Gold coins and Worm generators

[LegionOfDeicide]

In DM and CSB, putting gold coins infront of the faces on walls stopped Worms being Generated and Demons on the Chaos level of DM. Doesn't seem to be working on the Worm level in RTC? Can someone correct me if I am wrong.

That's a fallacy -- a long existing rumour that was never true, so RTC is behaving correctly.

[LegionOfDeicide]

I dont agree. I remember for the Atari St version at least, that if you put coins down on the floor for the worm level it stopped them appearing. I think it is also true of the real PC version.

Definitely not the PC version, there are no actuators around
Maybe, just maybe, the atari version worked slightly differently and a coin on a floor trigger would block the party activating it when they walked over it
But I think this was possibly just imagination - demons NEVER regenerate on the chaos level of DM anyway, and there is a long delay on the worm generators, plus the triggeres aren't placed so you will always activate them

Never heard that rumour before!

[Gambit37]

You may not agree, but you'd be wrong Legion. Trust me, this was never the case in any version of DM and probably came about because so many coins are available on that level, and so many demon faces are present, that someone somewhere incorrectly assumed that's what the coins were for.

Hang in there for a few months, and when my new DM website is up and running, you'll see that I can prove it...

There was a generator on the Demon level, I think near the corridor of the skeleton keys. I am sure sure sure that if you didn't place a gold coin there, a demon would be created. Also, I have a REAL Gor coin somewhere. When CSB was released in the UK, the pre-ordered copies came with a GOR coin. I will try and dig it out for people.

[Gambit37]

I have three of them... The GOR coins that is. You may not be aware of all the other DM sites, so for more info about all the DM games, try the Encyclopedia:

When at the encyclopaedia, be sure to pick up George's other tool DMute, or Sphenx's DMBuilder - you can then view the PC DM files yourself and see - it's interesting to check out favourite puzzles, as long as you have finished playign the game enough to spoil it for yourself : )

It has been my experience on both Amiga and SNES that never worked. I think if it did work on the atari, it may have been a system exclusive bug.
