    I do like the additional things like jumping.  It makes things more
realistic but,  I dislike the fact that you cannot use the keyboard for
movement.  I thought the keyboard made moving around in tight spaces easier
in the last two Ultimas.  All in all though I love the game so far.  Jusrt
seems a little toughr moving around.

         Thanks,
             Dave

David,

The mouse interface is the easiest part of the game, wait until you have to 
start spellcasting. Just line yourself up with the arrow. Remember the 
diagnols are at the corners and you can line your jump up with the arrow that
extends for the MOUSE just practice a little and you will get the hang of
it.

Thanks,
DanO

  Hey,  I just wanted to know if this was the complaining boot?...  I've been
having some serious problems with the mouse interface... the mouse works but
all of the avatar's movements are very clumsy.  I can't seem to get anything
done.  Fighting is hard to do, jumping up to a ledge is almost impssible and 
jumping to a little toadstool looking thing in the middle of a lake to get to
a chest IS impossible.  You got any tips on just getting around and getting 
things done??

     Dave

You will find all keys from Rabadin??? in his castle.... Once you destroy
him you will want to speak with Siranush in the NW corner and she will tell
you what you need to now. But, the keys are in his castle search bodies and
under stuff..

Thanks,

Dan, I had to use Norton text editor to change my name from the  uploaded
saved mission.  I found even before I changed my name that I  have to do a
mission about 20 times before I get credit. For example:   I finished sandra
goodins mission to blockade point alpha on the 21st  try.  Now I am in eden
trying to kill Jones.  I am on my 8th time, I  kill ALL at nav point 1, but
Jones isn't there, or anywhere in that or  the adjoining sector???  I come
back to Capella, and I'mtold I didn't  finish my mission???  I was not asking
for a cheat to make myself rich  or powerful, all I wanted was to get credit
for the missions the nav  computer, and the people at the rendevous point
tell me I completed!   That isn't a lot to ask for, that the reason for the
game, right?
As far as Strike Commander goes, even odds isn't a lot to ask for  either! 
They can hit and take me out 29 out of 30 times.  I called  tech support, the
one time I was lucky enough to get through ( I should  have played the lotto
that day), and was told to use AB and hit the  flares every 1 second.  Well
that only seems to work 1 out of 30 times?   How about a supernova option to
give me a fighting chance?  Maybe THAT  would distract their flares.  And
while we are at it, how about a  Neutron missle to kill the industructable
(novice setting intelligent,  easy hit, unlimited ammo) enemies.  I would
think 3 missle near hits  (or hits) plus 20 diferent hits buy 20mm ammo would
take out a Abrahams  tank???  I love the games, don't get me wrong, I just
want even odds.   Then if I lose I know its my fault, and I'll just have to
practice  more.  I piston driven paper airplane against the stealth fighter
is  not my idea of a fair fight.  If 1 missle or 3 or 4 guns hits take out 
my plane, it should do the same for theirs!  Also if I had the his  ratio of
their missles I would have completed the entire set of  missions in 3 hours!

No, we aren't doing AMIGA programs. WC was released by Mindscape Europe for
the European Markets.

Once you turn each world to its respective color just go through the gate
appears. Now, at the last one you will see a ALTAR with Four Pillars that you
can not get through. If you ate DREAMSPICE (plant on any grave) you would
have dreamed of being in there and were able to throw out the BR gem. Now it
should be outside the AREA where you are at and you need to pick it up as
well as use the Altara's Sceptre.

The Helm of Courage is an ITEM of POWER that you will need to get past a
certain person in the game. There weight is different and there value is one,
two, then three. They increase in value as they lower in weight.

I am sorry the only thing that would cause that would be (Unlimited AMMO or 
INVULNERABILITY) Not cheating, features of game.

You have to have a very good angle and firing range usually between .8 and
1.2  I have had no problems in hitting them though very hard and you spend
ALOT of  time dodging, you can hit them. We do not edit save game games.
THERE is  nothing wrong with them that would cause the mission to be
incomplete in PRIVATEER. Also, we do not have a character editor for the
game. The ones on the BBS are uploaded by other players.

If you read the book near one of the keys it says to join them on the
Serpent Altar. If you NE of the Fire and Ice Pillars there is a pedestal slab
with lots of Serpents around it. Just both keys on the surface and they will
make a  single key that you can use upstairs. Also, if you have completed the
test for  the Gargoyle king you can speak to him again and he will open the
entrance to  Monitor.

Thanks,
DanO

You will notice that there is a glowing facet on the large gem. You will
want  to walk into the gem when that facet is lit and you will be teleported
to a  different portion of the game. As you go along more facets will open to
a  total of 8.

I do not understand? It works on another drive, then why do you want to
install it to a different one. If you install the game to a Bernouli then you
might run into problems with a SCSI drive. Are you using a boot disk, what
is  your exact configuration, and please get the entire error message?

If you look carefully at the blackrock gem, you will notice it has 8 sides to
it, you will also notice one of the sides is a litter shade of blue than the
others, all you have to do is walk into that side yo will be teleported to
another world.
