You were expected to make a copy of the second floppy (B) (really floppy back then) in order to save characters. I made a copy of the game disk (C, I think) by mistake once and realized that it was still playable, but extremely messed up. I ended up wandering around in a void checkerboard world and fighting an end-game monster (Queen Scorpion or something). My party was eradicated as soon as she attacked.
My aunt owned a copy of this for the Apple II. I used to play this and "Where in Time is Carmen Sandiego" when I was in grade school. I'm so glad someone thought of the original game and not the Heroes of Might and Magic crap.
I loved the names they had for the hirelings. Hong Kong Phooey was a ninja. Hahahaha!
Where did you get this game? I can't find a download for it anywhere.

The sound effects in this game are just -one bit- less jarring than the Genesis version. Gates to Another World is the OST to my nightmares.

I remember playing this on my aunt's PC (I think it was part of a pack of other games) when I was just a kid. Yes, those were the days.

rbingham2000: I'd wager that that pack of games was the Software Toolworks CD-ROM Challenge Pack. But that's just my guess.

Like I said, full of nerdy goodness.
