Anybody loved the old beat-em-ups on the Genesis?
About a day or so ago, an online fan-team released the definite versions of their Streets of Rage Remake project . The name is kind of a misnomer, since it's not so much a remake of the first game, but rather a collection package that contains most of the stages of the original three games in some f...

Re: O.K. I'm stuck
The gnome (not leprechaun) is a reference to the old fairy tale about Rumplestiltskin. Except that's not this gnome's name. Sometimes it's wise to think backwards.

It's along the northern edge of the domain. If you see a Sharkee, just leave the screen before it sees you.

Re: Can't finish off Ad Avis
Specifically, the fighter's way involves getting close to Ad Avis and pushing him over the edge while ducking lightning balls he throws at you. Since reversal would negate the threat of those lightning balls (breaking the challenge of the confrontation), the game forces a reversal-endowed fighter to...

Re: Can't finish off Ad Avis
Then the game wouldn't have made you solve it the wizard's way, but the fighter's way instead.

Finish Ad Avis off the wizard's way. That'll work. One of your spells can prevent that saurus thing.

Re: Possible to refurbish QFGIV?
Like others said, remaking QFG4 for the sole sake of a few small gripes (like better audio playback or lipsyncing) is like building a new house because one of the doors of your old one started squeaking. Since Dosbox and the patches available at Sierrahelp fix a lot of the harsher bugs in the game, ...

Re: When you hit F12 to save a Screen Shot, where does it go
The filename should be scrnshot.bmp. If it's not in the game folder itself, it might be in the "My saved games" subfolder folder of your "my documents"-folder.

Re: Why can't I rescue Tanya in QFG IV?
As a magic user, I believe you also need to get the Ritual of Release spell from the Faery Queen. Not sure about the thief. Make sure to exhaust all her ask-about options.

Re: What does Manannan want to eat? (As a chore)
No need to cook. Just give him anything edible that's not surrounded by a blue glow. There's 4 items in total that'll qualify and all can be given to the wizard to improve his mood. (or at least persuade him not to punish you)

Re: The GlobalInt-debug option
Some of them were added, then became obselate but were never removed. Stats used to be recorded for monsters only after the diary was found. This was changed later. About the trash mirror, we implemented a safety net based on a question from a beta tester asking if the hero waited around Raseir unti...

The GlobalInt-debug option
The blue frog mode was mostly used by us developers to quickly test things and after being unlocked is mostly used by players to cheat. One of the least exciting parts of the debug menu is the global int option, which sets the value of a large amount of variables used in the game. Those variables ar...

Make them snooze. You created just the thing for this earlier in the game.
