  • Me: Well, if he has a map from online, it can't be that bad can it? There's no way this place is THAT big.

    *ingame map opens*

    Me: *jaw drops, eyes widen*

  • How can this game being from 1990-1992 and still dealing with a shitty "type-in" crap? I don't care older players then me can think it has it charms cuz it totally sucks. I mean seriously why not find other ways to make a game duration even longer. This just gets you to work instead of playing. I would play the remake from AGD interactive cuz it makes it a point and click playable game and not that primitive crap. Why they even though of doing type-in crap when point and click interface existed?

  • @24000RPM There are some differences to the capabilities of the interfaces. Simply put, this "shitty crap" was the system that the developers decided on to make their game the best it could be. If you don't like it, go play something else rather than rag on a good game.

  • You should have asked about oil.

  • lets ask about.. men? what is this leasure suit faggy?

    who is this guy

  • you can type "bargain for _____" and you can give them your own price and haggle for what you want to buy. This is where your gift for gab comes in.

  • haha... anyone that plays through this game without getting frustrated at the city streets isn't doing it right :P

  • An easier way to find the moneychanger for the first time is to run out in the desert, kill a brigand for a few dinars (might be hard if you play a non-imported wizard/thief, though), then buy the map and compass right off the bat. Then you don't have to navigate the streets blind.

  • Christ, pun overload.

  • A little late, perhaps, but I figured out that changing 10 Coins in a row is a quite good rate, Dinarzad will change them for 9 Dinars, so you only miss one coin.

  • Ugh, money puns... XD

    Love the double meaning in Dinarzad's name (not just the "dinar" part since she's a money changer, but Dinazade is the name of Shahrazad's sister in 1001 Arabian Nights). 8-)

  • Rakeesh kind of looks like Prince Thrakhath

  • All liontaurs and Kilrathi look the same to me.

  • I think I once calculated that the optimal exchange was 19 coins at a time (or something like that).

  • Heh. I guess I'm just not mathematical enough to have actually bothered trying to figure out the algorithm and doing the calculations. This is the sort of thread subject you'd see at xkcd. XD

  • Why are you not bargaining for your purchases? Whyyyyyyy?

  • Alichica charges only 1 dinar for each item, so little that I did not realize you could bargain for them. But you're right, I just checked and he drops the price for each to 50 centimes... In any case I was so exultant at getting the map that I probably would have forgotten to bargain anyway. But thanks for the reminder, I will remember to do it for future purchases.

  • I'm looking forward to the unusual bargaining you can make for the saurus. Just be careful not to have a case of terminal stubborness!

  • Hmm, how is bargaining for the saurus unusual? It seems to me that you can only do it once... Unless you mean keep leaving the screen and coming back to make Ali Fakir nervous.

  • If you keep saying simply "no" to Ali Fakir, you can eventually get the price down to five dinars, if memory serves me right. Do it more than that, and I think you'll die from "terminal stubborness".

  • Hmm. I think I remember something like that, although I got the same effect by just walking away (as I did not intend to buy the saurus until it was necessary); each time you walk out of the screen and come back I think he reduces his price. I remember dying at some point because the saurus is necessary to complete the game.

  • Aww, you aren't going to "look at cleavage"? (Sadly, that was the first thing I did when I met Dinarzad).

  • I was tempted to, but I thought I'd try to keep this LP reasonably clean. Although, I *will* mention (but probably not show!) the glasses easter egg.

    Also, after I made this video, I realized I FORGOT TO MAKE THE THIEF SIGN! *facepalm* I'll go back and do it later.

  • Fair enough. XD

    Hahaha, good thing you have plenty of time to go back!
