cparsley Posted March 19, 2013 Share Posted March 19, 2013 (edited) Waking up in the middle of the night, you find a wierd maze that you are trapped in, with Eye Balls marking entrances and exits from the interior of the maze, Wierd Power doors that won't open without a fight, and ladders without anyway to find a way out, just to plummet further and further into it's depths... Yes, there's lovely gold, silver and platinum lying around, and you can be rich, IF YOU CAN EVER FIND A WAY OUT ALIVE! All play must be done on hardest difficulty (disc/enter start) (Life starts at 12/6), and a picture at the END is required to show the level.

cparsley Posted March 20, 2013 Author Share Posted March 20, 2013 ought to make a good play in, and their scores in LNC, while not the lovely 100k goal I had originally set, let's face it were still quite decent/good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IntellivisionDude Posted March 21, 2013 Share Posted March 21, 2013 (edited) I know nothing about this game. Pretty hardcore starting a game like this off on the hardest difficulty. Especially never playing it before. But i read the manual a few times and after trial and error and some luck i got my first decent score. Didn't get to the Minataur i don't think. But some creature that looked kind of like him killed me. lol Edited March 21, 2013 by IntellivisionDude 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IntellivisionDude Posted March 21, 2013 Share Posted March 21, 2013 Also here is a video of me failing at this. Pay no attention to the video length, i played a bunch of games but i played Tarmin first. I read the manual as well at the beginning. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xSmKQ5lyBC8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm really enjoying this game, (Thank you very much, ghsqb! That was a great gift! ) I'm planning to finish the game in easy and medium for practice. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IntellivisionDude Posted March 22, 2013 Share Posted March 22, 2013 So the point of this challenge is your Treasure Score? I ask because i have gotten farther with a smaller treasure score. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

felson42 Posted March 26, 2013 Share Posted March 26, 2013 Hmmm. I've never played this one. I picked it up off of ebay when I saw it was picked for this round (thanks for giving me the chance to play in). I'll have to give it a shot tomorrow. I just got back from PAX East. It was a blast!

felson42 Posted March 29, 2013 Share Posted March 29, 2013 Well, it took quite a bit of time, but I've gotten a fairly nice score I think. I had gotten deeper in the dungeon on a previous playthrough, and had a nice score, but I ran into a monster that actually made me drop everything in my pack, and all my treasure, and transported me to some random spot in the maze! That was just EVIL. Luckily in this playthrough I didn't run into anything like that. Definitely a fun game. Just took a bit of a learning curve, but the youtube video and the manual helped. 320 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
felson42 Posted March 31, 2013 Share Posted March 31, 2013 Ok I've got to ask. What's up with the enemies in this game that zap all your stuff? I was doing great and had a treasure score of 840 after playing a couple of hours. Then I ran into an enemy and instead of killing me it zapped me to another place in the dungeon and wiped out everything in my pack and set my treasure score to zero! What's up with that? So after 2 hours and thinking I'm going to have a great score I ended up with nothing. Has that ever happened to any of you? Was a really fun game up until that point.

Hey Felson, I understand what happened to you. You got "respawned". Since the objective of the game is to kill the minotaur and not to accumulate loot then in later levels the game gives you the "chance" to continue instead of being killed. When this happens you lose your bag/loot and get teletransported to somewhere else in the maze. Respawning is quite annoying if you are going for high scores (which is not the original purpose of the game). I have been respawned several times in the same game which is quite frustrating if you have spent hours playing and trying to build up loot. In other words, you lose your loot and your bag but you get to keep what you are wearing on you (armour, rings and the items on both your hands). Sometimes I am not carrying with me valuable pick ups like the magic books (tele transportation, wall vision, etc.) or higher keys so as to avoid loosing them in case I get respawned. I simply leave them on the floor in a place that is easy to access and pick them up before leaving the level. Do not forget to pick them up before leaving the level though!!!!

cparsley Posted March 31, 2013 Author Share Posted March 31, 2013 As Oscar has pointed out for me, the goal is to make it out of the maze alive, being reincarnated / respawned is the maze's evil mischievious way of going you thought you could take death as an easy way out? Hahaha, nope! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

felson42 Posted March 31, 2013 Share Posted March 31, 2013 Even death is no escape. Now that's hardcore! I was on a roll when I played yesterday. My treasure was up to 840 largely because I found keys of each color and an invisibility book. So on levels 6 and 7 before I got zapped on level 8 I was able to clean up on treasure. Then I met the wrong enemy and in 2 shots I got zapped back to having zero treasure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cparsley Posted March 31, 2013 Author Share Posted March 31, 2013 YOU DO KNOW YOU DONT NEED A KEY of EACH color, right? Yellow only opens yellow Orange opens Yellow & Orange Blue opens all 3. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Indeed... the blue key is the only one that you eventually need. If you get it take good care of it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
felson42 Posted April 1, 2013 Share Posted April 1, 2013 Played some more today. I keep getting respawned whenever I have a good score. But I did manage to better my score a little bit. 350 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
felson42 Posted April 1, 2013 Share Posted April 1, 2013 OK. One last update before bed. I managed to not get respawned by going horizontally and not going below level 3. 370 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
