Nah, but if there's a bug, I'm embarrassed--Shadowgate was done during my 
playtesting days.  Actually, I believe that the state machine for the 
dragon allows one item to be taken before you get flamed, the idea being 
that you need to be able to get the shield without getting toasted in the 
process.  After that, I believe that all important (i.e. guarded) items 
get you torched when you drag them.

And I can't claim all of the credit for Deja Vu II by a long shot!  Check 
out the "About..." box for the full picture, but my special thanks go to 
Mitch Adler, Steve Hays, and Brian Baker who really lent major, major 
hands with the coding.

Just because I work for Apple Computer, Inc. doesn't mean that I believe 
what they believe, or vice-versa.
