cparsley Posted March 19, 2013 Share Posted March 19, 2013 (edited) Waking up in the middle of the night, you find a wierd maze that you are trapped in, with Eye Balls marking entrances and exits from the interior of the maze, Wierd Power doors that won't open without a fight, and ladders without anyway to find a way out, just to plummet further and further into it's depths... Yes, there's lovely gold, silver and platinum lying around, and you can be rich, IF YOU CAN EVER FIND A WAY OUT ALIVE! All play must be done on hardest difficulty (disc/enter start) (Life starts at 12/6), and a picture at the END is required to show the level. There WILL BE NO REDEMPTION ISLAND AS THE WINNER OF THIS WEEK'S REDEMPTION ISLAND RETURNS TO THE GAME. Scores will be accepted until Sunday, March 31st, at Midnight Central time. ** RULE CHANGE : All players CAN advance from this game. Any score of 100 or more points will allow the player to advance. Anyone below 100 pts are in danger of being eliminated per the lowest eliminated rule. Due to this change, a BONUS will also been instituted for this game. Anyone defeating the Minotaur and winning the game on this level (picture required to claim BONUS) will be granted a FREE LIFE pass, saving said player from one elimination until the final 3. ** Remaining Players: * Bold = subject to elimination * * FINAL * Oscar G - 720 - Advances Liduario - 630 - Advances darthkur - 280 - Advances WispFollower - 180 - Advances cparsley - 150 - Advances JacobZu7zu7 - 140 - Advances jblenkle - 100 - Advances patbb - 0 - Eliminated Edited April 1, 2013 by cparsley Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LidLikesIntellivision Posted March 22, 2013 Share Posted March 22, 2013 It's time to put my scores. Great game, especially, I think, when you're playing for the first time. 1) 60 (it's a start anyway) 2) 340 3) 630 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jblenkle Posted March 22, 2013 Share Posted March 22, 2013 I'll try this game again today, but thus far I am unable to figure it out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oscar G. Posted March 24, 2013 Share Posted March 24, 2013 Hello Guys. I am enclosing my latest score in Minotaur Oscar G. - 490 points This is a great game. Playing in difficult mode is such a big challenge. Good luck to everyone. Thanks cParsley for organising such a cool tournament. Cheers!

jblenkle Posted March 24, 2013 Share Posted March 24, 2013 I think I'm going to have to sit this game out...Even after looking at the instructions, I have yet to score a point and don't think it's well suited to play under emulation. I'll keep trying though...maybe I'll get lucky... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cparsley Posted March 25, 2013 Author Share Posted March 25, 2013 JB, you know there's about a 2 1/2 hr video showing gameplay. Dont give up! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jblenkle Posted March 25, 2013 Share Posted March 25, 2013 Yeah, I watched part of it...but I still can't make any progress in the game. About the only thing I was able to accomplish was I finally picked something up and went down a ladder. JB, you know there's about a 2 1/2 hr video showing gameplay. Dont give up!

LidLikesIntellivision Posted March 28, 2013 Share Posted March 28, 2013 AD&D Tarmin - 20 I have no idea what I did but I finally got points!!! You caught a treasure. Very simple strategy: Every time you see something in the floor, try to open it*. Either it works or not, pick it and then try to use it. * all the bold actions are commands available in one of the number keys (I guess it's the number 4). * open it - if you have a key, it's best to try to open an item with the key in your right hand but you can open somethings without a key.

jblenkle Posted March 28, 2013 Share Posted March 28, 2013 Ah, you open it? I had just tried picking things up...I thought the open command was just for opening the doors... You caught a treasure.

Yes, that's what you were missing! Some items you open without a key, and you pick treasures! And the boxes need keys. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jblenkle Posted March 28, 2013 Share Posted March 28, 2013 I'm not sure about picking things up. On other screenshots I see people have items on their screen. Nothing ever appears on mine even though it disappears when I pick it up...other times the stuff I try to pick up just lays there and I can't pick it up or open it...

Oscar G. Posted March 28, 2013 Share Posted March 28, 2013 Hello guys, Yesterday I had an Epic (more than 4 hours long) go at Tarmin. The good news is that I found the Minotaur... The bad news is that I did not manage to kill it I took a photo. The Minotaur is actually behind a wall. I found the book that permits seeing through walls. Very useful indeed. Unfortunately, the monsters deep in the dungeon are quite powerful and the bombs concealed inside the treasure containers proved to be devastating My highest score was: 720 points. Cheers, Oscar 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darthkur Posted March 29, 2013 Share Posted March 29, 2013 280 Not nearly as enjoyable as it's predecessor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oscar G. Posted March 29, 2013 Share Posted March 29, 2013 Not nearly as enjoyable as it's predecessor. I beg to differ Tarmin is very enjoyable; however it has a huge learning curve. It doesn't have the pick up and play simplicity of its predecessor tough. Great score by the way! Cheers! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not that I dislike Tarmin but there's just so damn much to remember and manipulate at once. It was definitely a preview of things to come in the gaming world. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JacobZu7zu7 Posted March 31, 2013 Share Posted March 31, 2013 I killed about 6 enemies... but all the scoring cares about is if I collected Money or not... 50 - all three tries ( 2 pics ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oscar G. Posted March 31, 2013 Share Posted March 31, 2013 (edited) Hey Jacob, From a quick look at your screenshots I realised that you are carrying in your bag some items that you might want to use. For instance in the left pic you are carrying a money bag. If you press open while the bag is at your feet you can open it and then pick up the loot (of course you could also carry the money bag with you if you want to throw it at a monster in order to escape). Quite useful strategy as the key to survival in the earlier stages is to avoid fights with enemies that are stronger than you. By the way, the go back/escape button is also key for survival in earlier stages. In the pic on the right you are carrying a ring in your bag. If you put the ring on your right hand and then press use, the ring disappears and your middle stats will go up a little bit (actually what happens is that you are wearing the ring on you). This same principle applies to the pieces of armour and helmets. I hope this helps! Oscar Edited March 31, 2013 by Oscar G. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JacobZu7zu7 Posted March 31, 2013 Share Posted March 31, 2013 Thanks Oscar!, I actually know how to play this... just rusty that first game, forgot the stuff in those bags. Had a great game going but a guy hurled a red fireball, and my hit points flew to ZERO! Was running out of time to play anyhow... 140 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
