I just finished KQVGA and loved it. I got 162 out of 158 points, is this the most you can get? <p><hr /><div style="text-align:center"><img src="http://malekdarshin.homestead.com/files/catgirl7.gif" style="border:0;"/></div><div style="text-align:center"><img src="http://malekdarshin.homestead.com/files/neko.jpg" style="border:0;height:202;width:300;"/></div><div style="text-align:center"><span style="font-family:Times New roman;font-size:x-small;">Coffins drowned in roses<br />And the war he chose is<br />Fought inside the mind<br />Death becomes compelling<br />When the soul's for selling<br />And the world is blind<br><br />In the maze he wanders<br />Looks about and ponders<br />shadows mock and taunt him<br />And the ghosts that haunt him<br />Chain him to the ground<br />Screams without a sound<br />Burn the castle down</span><hr /></div><div style="text-align:center"><a href="http://pub49.ezboard.com/fgaminggroundz ... <img src="http://malekdarshin.homestead.com/files/junki.gif" style="border:0;"alt="The Junki Knights of Junkyardia."/></a></div></p><i>Edited by: <A HREF=http://pub57.ezboard.com/broyalquestfor ... darshin</A> <IMG HEIGHT=10 WIDTH=10 SRC="http://www.ezboard.com/ezgfx/gicons/black_thatch.gif" BORDER=0> at: 1/13/03 10:35:32 pm<br></i>

162 out of 158??<br><br>I seem to recall there being a bug in early releases of LSL 3 which allowed you to receive points for certain actions more than once, thus getting more points in the game than the maximum, but are you sure you wrote the right thing there? <p></p><i></i>

Could you tell me how you did that? KQ1VGA version 3.0 is being worked on right now and this is one glitch we'd like to eliminate.<br><br><img src="http://httpd.chello.nl/c.vanempel/Nashs ...  <p></p><i></i>

I really have no idea. I did get the mirror using the ring, then I came back later and used the bucket of water on the dragon. That's the only thing I can think of. I seem to remember that I played several Sierra that had the same glitch. I don't think it's a big deal. <p><hr /><div style="text-align:center"><img src="http://malekdarshin.homestead.com/files/catgirl7.gif" style="border:0;"/></div><div style="text-align:center"><img src="http://malekdarshin.homestead.com/files/neko.jpg" style="border:0;height:202;width:300;"/></div><div style="text-align:center"><span style="font-family:Times New roman;font-size:x-small;">Coffins drowned in roses<br />And the war he chose is<br />Fought inside the mind<br />Death becomes compelling<br />When the soul's for selling<br />And the world is blind<br><br />In the maze he wanders<br />Looks about and ponders<br />shadows mock and taunt him<br />And the ghosts that haunt him<br />Chain him to the ground<br />Screams without a sound<br />Burn the castle down</span><hr /></div><div style="text-align:center"><a href="http://pub49.ezboard.com/fgaminggroundz ... <img src="http://malekdarshin.homestead.com/files/junki.gif" style="border:0;"alt="The Junki Knights of Junkyardia."/></a></div></p><i></i>

It does matter to Tierra. They like thier games being as bug/glitch free as possible. <p>The Knight<br><img src="http://sc.groups.msn.com/tn/EE/40/Lordo ... s/3/3a.jpg" style="border:0;"/></p><i></i>

I guess I could play back through and see if I can get 162 again. Now that I know all of the solutions it won't take that long. It'll be sort of a thank you for the great games. <p><hr /><div style="text-align:center"><img src="http://malekdarshin.homestead.com/files/catgirl7.gif" style="border:0;"/></div><div style="text-align:center"><img src="http://malekdarshin.homestead.com/files/neko.jpg" style="border:0;height:202;width:300;"/></div><div style="text-align:center"><span style="font-family:Times New roman;font-size:x-small;">Coffins drowned in roses<br />And the war he chose is<br />Fought inside the mind<br />Death becomes compelling<br />When the soul's for selling<br />And the world is blind<br><br />In the maze he wanders<br />Looks about and ponders<br />shadows mock and taunt him<br />And the ghosts that haunt him<br />Chain him to the ground<br />Screams without a sound<br />Burn the castle down</span><hr /></div><div style="text-align:center"><a href="http://pub49.ezboard.com/fgaminggroundz ... <img src="http://malekdarshin.homestead.com/files/junki.gif" style="border:0;"alt="The Junki Knights of Junkyardia."/></a></div></p><i></i>

That's kinda wierd being able to get more than the total points. <p>The Knight<br><img src="http://sc.groups.msn.com/tn/EE/40/Lordo ... s/3/3a.jpg" style="border:0;"/></p><i></i>

anathoth8 · #10 Post by **anathoth8** » Tue Jan 14, 2003 3:48 am

That means that somewhere you are getting points for doing the same thing more than once, or that somehow you got more than the normal amount of points. <p></p><i></i>

The Knight · #11 Post by **The Knight** » Tue Jan 14, 2003 3:51 am

Hopefully the glitch will be taken care of by 3.0. <p>The Knight<br><img src="http://sc.groups.msn.com/tn/EE/40/Lordo ... s/3/3a.jpg" style="border:0;"/></p><i></i>

Okay, for each climb up the bean stalk I got 2 points. I had a little trouble with the giant so I made 2 extra climbs up the bean stalk. Once I went down the cave and back up the bean stalk, and then back down and back up to get the magic box.

How about "thanks a million"?<br><br>(btw: I'll still need to check this myself because the glitch might have been "accidently" taken care of already in version 3.0)<br><br><img src="http://httpd.chello.nl/c.vanempel/Nashh ...  <p></p><i></i>

It's not unlikely that you've experienced this in other Sierra games. The only case I know of, is PQ1, where you can get one point ovoer maximum. However, that's not even done by exploiting any glitch (!). My guess is they forgot to change the maximum score. <p>Pidgeot<br>-----<br><em>Every error you find is the last one.</em></p><i></i>

Another I remember is the Quest for Glory games. My character is a fighter/thief/paladin/wizard so I do nearly every puzzle in one play though. <p><hr /><div style="text-align:center"><img src="http://malekdarshin.homestead.com/files ... nights.gif" style="border:0;"/></div><br><hr /><div style="text-align:center"><a href="http://pub49.ezboard.com/fgaminggroundz ... <img src="http://malekdarshin.homestead.com/files/junki.gif" style="border:0;"alt="The Junki Knights of Junkyardia."/></a></div></p><i></i>
