Anyone starting CSB should read this

I've been reading this forum for a little while as I, like many, love both games, and have many happy memories palying them as a youth!

That is exactly my point. I was a youth - I completed the game aged 14/15! I didn't have any internet forums or guide books to help - all I had was......

When I got my copy of CSB for my Atari ST, it came with a shiny GOR coin, and the following poster/map - and it is my belief that if you have this map handy, you will complete the game much easier than you would if you didn't have it.

As it came with the game, I do not consider it a spoiler, and therefore attach it for any would be CSB-er to print off/look at etc!

As for the guys doing the emulating/porting/recoding etc - THANK YOU, and WELL DONE - you've made a lot of people very happy!

I find if you save this as your stretched desktop background, a quick skeg of the windows key at those moments of confusion can work wonders!

Lol, once you get it it is a nice hint for certain areas, isn't it?

Sure this was available somewhere before, but yes, it at least highlights the paths to avoid drop down pit confusion!

That's one of the things I liked about DM2. It came with that nifty map of the keep, which didn't really mean anything until after you solved all the puzzles. Still, I thought it was clever.

this looks great...

but sometimes i have a feeling that this game gets even more complicated with benevolent hints...

by the way, haven´t played CSB recently, but will resume after the easter weekend.

I've got that map and the Gor coin - they were two of the things I made sure I brought with me when I came up here (not because I have any particular use for them, simply because I think they're cool and want to keep them forever and ever ).
