I personally tended to use markers to mark passages I'd already explored
myself, so that I would know which passages to try.
I found myself that though I do have a problem with spacial orientation, the
same sort of memorization of significant places and land marks I used in
real life worked in shades of doom, for eample if I remember rightly in
level 1 there is a westward passage that finiishes at a right turn with a
door ahead through which is a lot of monsters, so I know once I reach that
point that I am nearly at the end of the level.
All the best,
Dark.

Hi Lindsay,
Sorry, I am not sure how to advise you as it sounds like you have an
issue with spatial orientation which is fairly important in playing
games like Shades of Doom. Where and when to place markers is largely
a personal judgment where you think they will do you the most good.
There is no specific place where you must put them. Only put them
where you think they will do you some good.
For example, when I was first learning my way around the game if I
came to a three-way intersection I would drop a marker there, because
regardless of what corridor I picked I knew I would have to come back
to that intersection eventually. Therefore I wanted to mark it so I
would know it when I came back to it. The game is full of three-way
intersections and it is helpful at first to get an idea where those
intersections are so you can come back to them and go another
direction later on.

Thomas, please could you advise me on where to mark on that game, I often
end up back where I've already been, and get very frustrated.
