Unlimited points Hi Guys, I played Dragon Wars in Europe in '89 on an Amiga 500. It was this and Gunship (VIC20 or maybe VIC64, I don't remember) that occupied my off time. I was hooked... hooked like a starving Large Mouth Bass on a treble hook...like a cartoon junkie on pixilated crack... like... like... *shudder* Ugh... anyways, although I don't remember the details, I thought I would offer this cheat for those who just want to walk in and toss the boss and end the game. But before you read it, just remember that you will not play with the same challenges as before. That being said, there was a place inside one of the caves or caverns that had a wall, or maybe a rope, preventing anyone from falling off. At one point, a message displayed, stating something about how it looked down there or something to that effect. You then had the option of jumping off into it or continuing on. I seem to recall there being flames. If you jump off, another message displays, commenting on your bravery or something or other, and lets you know that you feel better, or stronger... I don't remember the details. Do this about a million gazillion times. Another way of putting it is you may not be able to elevate the particular stat it affects high enough in the same day. You may have to restart the game each time before the event will allow another opportunity. Each time you bail off, you will be sent back to some location in purgatory with two extra strength points. Build them up and you will be Pile Driving Superman before you know it. I have no idea if this is extremely accurate, but the basic idea is there, and once you see the pattern, you will figure out the rest. Apologies for not having a more detailed path to follow, but it has been a very long time. I looked around the blog a little bit for this tip and didn't see it, so I hope this helps someone who has been wandering purgatory for 25 years to find freedom and closure. Happy trails, and say hi to Humbaba for me. Morty |

Hnnnng Downloading it worked, thanks. But now there's an issue with the game itself, how do I recover magic points? I can't find anything on it in the manual. |

| DarthHelmet86 | It is possible the PDF is to big to load well over the internet into your browser. Best idea is to right click the link and save link as, that way it will be on your computer for viewing whenever you feel like. |

w Now, I really like this game so far. It's actually the first western RPG I've played. [I've actually started over a few times, just to play with the stats.] But here's a problem, the Manual will not load! I tried both my desktop and my sister's desktop and it wouldn't load on either. It's not the reader, because the reference card came up just fine. Both were running firefox 4 if that's of any notability. |

I enjoyed this game immensely; even more so on the Amiga. The music from the amiga was very nice and mood setting. Transferring characters from Bard's tale was also a nice tough. Seemed back then there were games you could transfer from Ultima III, Wizardry, Bardstale and maybe more. A very interesting feature I must say. In continuity I've read some say that after the ending in Bard's Tale II the heroes went to adventure elsewhere and ended up in Dilmun (if i recall that was the name from memory). They probably ended up there by ship or something thing being a set of islands. Later after the demise Namtor the heroes came back to their hometown of Skara Brae only to find it razed and destroyed by Tarjan. I always wondered what happened to the other towns from bards II. I think an epic remake of the entire series (if you wanted to include Dragon Wars) would have been nice. Only thing I found that was remotely close was Devil Whiskey but I didn't care to fork over money for that project. |

I remember I kept restarting the game all the time with the same characters (it allowed you to restart with the characters at their pre-restart level and skills) because I kept getting into areas which were to tough, because I ran out of areas which weren't. And each time I tried to find a different way of leaving Purgatory (the starting city). One of the main problems with the game is the ability to lose a game essential item irreversibly, which would force you to restart once you understood what you did.(such as the statue feet under the ruined city near purgatory) Coupled with a very small inventory you can see how this can become a real problem. But otherwise the game is very good. |

This game is NOT part of the Bards Tale Trilogy as is erroneously listed. It just happens to be a wonderful game that was also made by Interplay. I spent more time as a kid getting up early before high school so I could spend some quality time playing this on my C64 Clone, til I accidentally saved my game over the original files on the disk and lost it forever
