It's a fucling 20-year old DOS game a few obscure fans are playing over the internet with no prizes or publicity, who cares if people cheat? Who would care enough to actually resort to cheating?!

Ah, I think I made a save in the overworld after those 8 stupid deaths in crystallus. I think I'll continue where I saved instead of starting over just to be honorable. My ammo count is good. Lives are fleeting though :bloody
Everyone keeps complaining about fire isle, but the one good thing about it is that extra life in the beginning. Every time you die, you get the life back. I think it was intentionally designed that way. :dopefish

That doesn't stop it from being frustrating to have to play through again so many times, though.

Well, on hard, you have to pass 2 berks b4 getting that life. I think I have a reliable way of getting past them both, but it involves waiting for the 2nd one to go near the door and then running left, so that when u come back, he's still far away and u have enough space to jump back to the pole. If you go down the secret passage to the extra life, you see the berk again and he moves and its mucked up.

There is also a contigency I developed if that happens, but it seems to take much longer for the berk to get in the right spot.

So in the end, I believe there is a reliable technique for Isle of Fire on hard. I have videos if anyone's interested.

BTW, I for 1 care if ppl cheat, cuz I like to know where I and every1 else really stands. It is a competition after all. Doesn't mean I care to the point of starting a flame war against cheaters, just means I care to a degree.
The Viking II lander actually did land on a 'rock' on Mars.

Haha, I wonder if that's a typo or you've written 'dopedish' on purpose, but it's fitting.

I am sure at least one person in the Keen Modding community could pull it off.

It was a typo. I will do a preview of my longer posts, but I have a tendency not to look over my posts if they are only a line or two. For whatever reason, that post slipped through the cracks!

That'd be so great. 4 Keens together. Like the new Mario game on the Wii, a remake of Super Mario Bross 3 :)
