No. I've heard rumors of mid-late 90 and/or even early 91 on GEnie, but no
firm dates from SSI.

I regret to announce that--though, as I said, eleventy-one years is far too
short a time to spend among you--this is the end. I am going. Good-bye.

It's probably available at your local computer game store. If not you might want to phone SSI and order them (1-800-245-4525) or if you check out a copy of PC-games or other computer games magazines, you might be able to mail-order it. It costs about $8 and containes *EVERYTHING* you will ever need to know to solve the game, and more! (Please note this is *NOT* a plug for and any of the above products) If all else fails, mail me you questions and I will try to help. __________________________________________________________________ | | |"...and on the eigth day god created the Sauter Mean Diameter." | | - D.W.Senser | |________________________________________________________________|

I have recently purchased this game, and I love it. However, there is a very annoying feature of the game that I dislike very much. I must admit, I am not very good at it yet, therefore my party get squashed pretty oftenly. The thing I don't like about this game is that there is no load game previously saved feature on the menu. The only time you can load a game is when your party is completely wiped out. So usually I just turn it off and start all over again <although that is time consuming too> Did I missed a command in the manual? I don't think so. But if there is anyone who knows how to do this, please let me know. Btw, what are your recommendation for the character combination? How many fighter/clerics/magic users should I have? I am currently at Tap, on my route to remove the second bond, the one where you have to talk to the wizard in red. Any hints are appreciated. Please E-mail, thankx.

You can't backtrack in the middle of an adventure without restarting. >Btw, what are your recommendation for the character combination? How >many fighter/clerics/magic users should I have? I play with 2 other people, each of us running two characters. We're of the firm opinion that you need at least 2 clerics, 2 magic-users, and 1 thief to survive well. Of course, we are using several multi-class characters so that makes it a little easier. J.C. Kern kern@arecibo.aero.org

Help! I'm stuck trying to figure out if it's possible to kill off that massive party of beholders, dark elf lords, high priests of Bane, and rashashkas. Does anyone out there know of any way to do it? Or did SSI just put them in to frustrate me personally?

All I did to get all those scumbags is to cast mass invisbility, enlarge on all the members, haste on all the members before the fight (mass invisibility being most important) and start chopping all the beholders off with fighters, clerics, and backstab them with thieves while repeatedly throwing fireballs to the priests, elves and rashashkas. That should work in 2 or 3 tries. Chainsaw
