AAAAAAAAAaaaaaarrrrrrrgggggghhhhhhh!
I'm not very sure what's happening here. There I am, with 7 gems, ready
to get into the Fire castle. In I go...there are 4 symbols. I push
one...CRASH...Guru.
Reboot, reload, into castle, push another symbol...CRASH!...Guru
Reboot, reload, into castle, push yet another symbol...CRASH!...Guru
Reboot, reload, into castle, push last symbol...the magic field fades!
Into next room...CRASH!...Guru.
Possible diagnoses:
(a) The game save disk is a nibble-copied (with X-Copy) version of
my original save disk. I did this when I had a nasty choice of
directions that I wasn't sure about a *long* time back.
(b) Hardware causing trouble? I disconnected my A590 to no avail.
I also have a second floppy drive and the A501 expansion on
my A500. I also have the 1meg Agnus.
I tried loading the game and saving my position onto the old save disk.
That has now trashed the original. I fear now that I may have to do it
all over again...HHHHEEEELLLLPPPP! :-(
