| Remarks | first (and only) part of a planned trilogy |
| Known Errors | Bugfixes provided by Bedazzle and Einar Saukas: <UL><LI> In the original Gargoyle Games release, asking Ai about door to Paradise provides answer about Tertia instead. This bug was later fixed in Rebound and Your Sinclair re-releases.<LI> There's a second "Room of Misery" misplaced in the middle of Trollywnd. Fixed using POKE 29553,130.<LI> Your experience raises whenever you enter a new special room, except for room "word is no word" where experience is raised outside. Fixed using POKE 44978,88.<LI> If you type "APEX,TA" then Apex will reply "GLAD TO HELP" but he won't go away. Fixed using the following patch: <PRE> org $917d call $f820 org $bec2 db $80 org $f820 ld a,($af57) ; IF PEEK ($af56)<>2 OR PEEK($af57)<>17 THEN RETURN cp $11 ld a,($af56) ret nz cp $02 ret nz pop af ; (remove return address from stack) jp $918b ; ELSE GOTO $918b</PRE><LI> Graphics for cyclops arm are corrupted.<LI> It's possible to CALL objects, however they cannot be taken or examined, and they will float in the air.<LI> Writing very long sentences will corrupt memory since there's no check for text input length.</UL> |
