[comp.sys.amiga] Faery Tale Adv. save game question

borrowed account which is going away in two days)

I recently bought Faery Tale Adventure, and have been unable to save
a game. I vaguely recall an old discussion of some trick needed to do this,
but my efforts (e.g. moving the joystick while clicking on save) were
for naught.

Could someone please send me mail explaining how you get save game to
work? Without this feature, I believe it will take many extra man-days
or even man-weeks to win.

I orginally had trouble saving my Faery Tale Adventure games in progress until
one day while fooling around I accidentally saved a game.  All I do is have a
formatted disk in df1: and select 'Game', 'Quit', 'Save'.  I dunno why I had
the original trouble.  You could always contact MicroIllusions.  I worte them
about my save game problem and they called(!) back saying I should send my disk 
in for a free upgrade.  Well, not too long after my problem was solved..besides
I was having too much fun to give up my disk!
