I was wondering if anybody remembers or plays or has played this game.
If so, perhaps you can identify or answer some of the questions I have
regarding the issues I've encountered in the game.
I've just begun to play this game again and have re-discovered its
apparent bugs.
First off, corpses can sometimes spawn new monsters. Especially if you
drag a corpse. I'm not sure what is causing this except maybe how the
game programming links corpses to monsters incorrectly.
Secondly, random items appear during the game as can be seen while
walking around or swimming in the ocean. Sometimes these spawned
random items will be in unreachable places. For example, inside a
wall, or at the bottom of the ocean wall area etc. This is probably a
bug as well, the program isn't error checking where the item is
randomly placed. Or perhaps I don't know it yet, but there is a
telekinesis spell which allows you to take items stuck in the walls?
Next, I have found that the condition of being poisoned seemed to be
broken. I was poisoned once by a wyvern and died after one "5 second"
turn. I had over 100 hps left and I had killed the wyvern. I also had
the cure poison potion in my sack and was about to retrieve and use it.
Does anyone know why this happened?
This game's documentation is definitely lacking and many aspects of the
game I think are unexplained and mysterious. For example, there is a
blacksmith in town but nowhere does it describe how to interact with
this character. Other interaction anomalies are with NPCs including
the sheriff, Liz, or priest. Does anyone have insight into this?
It's kind of odd that I have such a keen interest to a game like this
even with all its problem issues. Maybe it's just that I had at one
time played it and just wish it can be completed one day.
Thanks in advance,
Johnson Chen
