Well being quite bored the other day I reinstalled W&W - must be all of about 5 years on since last I played. Firstly the game wouldn't run - would load and instant crash. After much searching about and consiedring graphics codecs et al I finally found that it runs just fine if you take it out of software mode and use the highest of high resolutions in the 3 D graphics. Man that looks way better than the old software mode graphics I got out of the ole PIII back in the bad ole days of low mem and no graphics card.

Problem 2 - no mages guild in Valeia - ah - memory still good - me no's boogersh (not gold taker eider) - I remember back in my Win 98 days that me ole china Sazearc solved this one a long time ago - thumbs up Saz. So I Vdubbed all the necessaries and now the game runs beuatifully.

Problems 3. Some things are not going as well as expected. Firstly when I tried to go see what is happening at toad village the toads went "toad" on me. I ran away rather than start a fight, but unbeknownst to me, Ekbu has chased me all the way back to the mill and is now walking alongside Medkawa. He attacked me, and I charmed him to stop my characters making toad sushi.

Problem 4 - off to do the crypt - yup I remember this - knock down a champion, pick up a crystal, run up some stairs and get the dolly (or jindol). Only trouble was I had both of them attcak at the top of the stairs - killed em both, picked up the crystals - ran down one stair and the stair in front collapsed - ran down the other stair and the stair in front collapsed - WAAAAAAAAAH!!!! No fair!!! I saved after the fight as well, so I am stuck here. I have been searching for unsmashed crates and I am having to backtrack an awful long way to find enough crates to do the ole climb jump routine. Even the ole staring at the sky while jumping is not quite letting me get there after 2 stackings. Boo hoo - I am off to forage wider - my kingdom for an unsmashed crate.
