The Bard's Tale III Thief of Fate Dimensional transport codes (c) 1988 Electronic Arts 157407 ********* The following tables represent the code wheel for the Electronic Arts game The Bard's Tale III. When teleporting from the wilderness to the dimensions, you are prompted to enter a number in response to four pieces of information. Instructions for use: 1. Look up the city (first word) across the top of table 1A or 1B (it will only be in one of these two tables). 2. Look down the left column for the place given next. Get the number at the intersection of the two. 3. Find the column with that number in Table 2. The third piece of information is a thing; find it in the left column. 4. If there is a number at that intersection you're done. If a letter is there, make note of it and proceed to Table 3. 5. Find the column with the letter from step 4. Go down the left side and find the fourth piece of information. At that intersection is... Ah! a number. Finally. NOTE: Leading zero's count -- that's why they're there. None of the numbers are just one digit. So those must be i's and o's. The Bard's Tale III, code wheel, and documentation are copyright 1988 by Electronic Arts and Interplay Productions, Inc. (Wheel part# 157407) ********* Satisfaction Guarantee: If for any reason you're not entirely satisfied with this product, simply return it to the original place of purchase for double your money back ;) ********* Hints and opinions from the etexter (no spoilers): If you haven't played Bard I or II, this game is a slow starter. You really need to import some powerful characters to get going. Otherwise it takes *forever* to build your party to the point where you can teleport to the dimensions (the meat of the game). Also if you've never played, you really need the manual *and* the Command Summary Card. The manuals were written to be generic - for all computers the software was ported to - and the keystroke commands are *only* on the Command Summary Card. That's why people are looking at these for the first time ten years later and saying "I don't get it. My friend *raved* about this game. It sux." You'll never live long enough to "guess" out the spells. These are essentially text adventures. Docs are text. Got it? Good. RTFM DON'T let any outsiders join your party until you are told which dimension you should first travel to. Trust me. Don't know if this is a bug or a "feature". ********* Table 1A -------- Alli- Arbo- Fero- Geli- Kin- Lana- Lu- Male- ria ria fist dia estia tir cencia fia
