Known Errors:
Bugfixes provided by Bedazzle and Einar Saukas:
- 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.
- There's a second "Room of Misery" misplaced in the middle of Trollywnd. Fixed using POKE 29553,130.
- 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.
- If you type "APEX,TA" then Apex will reply "GLAD TO HELP" but he won't go away. Fixed using the following patch:
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 - Graphics for cyclops arm are corrupted.
- It's possible to CALL objects, however they cannot be taken or examined, and they will float in the air.
- Writing very long sentences will corrupt memory since there's no check for text input length.
Remarks:
first (and only) part of a planned trilogy
