But when you ENTER LOG CABIN and PULL HORNS to enter the secret annex to obtain the wizard's cloak and cross, the game will simply say "It wobbles." No access to the secret annex means no chance to get the cross, no way to kill the vampire, no way to get the ring, and the game is unwinnable. ~ Acknowledgments Thanks to Antoine Vignau for the original disk. --------------------------------------- A 4am crack No. 1646 ------------------EOF------------------
