Im new here
 

Hello, i am new here and last time i played W&W, was a eternity ago, so i did some google searching and i found this great forum :iwhammer: IronWorks =D. So i got ALOT interrest in it again, but still, i dont have the game:mad:, so do anyone have it for free? I just wondering.

Re: Im new here
 

The game occupies 2 CDs, thus it is much larger than the sort of games that you find on abandonware sites. I am not aware of any free versions of it anywhere.
You could look on ebay, but I am not too confident that you will find anything.

Hi Moma919!!!!

I don't know of anywhere to get it for free. Sometimes copies do show up on eBay and other places. I guess your best best would be to google it and see what results you find. Good luck in your search!!!

I saw it on Amazon and they had the "Tome of Misinformation"(Guide Book by Brady Games) available also.

Welcome to the Forums where you'll find all that you could want or need to play the game well... except of course, the game itself.

Good luck finding one.

Wyvern did not think much of the official guide as I recall, little better than what is around here.

Re: Im new here
 

It's glaringly incomplete in some areas and there are a few... err.. inaccuracies, but I still find it helpful. With this play through, I've been making copious notes in case I can manage to play again in the future, or my son ever gets the chance to play a REALLY OLD game... he's only two years old right now. :^)

Perhaps he'll play it as part of a research project for a history class. :^D

Hey, and sorry for being gone for maybe four months or something. But I have been VERY busy with my game lately (Yeah, I make games). And I haven't gotten the game yet but I have memories in my head and stuff. Actually I am considering to download it illeagal from pirate bay (I found one), but that's a 1 week slow download. But I wanna hear your oppinion. Well, thank you guy's for your replies :scatter:

Hi moma919!!

You can get W&W (used) on Amazon for about $20 - you can get a new one there for about $35

What is the game that you are making??

Re: Im new here
 

Finally, the download (pirated) of W&W is finished and I have played a little and its AWESOME! but... I can't find the game guide book so have someone a game guide on the web that I can print out?

PS It is called "Reveral Blocks" A 2D grapical platform ORPG (made with game maker) that you can do whatever you want (in the future....), but now it needs work, however I have some videos:

But you probably noticed that I didn't reply before ages... well thats because I didn't have the game.... but now I WILL be here almost every day =D

Re: Im new here
 

Apparently the game guide is okay but not brilliant, Wyvern has a hard copy of it, she is the source of my information on this. You will get much better information in this forum.

Re: Im new here
 

Indeed, the game guide is less than brilliant and has been called "The Tome of Misinformation". It has been useful now and then but I don't believe it covers anything better than we have covered it here on the forum.

Re: Im new here
 

Does it mention the glitches with the Wizards Guild quests in Brimloch Roon?
The forums here reflect the game as it was when it was actually released. This may be different to what the manual says.

Re: Im new here
 

If I recall correctly, the game guide was written based on what was originally planned for the game and parts that were omitted from the game were omitted from the guide. So from the start it was never completely accurate with the game that was released and doesn't mention the various glitches within the game. It has been useful to some degree (especially since it has been so long since I played W&W that I've forgotten some things).
The information we have on this forum is far more accurate to the game as it actually plays.

Re: Im new here
 

There's a fair amount of stuff missing from the guide- two of the quests in Brimloch Roon(also bugged), MOST of the Collasium map, and the other maps that are in the "Tome" are sparsely labeled.

The notes for the Crush Trap in the Pyramid say to throw the lever at the end of the hall which enables the trap, and then sprint out to avoid getting crushed(it also moves some panels you passed by earlier that enable your party to progress further), however the lever actually DISables the trap which does its crush damage thing as you go through the hall to throw the switch.

There are four "Tomes of Creation" needed to become a Zen Master and the "Tome" mentions "other false tomes", which to my knowledge, don't exist in the game.

The inset map for Skull Castle's "Elevator Puzzle" is the exact same map as that for the "Elevator Puzzle" in the Serpent Temple, and it's completely wrong.

It gives "solutions" to puzzles which either don't work, or are so poorly written, or lack useful information so as to make them useless.

Other than that, it's a really great guide! ;^D

Peace, +Dr. Pick

Well described, Dr.Pick!!! ;)

Re: Im new here
 

It is well below the standard of the SSI cluebooks then, the ones that I am most familiar with. There are all sorts of bugs and glitches in the game, the errors in the guide book reflect the game all too well in that area.
As for items, the list of them is known, and a lot of the relevant file I was able to decrypt. There are no false tomes.
