Ok, I have a couple of questions:

1. Does anything special happen when you max out everything on all the levels? I.e. 100% of the secrects found, 100% of enemies destroyed etc.

2. After some quick fiddling with Resedit, it seems there are several easter eggs in the sprite file. Has anyone found some other easter eggs (besides pressing x on the main screen), or better yet, do the ones in the sprite file ever appear in the game?

3. Oh, in the sprites, there seem to be 2 green faries or something. I've never seen them in the game, and don't know where the are. Are they in the Ice world? Thats the only one I haven't played through, and I don't really think there would be faries in the ice world.

Heh, I sound like my bloody nephew with Super Mario world.

Nope, nothing special happens (at least that I know of).

If the easter eggs you're referring to are the pictures of Ben, Andrew, et al then those appear in Purple Haze (a secret level in the game).

They don't appear anywhere in the game itself, so they're probably just some of the stuff that didn't make it into the game upon final release (i.e. Vorpal Dirk, Mist Potion, the elusive extra ice levels, etc.)

I normally don't even say this much :), but there is a secret exit in Obfuscation & Edification.

The nymph portraits don't have dialogues attached to them either, though I think MGL made a reference to them in an interview.

My guess is that Ben is planning an expansion update or somthing. Otherwise he wouldn't waste space with the extras (ie they wouldv'e been stripped).

Oh yeah, this reminds me. There is a HUGE area in Unemployed in Green land only acessible by the mist potion (Near right exit. Might need to use tree trunk to get close to it). It is completely devoid of anything. My guess is that thats where the remaining monsters were supposed to have been. They just got canned.

I'd have to disagree because there are items in there from Harry and a lot of stuff (well, some stuff) that's in there and not in the game itself.

------------------

Items (Hammer, vorpal dirk, mist potion, pieces of mirrors, names for mirrors)
Pics (two nymps, sprites and portraits)
Magic Spells (Different version of Ice wall, light ball, sandstorm)
Level Names
Large, empty area in Unemployed in Greenland
Unresolved Plot

Thats an awful lot of stuff just to ditch.

You ditch it because you changed your mind. This does happen during the course of a game creation. Good grief, a rough draft is never your final submission. You change various things about 150 times. Example: You start out with what you think is a great idea...then realize it won't fit in. So you ditch it!!

Very true. So whats it still doing in the final submission? Its not like removing it would have broken anything, as the demo versions shows.

Thats all I'm saying. Not critcizing anyone, sorry, Zelda.

Yeah, whatever did happen to the mining party, Ferazel's master, and the injured Habnabit Warrior DEMANDING that Fez(is this a suitable short name for Ferazel? :)) find the mining party?
Why make an exspansion file they probably won't ask any money for(they haven't in the past). But I can't wait to pay for a sequel, that Ben wants to do, if the first was profitable enough, and the second would be too, and that Andrew is such a cool guy.
Also, never mention the ummentionable level again. Those who play are under contract to never speak of it, and those who do will, under penalty of Ambrosia Law, lose your home and children. No fooling and consider yourself warned.

And what was up with Xircha? Why did she do what she did at all?

Yep. I bet we all can't wait to buy the sequel.

TOMMANR says Ferazel seems similar to The Lord of The Rings. Has anyone else gotten that?

Ya, I've seen a few similarities like the rings and Hobbit/Habnabit, but which levelcan I find a wounded warrior demanding that I find the mining party?

I do believe that's in Obfuscation and Edification. I think.

I don't remember an injured habnabit demanding you find the mining party, and I've managed to get 100% secrets on Ob and Ed. Could you give directions please? Thanks!

Umm..isn't it the guy at the end of the level? I wish I hadn't posted!!! I'm not sure what he says anymore. I forgot.

Hehe... thanks, Zelda, I never really listened to him before, I guess.
