there a re a few more passages in the game you don't need to complete the game.
Right however the game almost never uses them, maybe items will be

items are not dropped in passages randomely as a rule even main ones.

You really should try beating the game without a single cheat code. I

Along this same line, there's a game I've been looking for called Castaway.
It was an old text adventure for dos, and I don't think it's been ported to
any other systems. From what I remember of it, you wash up on an island
after your ship crashes, being the only survivor, and you have to find

James,
Was this on the testing server or the main one? If it was on the testing
server, underscores are no longer allowed in names. If you already have a name
registered, you can keep using your usual underscore, but when creating new
names it won't allow it. Since I cleared the records

The current released version is 2.8. The test version is 2.9. so check to
