exit door.
Some of my friend reached that level, collected all the diamonds needed, and
there still is not exit.
Where is it?

About two years ago, I purchased a game called Emerald Mines by Kingsoft. I thouroughly enjoyed this game. It is one of my favorite games of all time. Unfortunately, my disk eventually went bad. I tried to find the game again at several local dealers, but none of them still carried it. I would really like to have this game again. Also, I heard a rumor about an Emerald Mines II, but never heard anything else about it. If anyone has information on how I can obtain this game I would appreciated it. Thank you.

Our dealer at PU had EM I& II package deal for $44, too steap for me. as for Backing it up, there is a Way to back up EM, ya edit the EM file on a back up copy and alter the Code. (I did it once) I'll find the file saying HOW Well C-ya. . >---Mike, >-- > -------- o A herd of bagels | Michael Figg DSAC-FSD > | | -- oo o o escaping from a deli. | DLA Systems Automation Center > | | -- ooo oo Looking for Lox in | Cols, Ohio mfigg@dsac.dla.mil > -------- o o all the wrong places | CIS: 73777,360 -- yorkw@stable.ecn.purdue.edu Willis F York ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Sig?

I was surprised to see anyone talking about this game at this point, but it reminded me of some problems I had with it. 1. Sometimes I load it and it remembers what level I got to, other times it sets me back to my session before last (but then I reboot, and it remembers how far I got). Did the programmers write their own, buggy, filing system? A couple people here talked about their disks going bad. Also, it seems to me that sometimes it gives you 50 seconds for a level, and other times 80, for the same level, with no apparent pattern. Am I missing something?

On the subject of old games, I had a demo of City Defence(sic) and played the real version for about 6 months THROUGH (every spare minute) until I got totally bored of it. (3,000,000 score or such) Now it is 2 years later, and I want to try again.. a throughly addicting game. Anyone know where/how to get it? I'd even buy a used copy.

It keeps track of how far you've gotten by a file on the disk. If
you boot up with the disk write protected, you'll have that symptom. As
long as you leave the disk write enabled, it should remember where you left
off. It's actually a good reason to make a backup copy and play off the
backup, or to use Emerald Mine II, which stores that stuff on a data disk.
If the copy protection check fails on the initial load, you'll be
able to play the levels, but with a fairly major time penalty. Maybe that's
what you were seeing in terms of the different times/level. I seem to remember
that there was differing times alloted depending on how many levels you
had gotten through, but I'm not sure about that one. (ie., you'd have less
time alloted for level 8 if you've already finished level 35 than if you'd
just started on level 8...)
