I was wondering if anyone out there has any hints on the game Alternate Reality by Datasoft. I have mapped out the entire city and still have only found 6 of the 13 guilds. If anyone out there could give any info on locating more I'd be grateful. Also, not being a DD player, I don't know what Armor is stronger then which, also what weapons are stronger. Some info for any AR adventurers out there. I just recieved my newsletter last week. The Dungeon is planned for release by the end of September. The ST version of the city is also planned for release at the same time. I think that an Amiga version is being considered too. Phil Paone

This a reponse to Phil Paone's inquiries to Datasoft's
"Alternate Reality".......
Phil, you've said that you have mapped out the entire city...
Oblviously, if you only found 6 guilds, there are still some
"secret passages" to still be found.... If you need to know
what armor, weapons, potions, etc.. will do for your character,
try going to any bookstore that carries the line of D&D material,
and buy the D&D survival guide by Gary Gygax for about $13. It
will go into detail about most items.. If you need assistance
right away.... plate armor is the BEST to have, especially if
is magicked like it is in "Wizard's Crown". I prefer a strong
battle axe or a longsword, since these weapons will keep all
monsters at bay.
It's good to hear that Datasoft is coming out with the "Dungeon"
soon because "The City" was getting tiresome..... This game
is basically a mapping of the city and a way to get your
character's attributes increased... Well, if anyone would like to
know anything else that I have discoverd in "The City" or just
want to talk about other D&D games, send e-mail to:
