return of the ring - tip & glitch

[ant]

Hi there -
i dont know wether you can shed any light on an event that i stumbled across many moons ago when origionally playing this game.
At the beggining of the game when in the krell village - when in the throne room - if you type "take magic" you aquire a magic almulet which you can go and sell in the town for upto 950 credits - a useful boost. not sure if this action confuses the game at a later stage though! from recall it doesnt have a role in the game?

More importantly though, i am revisitting this game - frustratingly i cant get onto the moon. i type "ac", i confirm i want to go to the moon, then i press ctrl+L and select return3 when prompted to depress play (before pressing another key) and .... nothing.

Hello,

As far as accessing the moon is concerned, Alastair had already shed some light on this : cf posts dated June 19, 2009, in the following topic

Thanks to the link provided by Alastair yesterday, I could load this game, then start a new game. I couldn't get very far, though : after finding a transporter that did not required any pass, I pressed a key when instructed to do so, then "inserted" the 3rd part of the tape... and it loaded forever, so I eventually decided to end the emulation.

Perhaps it wasn't the proper part to insert. Anyway, I believe I wouldn't have lasted very long while out on the moon, that is, without any weapon or shield as a protection.

Leave RETURN2.CAS "inserted" as it also contains the forest moon section, then for the return trip "re-insert" RETURN2.CAS when the game tells you to press play - not when the game tells you to rewind the tape. RETURN3.CAS contains the end game.

Hope this helps...

Best regards,
Lionel

Thanks Lionel, you've saved me some cutting and pasting.
