Question about IIGS kids dungeon

Post by Slick »

Actually, I have several.

One, is there any way to win the kid's game? What is the objective? I know that the story with Lord Order and CHaos has nothing to do with this, and Lord Order doesn't appear behind the door with the see through wall spell like he does in the "adult" game.

Two, is there any way to get on the other side of the "shooting gallery"?
I think I've pretty thourghly checked for illusionalry walls (and found NONE) and buttons, yet it's obvious if you step into the pit that there is a key or some object on the far side where the mummies are produced. You see it right before falling down into the pit.

Third, what do you do with the eyes that say "Do not touch me"? In the "adult" game, the two places you see eyes you must use either the mirror of dawn or the magnifer to unlock a puzzle. I've tried every item I can find in the kids game, and gotten no results.

The object of the Kid dungeon is to kill the dragon on the bottom level. It drops a scroll when dead telling you that you've completed the quest.

No. And are you sure about the key? I've not seen it. Are you sure it wasn't an object that you threw to the other side that is still there.

Nothing. They are just decoration as far as I know.

I've uploaded a GIF of the thing in question. To see it, just turn so you are facing the area where the mummies come out (turn right from the way you'd normamly SHOOT the mummies) and step into a pit.

YOU tell me if it's a key or what. As for the way I made the game, I'd just made a quick run to the maze with the kleptomaniacs before collecting the stuff in the shooting gallery. I hadn't thrown anything except a poison dart the whole game.

if that doesn't work, try

although it will subject you to my sometimes twisted sense of humor.

Oh right - I see now. Very curious. I went back and had a quick play of the dungeon to see if I could get there, but there doesn't seem to be any way.... shame. Perhaps it's just a red herring. Have you tried bumping into every single wall in the dungeon? I haven't done that yet, but will try - perhaps there's an illusion wall somewhere that leads to it.

How do you get to the kid's dungeon? I can't find where it's at on this site.

It's part of the Apple IIGS version. Check out the Games Setup Guide on the left to find the downloads. The insturctions on how to access it are also there.

I'm must be blind since I couldn't find it there. I want to run it from my Apple IIGS computer not an emulator. Is there some button you're supposed to push while it's loading? If so then durring which screen and what button?

For the tricks and tips bit on this site:
"In Dungeon Master for Apple II GS, there is a three levels bonus dungeon. You can access it by pressing the Apple IIGS "option" key (mapped to F4 under the emulator XGS/32) while clicking the Enter button on the main screen. This small dungeon contains some creatures and lots of items."
Was unable to (permenantly) kill off ian_scho (Haynuus), Ameena, oh_brother (Westian), money (Falkor), raixel (Petal) and Lord_Bones (Aurek) in the DM D&D game Time's Champions!

CONGRATULATIONS TO THOSE WHO MADE THE GAME WHAT IT WAS - GREAT!
