[comp.sys.amiga.games] Why do I play this stupid *&$#)&^ game???

cs170703644@vger.nsu.edu) ((Werjun), Norfolk State University) (01/31/91)

I have another DMII question.  Maybe more than one, who knows?
 
I have found a room where there are fireballs flying around, gold scorpions
abound, and there is a green button to push.  I could not see what the green
button did, if anything.  So I pushed it again.  And when I did, it became
a green gem that came off into my hand.  Is this good for anything?
 
I have been all over what I think are hte first two levels, and picked up
everything I can find that looks useful.  To the best of my knowledge, there
are no more secret rooms, invisible walls, etc.  I cannot get into Death Row,
and cannot find my way to the DDD again.  I 'm getting very disgusted.
 
I am even to the point where I let my guys fall into pits, just so we can have 
some fun killing worms and eating the remains.
 
Any suggestions?  I am about to give up, because I don't seem to be making
any progress whatsoever.  I can't even find the Cistern again.....

Jean-

 Why do you play that stupid game?

 Because it's there? Probably the same reason I play it.

 RE: Fireball room, gold scorpions, green gem etc.

 1. I can't help you on death row, but I can help you get to DDD.
    It's just around the corner from fireball hallway- Remember some
    sort of black doorway? It's immediately to your right as you enter
    into a room before the gold scorpions- see my map below...






                                                    ^

The door if I remember has no keyhole, and is similar to another black door
on KU- The above is part of ROS, right?  Anyway, I got so p.o.'d at the
darn door that the only thing I could do was hack at the damn thing, and
guess what? It broke open.  Going up should lead you to a BUNCH of
invisible secret walls that eventually send you back to DDD. All you have
to do is
                1. Map it (Hint: There is one trickey square)
    2. Kill about 6 or so dragons.

As I said there are a bunch of secret walls that make up a series of rooms
and passages that will lead you to DDD- my hand drawn map has about 80 or
so secret dungeon sections (squares on mt grapg paper).

BTW- if you get through Death Row door, let me know.  I'd keep the gem, it
might come in handy, though I also know not what it does.

RE: DDD being "just around the corner"....well it's not TOO far away, 
but it's on the next level! There's no "black door" - that's on another 
level. And as for Death Row...you can't get in there from this side! 
You don't wat to go in there anyway, it's just a hassle, no treasure 
or anything! ALSO! The green gem...you need to have it to open the 
door to the stairs to the Dragon Level!

There is no way to get through the Death Row door from the scorpion
side.  The only way 'in' is by finding a particular keyhole on the
DDD level, and using the lockpick on it.  Bingo, you're in!

Chris
