Kinda defeats the purpose of the game, doesn't it?) > -- ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~\ lineater, \~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ if you're going to look for ways to cheat, you might try looking in the executable for the rogue's name (i.e. what you type in for the name) that allows you to create anything, scrolls, weapons etc. It's literally right there in front of you in the code. nuff said.. but i agree with you it takes all of the fun out of the game on another subject; is anyone out there playing Phantasie I ? (if you like rogue, you will fall in love with this game) i have gotten all of the rings and runes and found the black knight's dungeon but i can't get him, what am i doing wrong ????? -- ---- These are days for the locust to eat - Winston Churchill Name: James M.
