Help! previous versions ran fine - last was v.1.3 as I recall. I recently upgraded to the latest and, when I go to play the game - ie clicking on the RTC icon - I hear a 'ping!' and the screen goes black - nothing.
Any ideas what's wrong? Can I reinstall an earlier version?

Multiple saved games
Is it possible to have more than one saved game for each of the 2 types of RTC? I'd love to have several parties on the go at any one time - as you could in the original Atari version, if my memory serves me.

automaps
'Disableable' is fine by me. Yeah, great word - pity it (almost certainly) doesn't exist! Not in 'English' English anyway. American English may be different, they have some strange words. But I'm sure they say that of us!

George, is an automap facility in the pipeline for the near future? (or is there one that I've somehow missed?) It will be particularly useful when the level editor becomes available.

Zoo
You can select and save up to 4 characters from the Zoo. Quit and start a new game but don't enter door but click on scroll at the bottom of the screen. Select 'make new adventure' and choose your team from the Zoo; save and enter dungeon. Now you can play RTC with the CSB characters. This not only ...

No mana
For an interesting challenge, try starting the game with a party with NO MANA at all. eg. Stamm & Halk. In the past I've completed DM with just Stamm on his own. Quite a struggle until you find the means of learning spells.

random vs human
I meant no offence my my 'geek/whiz-kid comment. But many of the contributors use a lot of mystifying 'math(s)' and technical stuff that this middle-aged fart (56) can't help but feel a bit out of it. Now where's my zimmer frame.....?

Graphics
Your final comment about 'fancy graphics' is SO true. When will game developers get this into their thick heads? Never, I suspect.

random vs human
Speaking as an ordinary punter (ie, not some geek/whiz-kid) I say why not have both options, although I think human designed dungeons are much more fun - especially for the one doing the designing. I once had a level editor for the Atari DM and spent as much time building dungeons as playing the ...

Lev 12 - what now?
I'm stuck (again!). On the level with the knights and spiders. I've killed the weird ghosty things and got the darc armour and killed the first knight but can't open any more doors. I have a ruby key, a gold key and a cross key. I've been left and right after the stairs down but everything is shut ...

"many dungeons"?
In the readme file George talks of 'many dungeons'. All I can find (apart from the Chaos hall of champs) is the original DM dungeon. Are there any others I've missed? If so, how do I access them?

Scorpion L
Thanks. I just about remember the tactic you mention but it's the bit just before with the gigglers (little bastards) that is so frustrating. Another impression I get with this new version is that grey keys are even harder to see than in the original - or are my poor old eyes failing me? Any excuse ...

Playing with 1/2
Yeah, it has been a long time. Also, at 56 I'm not getting any younger (you tend to slow up a bit on the reaction side of things)

RTC DM: Playing with just 1 or 2 adventurers
When I played DM in the dark ages I found it actually easier with 2 characters, and lots of fun with just 1. <br>Do all players realise that 4 is not compulsory?<br>Also, in this version, are there any handicaps for doing this as I'm finding it quite hard going? (I'm playing with Stamm and Chani (my ...

RTC DM: Key(s) for 'scorpion' level
Stuck again - on 'rat' level and ready to try the horrendous 'scorpion' level. I always regarded this as the hardest level in the game when I played DM all those years ago. Where is the key, or is it 2 keys, to open the door(s) near the start? I think I've cleared out the rat level but may not have ...

Thanks, I'll give it a try. Can I ask a question about the previous level? The big room which has 4 rooms off it.
I cannot work out the correct sequence in the room with the teleports, and in the room with the moving pits I cannot reach the far left corner. Can you help?

I'm on L5 (with skellies and beholders) but no matter how many I kill, they just keep on respawning at a frightening rate. Also, my characters never seem to increse their fighter skill level. I assume the key for the door on the left is in this section? I've spent a whole evening here and it's ...
