Does anyone remember the April day fools cheat for DM or was it CSB? I know it doesn't work, but i just thought it would be good for a laugh!!!

Something about a Lord Lib??????? or other. Anyone?

Pause the game, press all four largest spell symbols (MON ZO GOR SAR) and type 'Lord Librasulus smites thee down'...hey presto, nothing happens ; ) Except to people who don't pause and get a fireball in the face

It was even more involved than that - you had to hold Left Alt down while typing, then when you unpause the game, you still have to kill the Dragon. If done correctly, the Dragon leaves behind the Firestaff. Well, he would if it wasn't a joke...

Or tell people that it's been recreated in one of the clones so that it stays alive for another 15 years : )

yea... here's an idea how ;)

just you know go to cheat sites ect and say sometihng like "return to chaos has all the chewats of DM" or in this case a csb clone with csb cheats. when they try it out, hey what gives? umm there never was that cheat ^_^

This only "works" for the Dragon "Mongor" (the hint oracle gives this name), the one on the Ku-Level which ate up a whole chainmail + an axe.

but in the fires file in csb a firestaff exists, so maybe its really somewhere in this game...
btw, can anyone get me an amiga-version (to be emulated), where i can alter the dungeon with DMute?

and how does it work, that several objects switch their position in each new game?

The firestaff exists but is non-functional in CSB - I tried it by DMuting a CSB save game file. You can't find it in the Dungeon itself. It really shows how much of a hurry FTL were in to get CSB into the shops - it shares a lot of code from DM that simply isn't used at all.

Random object placement is handled by hidden gigglers and lots of hidden teleporters...
