To all people who have bought (or are considering buying) Faery Tale
Adventure:
News on the bug in the SAVE feature of the game has filtered back to
MicroIllusions (I should know; I was one of the ones who brought it direct to
David Joiner's attention), and a corrected version was put on the store
shelves on Monday. What had happened was this:
At the duplication level, a disk copy-protection was put onto the program.
Sad to say, though, the copy-protection addition overwrote part of the SAVE
function through the CP programmer's error. There were only 1000 copies of
Faery Tale Adventure made with this problem. Those that have the buggy
versions can contact MicroIllusions about a free replacement/upgrade (You no
longer have to quit the game in order to save the game...After selecting Save,
and clicking on the letter you want the game saved under, the program returns
to the Game menu instead of terminating).
I am in no way affiliated with MicroIllusions or any of it's subsidiary
companies; I had one of the buggy versions, and took it back to the store
where I bought it, and got a replacement free.
