Re: DM2 in WinUAE

Ah yes, I had this problem also, except i had -900 megabytes or close to, so I woked around this by creating a harddrive that was 1000 megabytes, this gave me a 100+ harddrive to work with. Seems stupid but I could not figure outanother way around it so I ended up having a gigabyte sized harddrive f...

Re: [RTC] Tower of Champions HINTS & HELP *SPOILERS*

Hmm that's odd, I could have sworn the dragon run away from me, that was the only way I could trap him in his own fireballs. Anyway, I'm currently stuck. I can't figure out how to get past the door next to the tech eye that says "I will not let you pass" in the mages guild. I have the ZO r...

Re: DM2 in WinUAE

I had DM2 working on WinUAE once, it was a painful experience to get it wokring as I remember and I could never get it running smoothly but part of that could have been the slow computer I was using at the time. I had to use two different version of WinUAE, one to install and one to play, that was w...

I've got the Vi rune now, so if I could get the spellbook and a flask I'd be away but I'll try the priest guild for now. I didn't r...

Re: [RTC] Tower of Champions HINTS & HELP *SPOILERS*

Just playing playing this dungeon, things were going ok but I accidently saved with an injury which slows me down. Is it possible to heal wounds anywhere at all near the beggining? Or better to restart? I got injured at the warriors guild in the arena, which I've since finished. Also, I can't find a...

Re: RTC Config

Ah it was numlock, don't think I've had to use it before. Thanks for the help. Finally managed to get out of that first room in TOC. :) Loved the sound from the old game Gods when you make the hammer.

Oh and using a destop not a laptop.

Re: Minimum Picking

I probably saved the game between 10 and 20 times maybe. As for restoring, probably over 100 times but that was due to the extremely slim chance of a worm moving to the correct tile at 00,20,44 which activates the teleporter at 00,33,42. I just had to try over and over until it appeared and demons w...

I'm pretty sure that is the absolute minimum, unless PaulH or Paul Stevens has any more tricks. The end of this was very, very painful to record.... I'll mail it to Paul for confir...

I just mailed Paul a playfile of my attempt. I finished up with 43 on the count, I believe 42 could be done with a little bit more struggle and possibly 41, but it would be painful. 41 is the minimum you could possibly do I think, I could have taken Linflas instead of Wuuf or Mophus to save on picki...

Re: 'Toe to Toe' with the dragon

Also, behind what I mentioned with Hawk is, that when you select DM Rules at the prison entrance, then enter the prison, DM Rules becomes deselected. This didn't used to happen I think, so you have to select DM Rules once you actually start the game.

It's not only monsters that can be missed by fireballs if they move at the right time, the party can also 'walk through fireballs' this way if you move foward a square at the right time or spin at the right time or move a characters position at the right time. Tricky though, it's probably only a 6th...

1. I don't remember any particular trick to the tower of pits aside from just getting across without falling. There should just be a key at the top here and that's it. You then have to backtrack to the real trick as I remember. 2. I'm pretty sure you can't open it, you just look through to see the g...

Ah, but in CSBWin's alternate test, you are not supposed to save, if you are recording anyway.

Extra ticks makes the game too slow while having it off makes it go too so the actual speed the game is played at is somewhere in the middle.
