Note about piracy: Do not encourage pirate groups such as INC to distribute
copyrighted games around BBS's. It is illegal and anti-social, destroying the
creative will of game designers who spend months/years perfecting games.
Pirates seem to think it's a national sport and have no remorse, so one can't
appeal to them, but *you* the consumer can take a responsible attitude. It's
easy to say "well it's only me, and I wouldn't buy it anyway" but there are
millions of people just like you. If you want something, it is right that you
should pay for it. BB sysops can play an even bigger part - large systems
openly distribute pirated copyright software, especially in the US. Some turn
a blind eye as it makes their systems popular but sponsoring such activity in
that way is as bad as originating it. Now, on with the info:


Introduction
------------

Clyde's adventures is an excellent game. The graphics are nice
and colourful and the animation is fast and smooth. The screens
are also very challenging, requiring a combination of skill,
timing and problem solving. Thoroughly recommended.

Anyway, when you run the game, to start with you can access
any of the first three castles. To access the later castles,
you need a certain number of gems. Ideally, you would try to
solve each castle *and* collect all of the gems, but not
everyone is patent enough to do both ! Here's how to hack the
file to increase your gems so that you can access the later
castles:

Method
------

Use a HEX editor (such as Norton's NU) and load in the file
called "VOLUME_1.CA". Find the bytes as the offsets shown
below and alter them to your preference. Remember that each
number consists of a hex low byte and high byte respectively.

  OFFSET      MEANING
------------------------------------
722 / 723     Level 1 Gems collected
724 / 725     Level 2 Gems collected
726 / 727     Level 3 Gems collected
754 / 755     Total Gems collected

You must change the total gems as well as the individual
gems as the total is calculated only when you complete
a level. Don't change the total only as when it is
recalculated, you'll lose gems. The additional doesn't
actually need to correspond so I suggest you change
all bytes all to 'FF 05' or whatever. Save the file
and then run it !

Note: Clydes adventure is an excellent game; this hack
shouldn't spoil you entertainment, it should simply
halp those who have given up on a level - remember all
levels can be completed so don't give up too soon as
the answer is often staring you in the face !

Have Fun and don't forget to register !!!!!

p.s. Level 3 is very easy !
