Easter eggs
There are two
easter eggs in this game that are definately worth a look. Try the follow
things while playing it:
Walk two screens
left of the screen where you see the island in the lake from a distance
and look at trees.
A sign appears to be attached to the back of one of the trees. read
sign, for some blatant advertising.
If you thought
that was something, think again! Outside the cave at the top of the mountains
where you get the second key, there is a hole at the base of some rocks.
look
in hole to watch something really cool. This
one is a must-see!
Interesting Bugs
There aren't many
bugs to find in this game, but try pressing the arrow keys when King Graham
recovers from tumbling off the golden fish onto the enchanted island near
the end of the game. The programmers seem to have forgotten to turn off
the ability to move the character during the animation, resulting in an
amusing effect.
Other things
You can swim out
into the ocean to the left of Kolyma and stay out there until you get tired
of swimming and drown, but basically this is all a waste of time.
Try getting
caught by the sorcerer or walk up to the shore of the poisoned lake and
drink
water for amusing death sequences.
Why does Count
Dracula have a bedroom in one of the towers of his castle when he sleeps
in his coffin in the basement anyway? I'm just asking...
Check out the
people that are attending King Graham's wedding with Valanice at the end.
They are key characters from both of the two first games in the series.
But why would his enemies go there, what is the dolphin doing there and
why are Count Dracula present, even when you've killed him earlier on in
the game? Very peculiar...
The following
is a list of every synonym for girl allowed in the game. You can
use any of these names to refer to any female character in the game. (For
example, calling grandma little red riding hood works just fine...)
Warning:
Not for the faint-hearted!
-
bitch
-
cunt
-
damsel
-
fairy
-
girl
-
grandma
-
grandmother
-
hag
-
hagatha
-
her
-

-

-
little red
riding hood
-
maiden
-

-

-
old woman
-
red riding
hood
-

-
slut
-

-
valanice
-

-

Someone apparently
got a little over-enthusiastic when working on the synonyms! It's amazing
what dark secrets you can discover if you decode the sources of a game...
Even more off-color
stuff: The following description of Valanice can be found in the logic
code for the quartz tower room, but there's nothing you can do to make
it appear appear in the actual game:
-
"She is even
more lovely than she appeared in the mirror. Her long auburn hair tumbles
down to cover her large firm breasts. Her erect nipples are one of the
indications that her warm thighs would welcome your tender kisses."
And this game
is supposed to be suitable for the whole family! ;-)
The subtitle
of this game is a funny reference to the 1984 blockbuster movie Romancing
the Stone, starring Michael Douglas and Kathleen Turner.
