Has anyone completed this game? https://solutionarchive.com/game/id%2C2 ... 2C+La.html
In PC version, or Amiga, or Atari ST.
I can't do that.
In the beginning of the 2nd part of the game (you have to launch parts 1 and 2 separately from the start screen, using a save for part 2), you have
to find one important thing in a temple - and visiting dark rooms there damages your health, so you die of a poisoning after several turns.
It seems that the game just counts turns, but - in PC (and Amiga, maybe AtariST as well) the gameplay is quite different from Commodore 64/Spectrum/AmstradCPC/MSX versions. For those platforms it is very easy as the light source is unlimited there, but in PC/Amiga we have only 4 matches and a limited amount of oil in the lamp: even following the available walkthrough for the PC (? certainly not AmstradCPC etc.) version, I die much sooner than being able to find and take the required object.
I think that it is either a bug or I am doing something terribly wrong. And I have tried everything at that temple, including running the game on Amstrad1512@PCem instead of DOSBox, using time-slowing TSRs etc.
If anyone wants to try, I attach my saves: one is the very beginning of Part 2 (you have to choose it as start), and another is at the temple entrance.
