ere, in "files", you'll find patches, editors, and other miscellany to help you prepare and train for the hard adventures ahead. By their nature, they may require an adventurer's concentration be turned –robbing the blissful suspension of disbelief like bandits in the night– whereas "tools" differ in that they may be used while remaining immersed in a world of fantasy and lore. Most files are in the ZIP format. You'll need an unzip utility to open these files.

| AlteredAlchemyImages [40 K] | Joel "Quadko" McIntyre has created a nifty workaround for the problem of interrogation by the copy-protection scheme during gameplay -- a PITA any time it may occur, but especially when playing full-screen in an emulator, e.g. DOSBox. He has created a set of tiles that show you the answer inside the game itself, without having to reference the manual or printed cheatsheet. The README file included in the AlteredAlchemyImages archive provides a basic explanation. Visit the AlteredAlchemyImages page for full details. |
