Thumbs up A forgotten gem in game history.

I still remember the batch file I made to put the entire game on a Virtual RAM Drive. I got it to run so smoothly on my old 386.

I also remember being scared to death running down corridors away from very scary looking monsters! As a 10-year old when I first played it, it made me panic. I didn't want to see the skull when I died! And monsters or people, you could correspond with anything or attack it, even if its friendly. If you have a business deal with a goblin go sour, and he is upset already, he will become hostile, the music will change, and suddenly you must defend your shady business practices. Or run.

Anyway this game is extremely awesome, and I can not believe it gets overlooked as often as it does. The sequel is a little hard to get started, but the first one has a degree of social immersion in a 3d environment that no modern game has really come close to.

Question UU1osesiot

i don't get you, yoga. you've beaten games that make me squirm and yet you never found the patience to beat a game i've beaten w/o a single FAQ.

although to be fair, i took months to beat this game because i got stuck with a boring subquest and decided to relax by spending ~2 months reading LotRs(all 3 books) before getting back to it.

for its sequel, labyrinth of worlds, i just read a walkthrough as soon as i got stuck with that listener imp thing...

:Titan:

My poor axe wielding druid woman is stuck trying to get the stupid Blade part for the Sword of Justice. I've tried 'grabbing' all the vine covered walls in the most SE corridor which leads to downstairs, the corridor and rooms of the Thieves Storerooms, and almost all the walls in every room around the moat I know I need to drain to gain access to the Blade. What am I overlooking? I'm dying of frustration here, thanks!

If it isn't late already, the place where you find a switch to drain the water on the southeast part of lv3 is very near the area really. There should be a magic light mace near the water that will be lowered. Now, on the northern wall there should be a place with vines growing on the wall, and isolated (i think), now use the see button several times and you will take the vines out and this will reveal a door and inside, the lever will be, ok? k:
