any more. I think DM is not tuned right about armors and shield protection...

Re: Save game

Do not save, it is too late.
The only thing you can do is reloading a game you had saved before 1 member died.
Quit.
Restart.
Resume.

Re: Help: Parallel port - FTL sound adapter [SOLVED!]

Nice work. I am impressed, you sure know how to use a soldering iron. Using a 1K/2K ladder versus the original 100K/200K looks wrong to me. This is too much load on the DB25 outputs, the D/A convertion will be not so good. Presumably, the DB25 outputs are TTL, a too high impedance for driving a 1K/2...

Inquisitor is my favorite.

When over 200 strengh, they hit so hard, I do not see much difference from the various swords.
