Hello, can anybody tell me what is written in the yellow Book?. I think it was called "de vermis miteris" and if you try to read it, you are punished with a horrible death. Does it ring?

Thanks for your help

Does it ring????
hmmm I dont know what you mean by that.

The book contains a deadly spell (If I remember right, so when you read it you die)

Its pretty simple really...dont read that book!!!

Isn't it the book you read standing on the pentagram???

[Kearnsy]

hmmm... could be... I played it ages ago but all that I rmember was that a book killed you if you read it.

I think I should play it again before I post another. :bye:

I think it's what kids these days use as slang for 'Does it ring a bell?' or 'Sound familiar?'. Not entirely sure though.

Man I suck at this game. I got up to that monster in the library.

[Kearnsy]

ohhh right. I was thinking maybe it was about the pentagram but that makes far more sense.

That monster in the library is funny!!!
It like a polygonal fat man!!
(Except he isn't impared by narrow book cases!!!)

[Bobbin Threadbare]

I know. He always gets me. I've no idea on what to do there.

Yes, it's that book which contains a deadly spell. There's just one problem: as i remember it was written in Latin ... I hoped, that anyone here could translate it for me. That would be nice!!

Another strange thing i noticed is about: Alone in the Dark II
Remember the part, when the whitch catches you in the house?(a few moments before you take the part of the little girl).

I've downloaded the game from another Abandonia Page, and in this version(after being catched) you still play the girl, but not on the ship!! You are in the Garden outside the house...there is a car you can drive with, and some of the evil guys in yellow jackets playing with instruments. Does anybody know had the same version?!? Because i don't know what to do there

Thanks for any kind of help

Have a nice weekend

Wasn't Alone in the Dark the name of a TV show on Nickelodeon?




IT was Are You Afraid of the Dark
I loved that show
Do you remember the episde with the monster in the pool??
I was scared to swim for days.

yea i used to like that too

hey guys, just found my old CD version of AITD 1. Works fine on WinXP, but without any sound! It lets me select the soundblaster correctly in the setup, as well as having sound in the game disabled and music enabled (although actually there is NO sound at all playing).

I tried dosbox as well - using a vitual D: drive for the cd image and the regular c to c mount. When i try running the game then, it just stays at a black screen without anything happening. Increasing CPU cycles does not lead to an advancement as well.

Anyone know how to set up this game properly in xp with or without dosbox?
