I just picked up M:TG and, after installing it and the registry updates, the game is running less-than-perfect. I can't get rewards for two-thirds of the quests, there's no option for me to buy the cards in the "Buy Cards" screen, text is either missing or blinks buy on one click, some options in combat aren't available (cancelling tapped land when you cancel casting, for example), and those are just the ones I remember off the top of my head.
Was the actual game this buggy, or is there something wrong with the version on the Abandonia site? |

There is no version here! LOL
It got removed - so you're unlikely to get much feedback about the specific version. I've got a copy I got off HotU, and it works fine; so it may well be the version, but bear in mind, from what I've seen, games get pretty heavily tested before they appear here. |

To buy a card press Y after you highlighted the card you want. There is no option to cancel tapped lands. You just need to be carefull. I don't think it's a bug, by M:TG old standard rules if you tapped something by mistake you could not untap it again. I think this rule still apply in today rules but nobody follow it in casual play. If you want to play a specific action at a specific time in your turn you need to click on your "boxed scale" to the left at the right time and put a red stop on it so the game stop for you at that time. You can do the same on the computer scale. So, unless the first problem is a real problem (which I doubt) there is no bugs. At least none that you mentioned. |

Sure enough, the tapped land issue was just my lack of familiarity with the old rules. Whoops! :whistle:
As to the others, thanks for the tips, all of you. Buying cards with the "Y/N" keys works great, quest rewards finally started to come in when I clicked in the correct part of the screen (go figure...), and while I'm still a bit hazy on the spirit link thing, I'll check for that white cross, Eagle of Fire. Thanks again, everyone! k: Now, fear my Ornithopters and their Unholy Strength! FEAR, I SAY! |

Everyone. Try updating it. I own the original version and it was buggy like hell.
The CPU cheated all the time, took too long to take actions, and several quest/gameplay bugs, too. Worked fine after update....

There are some display issues with the game, mainly due to runnning under XP when it worked better with Win 95 - the lack of text for some of the quest screens and so on. Anyone know/remember how to save? I can't remember back to when I played it last. Lure/Basilisk (or Cockatrice) is the way forward I say! |
