If you need a little help with combat in Faerie Tale Adventure, here is a way
to live almost forever. I only invented it on the C64 so I dont know if it will
work on others, but here goes:
In the C64 at least, you take advantage of a bug. Put a write protected data
disk in your drive or some other disk from a different game. Die. When the
computer messes up, don't tell it to format the disk. It will put you back where
you were, but with exactly 0 hit points. Go into some water or get hit by some-
thing before you heal any. Your life will jump to 999. Now the only way you
can die is by a special instant death situation.
(Obviously, I found this out by an accident and subsequent experimentation.)
(The accident was most important, though.)
