I wish there were.  I've played some of the adventure games around,
but this one was really fun.  Not too complicated and the
character-joining idea was quite different.  I know the glossy stuff
in the package promised more scenarios, but nobody here has talked
about them.  I don't think they exist.

I did destroy the statue once, for fun, but I don't have any helpful hints.  
Maybe I used a wand to do it?

I think you should choose a weapon and stick with it.  You get to
"train" your character this way.

This is a problem with the game - I always ended up with
proficiencies in really useless things like acid and fire which
basically don't exist.  I did get Titus up to near 50% for swords (or
whatever the category is).  Maybe more, it's years since I played it.
