From Sergei Novikov To All 15 November 1997


Hiya All!

How do you like the subject? Rulez, right? =) Cooler than Disey? Yeah.

So, can anyone translate? Answer with soap, pls, so that FTL doesn't
hear ;))

Yes, who got to where in it? I only scored 13 points. What's next? What to do with the dragon, how to free the prince, how not to fall into the well?

From Vsevolod Potapov To All 15 November 1997

I started playing as soon as I received our version.
gave the mugs to the cook
an apple to the princess
mead to the executioner
I blew fur on the car - I received living water

and then my life ended. cheat must give and sax forever. that's the fact. and our (Serega’s) trainer is solid - if Milun doesn’t like it and he
starts to attack me, I’ll strangle him with my own hands :))))

VP> I started playing as soon as I received our version.

Not a lot ;) I did so much there... But I didn’t remember ;) By the way, You can jump over the well, take the toilet paper and give it to the prince sitting in the dungeon. To celebrate, he throws you as many as 2 objects! One is a chess piece - you will give it to the chess player later. Yes, there's an executioner on the left. You give him dead water (maybe you need living water
first? Otherwise he dies and doesn’t come back to life ;)

In short, it’s bad to give a hint - interest disappears.

There are a lot of jokes with the princess. If, for example, he puts a red skeleton near her, she will ask why it stinks so much ;)) And later she will turn into a toad. Hmm...

VP> and then my life ended.

Wow! I remembered! Do you know how to get through Drozdov? Those who are three of them digging for something?
You need to treat them with something ;) Everyone freezes :)

VP> cheat mast give and sax forever.

Eat fly agarics - you will be healthy ;) In general, I don’t know how you can manage to
lose energy. Jump less on the torches ;)

VP> this is the kind of torch. and our (Serega’s) trainer is solid - if Milun
VP> doesn’t like it and he starts pushing, I’ll strangle him with my own hands :))))

From Sergei Novikov To All 16 November 1997

VP> Polish :((( all the dialogues are lost to hell. :((( I guess there were a lot of jokes there too
VP>. And you won’t understand the hints without the language :((((

We have to translate. I don’t want to go through it yet, there’s no Russian version yet. PEOPLE!
Who translated Kliatba Noci?! This game is from the same company. They released Kliatba
Noci, Pedro na ostrove piratov, Komando 2, Towdie + another game that I
recently downloaded on the Internet ;-D

Date: Monday, 11/17/97; Time: 14:36; Subj: "Towdie"

VP> 36 - who is bigger? (and how :))

Do you still need hints? (Or maybe it’s better that it’s not in Russian? -
It’s more difficult to play ;))

PS: Come on, inject yourself :), how to play. How did you score the last 36 point? Or
a typo? I scored 35. You can get 3 more if you give the bird a leaf and millet on the
road. But this is if you illegally pass by ghosts with a cheat. Well, what next?
Everyone takes everything, no one gives anything. The blacksmith doesn't give anything for the hammer, the bastard =)
In short, there are 2 items left: a flower that no one wants (even the princess won't take it!)
and a mirror. The mask is also of no use, but at least it is used. What's
next?

²ARS: Don't tell me, it's interesting :) Just as everyone was collectively into the elite
before, so now we are into the subject... Although... If only 1, the next action.

From Sergei Novikov To All 18 November 1997

AA> That’s right :)))) No, seriously - I need help - I’ll throw it in, you don’t need to fill it
AA> will be. There are over 50 actions there. The main idea is help 2 all.

Towdie? For 50 actions? Rulez! I'll play it again! Help, of course, is not needed at all - it will only discourage interest. I am a fan of “getting to everything on your own”, sometimes only
as an exception, being content with hints&

AA> ... nothing can save this world

You reminded me of the article that I saved for ARMAGEDDON in RVL4-2 ;)))~~
Classic horror =)) More precisely, no, the interpretation of UFOs from the position of the church (excerpts from
church literature), from which the approaching arrival of the Antichrist directly follows... Random, tremble!!! ;) The most interesting thing is that all this is not fiction.
On the contrary, there is a lot of evidence E8-[ = ] It’s up to the little thing - up to the
viewer.

From Vsevolod Potapov To All 19 November 1997

It means you defeated me - I went through the ghosts illegally (you said it yourself -
chiti, chiti. Well, I read it). so consider that I only have 33. And exactly the same items remain (a mirror - no one knows where to put it, a flower - without
a clue, and a gas mask, which I couldn’t use anywhere at all :(
maybe somewhere they give 2 points for it? There is a suspicion that there are hidden
locations and/or hidden objects, which is bad - you have to run across the entire map
pressing fire :)))

So you didn’t eat fly agarics :) For each one you get one point.

It is used in a clearing with a flower, since without it there is no cheat to the flower not
get there.

VP> maybe somewhere they give 2 points for it?

They don’t give anything ;(

VP> there is a suspicion that there are hidden locations and/or hidden

There is a suspicion that the game is buggy :( It’s not clear what to do with the items. The blacksmith
doesn’t give anything for a hammer, the bird - for seeds and a letter.

VP> what is bad - you have to run across the entire map by pressing fire :)))

In a row - there’s nothing to hide objects behind - there’s almost no grass ;(

You don’t need to do anything with a stork, there are no glitches here. Take a closer look: in flight, the feather falls off from him ;)) and falls down. They wake up the blacksmith.
