Conference 501clb::games

    
    I am running this on my P133 and it is very smooth with the #9 GXE64
    Pro video card. I haven't gotten too far since I keep getting killed!
    The blood spurting from the necks of the zombies when killed is funny
    and when they flame and come at you is cool! I don't know how this
    happens when shooting them (I guess) but the monks do the same thing!
    
    System is P133 w/24Mb mem, 4Mb PCI video, 256 PB cache, scsi boot, 12x
    CD, Vibra16 sound. Quake runs nicer now too!
    
    

    Indeed, great game.
    
    Check www.blood.com
    
    At the 4th level, there are 12 secrets and 112 ennemis.
    (in normal mode).  The fourth level is the one after the
    train.
    
    I found all 12 secrets (including the secret level entry point)
    but I could only find and kill 110 ennemis. 
    
    Has anyone found the 2 missings?
    I suspect the 2 gargoyle sculptures at the end of the
    level, but I cannot "kill" stone.  How to "revive"
    these???
    
    An other point is the beta version (with the patch)
    still crashes on me from time to time.  I hope
    they will correct with the final version.

    Anyone found a way of staying alive longer in this thing? I find this
    one to be a bit harder than some of the others, doom/doom II, heretic,
    hexen, and I have been down the train tunnel, I think I got lunched
    there (in god mode) and guess I have to wait for the train?
    
    I found the first secret area in the first part (before courtyard or
    graveyard), and been through the church (man! those explosions are
    pretty heavy eh?) and the rats can be a pain in the butt.... I am
    trying to play in mid-difficulty mode and feel this is a bit tougher
    than the other earlier games of the same genre.
    
    

    
    
    On lev 1 when using the automap there seem to be some rooms all
     on thier own can they be reached ????
    
    And an outright spoiler would be nice on how to get into the large
    tomb on the first level and how to get over the other side of the 
    wall into the area with the grave stones,
    
    
     Thanks mark.
    
    You can mail me answers ULYSSE::BUXTON_M if you wish.

    
    re: -1
    
    I am not sure how to get to them, they may be on a different level?
    
    Large tomb? Where you kill the monk around the backside? I don't think
    it is accessable. Graveyard? Point me to this area. I have been a ways
    into this in god mode to look around since I was dying so damn fast and
    don't remember this (or do but doesn't ring a bell).
    
    Go into the church (when you get first key) move forward, then back
    quickly and toss dynamite to zombies, do same for monk in church. Go
    into church, go left up stairs, play piano, get item above it, watch
    for zombies through doorway, go around corner shoot barrel, BIG
    explosion, opens wall, but that looks down over where you came from, if
    this is the graveyard you are thinking of....

    Nope,
    
    
    Imaging the tomb where you kill the first monk, try the door and 
    you keep getting the message "it's stuck".
    While you are standing looking at this door the graveyard I refer
    too is directly behind you on the other side of the wall. You can 
    also see it through a barred window on the first floor.
    
     Thanks ,
    
     Mark.

    re: -.2
    
    There are no way to get to that graveyard.
    There are also no way to get inside the tomb
    with the door ("It's stuck"). (1st encounter
    with a monk).
    
    You can try the cheat code "eva galli" and walk tru
    the walls, but these are not secret and there are 
    nothing to do in that graveyard.
    
    For the tomb, you cannot even get inside, the noclip
    mode pushes you to the top of the tomb, hence nothing
    inside.

    
    re: last couple
    
    Ah, I *think* when I first ran this game at home I did not encounter a
    monk, but the door opened and there was the key. Mind you, this only
    happened the *first* time I loaded and ran blood. Each subsequent time
    had the monk there spouting off at the mouth and firing on me!
    
    Graveyard, that must be the one I saw after blowing up the barrel
    outside the room with monk and incinerator. Couldn't get to it either.
    
    Been run over by train I think in god mode while walking down the
    tracks for a looooong time and getting warnings....have to play this
    when I have some spare time off Diablo! That is a cool game!
    

    I experienced a whole lot of bugs and misc. crashes
    with the Version 0.99
    
    At www.blod.com there are now 2 patches
    99b and 99c.  With 0.99c I have not seen
    too many bugs.  Although at the end of
    each level, if you kill all ennemies,
    you alway end up killing 10 more that
    the max count. (Kill= 220 out of 210)
    
    
    The last patch (99c) is available since yesterday.

    Every level has a "Super secret"
    
    At the end of the level, if you found it, it says
    "you have found a super secret" in yellow letters
    below the kills and regular secrets screen.
    
    I have found most of them, but I have yet to find
    the second level one.
    
    Has anyone found it?
