It was very interesting to read all the reactions to this game... I didn't catch anybody mention my favorite trick though... at 35 pages I could have missed it though
I'd always beat the guard at the start of level 8 by putting down my sword and drawing it up again and lunging after he took the bait by thinking I was off guard. I guess it can be called an exploit but when I was 11, all my friends thought it was clever of me to figure it out. It was definitely interesting from a game mechanics point of view.
I remember when I spent an hour everyday at this game for a month till I could complete it with 38 minutes left. Ahh... the memories.
I think I have explored every nook and cranny of the game. The only "trick" I haven't done... is getting the level 5 potion. I am convinced that it is impossible without a cheat, and only serves to play the "your shadow is out to get you" story.
