I hope you don't mind the game question here, but I think this problem might be ST specific (I asked this question to someone who had the Apple II version long ago, and he didn't have this problem). I can't seem to get any provisions. I always starve to death. I see wandering shopkeepers who ask me if I want to buy apples, but I can't find a way to buy them. I just keep getting the same query. Thanks. Todd Fujinaka todd@media-lab.arpa ~somewhere!mit-eddie!mit-media-lab!todd P.S. CompuClub finally came through and delivered Ultima II a week after they promised it.

Well, if it's the same as the C64 version, you can (o)ffer the shopkeepers money, but you won't get anything from them. The only way I know to get food is to go to a food shop (they have names like McDonald's or Alfred's Fish and Chips). Not every town has a food shop. Try looking in different towns.
