I had greystar 2 and 4, and freeway warrior 4...should still have, somewhere behind alot of other books : )

BTW, I'm looking for the text of deathtrap dungeon in english (I own the book in french). Anyone knows where I can find it on internet? (I want to reproduce some dialogs with CSBuild)

I have a copy here -- if you know what you want, I can dig it out and type it up for you.

beowuufyface - a disease where your eyes go wide and your tongue lolls out when someone offers a childhood sought after book in good condition : )

cheers for the link!

I'm tempted to bid myself -- it's in much better condition than my one! Gah, that could get ugly, you and I competing for the same book.... I think I'll let you have it!

I found another one too, but the counters page is missing:

lol, don't let my beowuuffyface deter you, i'm pretty settled on not bidding too much more for it than i have now, so if anyone outbids me closer to the time, just go for it : )

*knows you may well sell it cheaper later, wahhahaha!*

hmm, it's cheaper and seems just as good apart from the counters!

quite funny, if you had placed your one on ebay too, that would have been three being sold at the same time!

I would like to know as well...I want to do a comparison with the game made by edios to see if they're the same.

ian livingstone actually had a thourough hand in the game, right? so i imagine it would remain true enough

Hmm. I dunno. The game is supposedly based on the book, but I bought it cheap and played the first level or so. It didn't seem to relate at all and in fact was very boring. I didn't recognise anything from the book at all!

Might try it again at some point though just to check.

Here's a proposal: you playtest the dungeon and when you feel a text is missing or incorrect, you report the correct text.

hey! i have a copy too! right here! and a copy of the sequel!
lol, just maybe not the time for playtesting atm : (

Nostalgia is a powerful thing. For a laugh, I tried playing Flight From the Dark again, nearly 20 years after it first came out. I got killed three times in a row, and was very bored. Didn't have the magic that I seem to recall. Best left as memories I think!

Flight from the dark is actually weird, it's just a 'get from here to there' with not much story or stand out stuff. I must admit to always following the same path when i played it, with sixth sense find banedon, go through the forest a certain way after that, go through the tunnel with the burrowcrawler, fight the goargaz, then on through the graveyard of the ancients to the city

The real magic comes from book two i always found, with the quest for the sommerswerd. And lol, i don't think i've touched the books for a while either -maybe best to leave it that way : )

Yeah, I did the sixth sense path too, but got killed by the gourgaz on the first go -- crappy stats! I tried two different paths after that and was sliced and diced both times. Perhaps I'll try and get through the whole thing... you never know, I might even get to book 2. Still, something incredibly geeky about playing this again.. at my age! Blimey, gotta get a job... though that's looking hopeful! Not saying anymore in case I jinx it, but keep your fingers crossed this week.

lol, never fight the gourgaz without good stats! he's got a CS of 20 or something stupid like that! : )

yeah, i seem to remember the giak/doom wolf bit being painful just after there too...
personally, because of the chaos master and zakhan kima in laaaaaaaaater books, i think i used to ignore low scores, and later when i decided to do the books come what may, i got deent CS scores!

*keeps fingers crossed for...no reason...*

DAMNIT! getting outbid with the companion. Do i keep bidding...or walk away...
Time's running out too...

eh, i ventured as much as i wanted, and got the max bid for all of two seconds or so : )

ah well!

Damn! Well, there are a couple of others on there at the moment you could try.

That manuscript for #27 went for £461!!!!

Heh, this is actually pretty funny. It looks like Joe Dever is actually buying up his own books on eBay too. I looked at his feedback profile and he's bought quite a few on there. I think he's buying them up, signing and stamping them with his personal seal to increase their value, then selling them on eBay again!

This could either mean he's desparate for cash (!), or that it's a way of giving something back to the fans in thge form of unique merchandise. I think he's probably just broke!

What a shame.

lol, too strange!

Who knows, if he raises enough he may write the last three books, or carry on the 'kegends of lone wolf' series

Having seen a rare Lone Wolf with a PERSONALISED signature go for a hgh sum, I've listed my Magnamuned Companion on ebay just to see what kind of price it might fetch. I've put a high reserve on it which I doubt will be met, so that I can keep it. I'm just curious to see what people might pay for it in that condition with an autograph.

and what happens if the price is met?

It won't be, trust me! But if it is, then I'm very happy for it to go at that price!

You might think this is a mad thing to do, as it costs to money for each item you list on eBay, but I'm curious to see what it's really worth to people.

I wasn't aware that there is a PC game made up for Lone Wolf. I only thought it was in the books.

I just found it on The Underdogs site.

If you are interested here's the link: http://www.the-underdogs.org/game.php?n ... r+of+Death

I haven't tried it yet so I don't know if it's any good or not.

Blimey, I never knew about that. I remember the old Spectrum version of book 1, but this PC game is news to me. I may have been captivated with it at the time, but looking at those screen shots now, it looks like any other side scroller and doesn't make me think of Lone Wolf at all. Nostalgia and imagination are powerful things, and I think I need to leave my memories as they are -- so I won't be playing it...

i think i remember seeing it advertised ages ago, but then i didn't have a PC back then!

Hi Gambit, Beowuuf,
I'm tired of working on conflux ii (in fact I'm not working on it since many weeks!) and I would like to make a release. But I would need some texts from the dedathtrap dungeon. Could you fetch them for me?
Here they are:

*The spirit girl's poem from the blue haze, about the pool.

*the poem on the scroll held by the skeleton, about the manticore.

*the anagrams in the arena, about Scorpions and Minotaure.

Thanks
