Dan,

I too spent a large portion of my childhood with ACS.  Could you possibly
tell me how to find the mouth in Rivers of Light (the one you're supposed to
give to the ghost in the pyramid)?  I edited the game and searched EVERY
SQUARE for it, to no avail.

 Two people who had the same urge at the same time.  I know I had a
 little trouble finding a reference card for the Apple II version, but
 I've since found one and seen about 3-4 of them afterwards.  I did
 spend buckets of time playing with this, though.

  I noticed this too.. I'd call that a mental blackout if anything!
  Somebody
  wanted it badly, and bid way too high, I think. It's not particularly
  rare,
  in my opinion.
 
  Cheers,

  I know it doesn't compare to the amounts the Drashes and the PS Zorks
  have
  been gathering, but this got me
  puzzled:

  No newbies... big bids, for what I'm used to seeing of flat-boxes. Am I

Re: [SWCollect] Adventure Construction Set

2004-04-03 Thread Dan Chisarick
I have very vague memories of that.  I *think* I beat the  
mini-adventures as well as ROL but to be honest, I don't remember.   
Possible I didn't.  I searched Google for hours (figuring you've  
probably already tried that) and the only reference I found was someone  
asking that very same question back in '96 (and guess who that was).

Now I've got to light it up and see if I can't find out myself.  BTW,  
what platform did you play on?  Where did you get the game from?

(There are people here who've beat games that have typos in their  
parsers :)  Did anyone beat Rivers of Light?)
