Razzie.P Posted November 6, 2022 Share Posted November 6, 2022 Woah, I've never heard of this one, but based on that box art and screenshot, it would have absolutely been a "must have" as a kid.

Oh, BITD, This game blew my mind!!! It was one of those "Crash" Priced Bargain games I bought.... PS: Although it's not hard, I do recommend reading the manual on this one.

Northcoastgamer Posted November 7, 2022 Author Share Posted November 7, 2022 One of the early RPGs. Along with Ultima, Datestones of Ryn, Pool of Radiance later on and others.

DuggerVideoGames Posted November 9, 2022 Share Posted November 9, 2022 17,785 pts. Wish I had more paralyze spells on this level! Spending more time running away than fighting on this one, but you eventually run into things you cannot outrun. Was being chased by 3 different fast things at the same time when they caught me. I felt like the Blues Brothers being chased by the cops. Found a jeweled coffer on level 5 or 6 (I think it was 5) that bumped my score from 8k to 13k! 2 Quote Link to comment https://forums.atariage.com/topic/343338-6th-annual-fall-knockout-tourney-round-5-gateway-to-asphai/#findComment-5152581 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Razzie.P Posted November 10, 2022 Share Posted November 10, 2022 How do you use the bow in this game? read the manual and it makes it seem all simple, but even when I "select" bow, he just waggles the sword.

Go thru bag (press 2) to find bow,arrows,magic arrows and then side button to select. Prees 1 twice to fight with bow & arrows.

Prees 1 twice to fight with bow & arrows. Well, I feel like an idiot now. So that's how you use the arrows! Just tried it and it works. I played all these years without ever firing an arrow. 😆 2 Quote Link to comment https://forums.atariage.com/topic/343338-6th-annual-fall-knockout-tourney-round-5-gateway-to-asphai/#findComment-5153329 Share on other sites More sharing options...

fakecortex Posted November 15, 2022 Share Posted November 15, 2022 Ambitious game. More than me, b/c this is what I could muster. "So little on level 8?", you might ask. Well, I kept jumping to the next level to get better treasure, while getting one-hit killed by anything that moved. I managed better that way than playing through the early levels and exploring every room. 4,530 1 Quote Link to comment https://forums.atariage.com/topic/343338-6th-annual-fall-knockout-tourney-round-5-gateway-to-asphai/#findComment-5155635 Share on other sites More sharing options...
