This is the game that made me want to be a game designer. I remember playing it when I was 6 years old, and I think the last time I played it I was 27. One of my all time favorite games and one that emits an intense feeling of nostalgia.

I have still (STILL) never gotten past level 4 of Mangar's dungeon. For some reason when I turn all the walls into doors and vice versa, I cannot get to the stairs! At this point I think it's better that I never defeat Mangar, it might make me want to stop playing.

Yeah I had the Guidebook back in the day. Otherwise you'll spend eternity mapping each dungeon by hand. Has anyone finished it without the guidebook?

Yep, in college on my Apple IIe. Used lots of graph paper. I think 10% of the time involved was trying to get past level 1, I could never walk down a street. Once I got things under control, it was fairly smooth sailing.

I feel pretty stupid but I have no idea how to get this to run I'm still lacking in vista knowledge...
Help? Please?

You need DosBox: http://www.abandonia.com/vbullet/sho...ewpost&t=14406

So is it just me, or there's something weird with the controls of this game in DOSBox? Yesterday when I played it, I used the arrow keys to move, and sometimes my party just turned in another direction, or kept going forward, which almost every time ended in a disaster, do to me getting lost
Does anyone have the map for the city? Would be a nice extra, for not getting lost completely.

It may help, Hun, if you were to use the left arrow to go left and the right arrow to go right...


<== Left
Right ==>



It does it for me too, sometimes and I've found a fix is to mess with the cycles until the game runs smoothly.
The number changes depending on the machine, so try changing dosbox to use % cycle changes (lower than 500 step, but I prob don't remember that correctly) and see if it helps you, as it has me.

[oh yeah]
I'm making maps for this and Kyrandia bits in Excel - I'll transcribe them when complete. Give me a while...

Yaay it worked! Thanks for the tip, I never lowered cycles below 3000 before

Man, I played this series years ago, and it was a lot of fun. It's great to see it here for free. However, these days, the more modern cRPGs (late 90s) pull me back if I have free time to spare during the work week. I tried to get back in, and, well, I'm glad I played it the first time around, but there's not much room these days for another round.
