About three weeks ago I bought Faery Tale Adventure (Microillusions) and have been playing it off and on since then. This is by far the BEST computer game I have ever played -- and I've played about 300 games in my time (of course, they were on c-64). Anyways, I am going crazy trying to solve this adventure -- I have actually already won the game by utilizing what looks like a bug in the map, but now I want to win the way it seems that you are suppossed to win. To do that, I have collected 4 of the statues, but just can't get that other one. Today was most frustrating, because I was crusing around area XXXX (no spoilers yet) and found the hidden city. Then, just when I went into it, the silly thing disappeared! So if anyone has info on how to bring up the hidden city, or other ways to get the last statute, please let me know. Before anyone asks, I will volunteer to give voluminous amounts of spoilers about the game. I have info on getting the four statues, of course, plus the temple of doom, or whatever the endgame adventure is called. I can also think of plenty of "interesting features" (bugs:-) that I have found that are sort of humorous. So, in trade, can anyone help me with the hidden city? Another thing, I can't make head or tail out of "pixle grove" and what is so mysterious about it. Any clues? /* WARNING - Minor spoilers follow */ First, the Swan is NOT a red herring -- you just have to find the witch to get it to work. Second, try visiting the friendly sorceress many times, and talking a lot... One other request -- I am about 581 articles behind in comp.sys.amiga (been spending my time with the game...) so I would appreciate any info by mail if its convenient for you. If there is interest, I'll send spoilers or other info back by posting. -- Dan Green -- ARPA: hsgj@tcgould.tn.cornell.edu UUCP: ihnp4!cornell!batcomputer!hsgj BITNET: hsgj@cornella
