Yes... They are called moongates. They rise at 8pm and disappear at 5am. At first you will not realize where you will be teleported to. But, there is a a method to it... you just have to pay attention to the phases of the moons. There are other cool things you can do with the moongates... but I don't want to spoil it for you. :ph43r:

In the original C64 version, it took about 15 minutes -- if you discount all the times you will get attacked by monsters, otherwise could take an hour. And, remember, the when the sun goes down, you must be very careful. You don't want to step into the wetlands and poison the entire party.

The TI version is much faster; mainly because I have not coded the monsters yet AND the entire map is in RAM.

This is a scan of the real "cloth" map that came with the game. It measures about 16 inches by 16 inches.

I still have mine

Well... I finished stripping out and normalizing the shop talking strings from the original source files.

Wow... There is nearly 15000 letters in the shop talk strings alone. O_O

Dagummit!
