Faery Tale Adventure
Will someone please tell me the answer to the 3 questions???
Carolyn,
The answer to the 3 questions is part of the game's copy protection scheme to
prevent people from using illegal copies. The answers change each time you
boot, and can be found on the map that is part of the game's documentation.

Jesu Christi…
But Henry, there are only about 6 possible ones, and they can be memorized
rather easily. Beats the ^@##&^% out of a 'code wheel'
But memorizing the messages means that someone who didn't own the program
could do that too!
Henry,
That also means that a legitimate purchaser can use the program easily, and
without having to keep the mnaual from being chomped by the dog or
penut-buttered by the kids.
Don't get me wrong. I rather like the code wheel in Interceptor, or would,
if you didn't have to use it for EVERY mission, but think about it… how
easy is it to photocopy the code wheel, or to make up a lookup table to
obviate the need for the wheel? So far, there are no good forms of
protection, and the people that decide to use protection of any type are
doing nothing but fooling themselves, irritating those that bought it, and
titillating those that stole it in spite of the protection.

Having locks on windows is pretty foolish too, but it seems to be a common
practice. There are lots of disillusioned homeowners and publishers out there.

Six possible answers? Code wheel? Are these things that a "new comer" should
know about?/EXIT six possible answers? code [D [D/exit
It's something you'd know about if you had purchased the game.
Gee Steve, that's a bit heavy from the forum manager.
Ted
I don't think so – it strongly seems as if the game wasn't purchased. That
Agreed Henry. The explanatory replies were valid. A cheap shot seems a bit
out of place.
Ted
It may be. However, the forum in no way encourages or promotes software
thief. Anyone who has purchased Faery Tale Adventure would know what the
keywords are.
Carolyn,
The map that comes with the game is all that you need.

You recognized me without my beard?
