On and off for the day. About 3 hours total, including the time it took to get it working properly :D

Is there a particular place that you have to drop off the treasure you collect? I hoarded it all in that first main room with the 4 stairs that go up. I'm thinking that maybe I was supposed to put it all in the room by the gate.

Ah... I didn't know what game what you were talking about, but I just played it and I remember it!! That's crazy to think we used to play games like that back in the days... heh, good times.

I used to get MAD framerates playing that game. Like, 3 FPS!

Yea, you have to put the treasures in the first room you start in. At least that's what I remember...

no, you have to have the treasure on you when you go out the gate for it to count.

for example, keep picking up treasure until you are full, then dump it at the main gates. then, once you've finished the entire game and can open the front gate go there, drop your sword and helmet, and anything that isn't a treasure, pick up everything that you dumped (until you can hold no more).

Oh the agony. :(

Those little ogres are just too fast. Somebody emailed me a dos 6.0 emulator called DOSBox, and it was too fast. I tried running it on a Windows 98 bootup disk, and that was too fast.

Isn't there anything I can do? :confused:
