After the initial adventure the game opens up--you finally get the title screen!--and lets you wander around most of the world's largest continent. It feels a little loosey-goosey but there isn't actually that much to access, so it doesn't take too long to explore--unless you miss something. ; )
WELL HECK I checked the manual and there's a gosh darned elf castle right smack in the middle of the elf town on the map that I didn't blunder into; my eyeballs had interpreted its squat castle as ruins! = P So that would be the next thing to do. Maybe they'll tell me about the hole!
Yeah I probably should'a got a dagger or whatever for the mage waaaaay back in Coneria; oh well, now he's got a big elf knife, woo!
I reached lvl 8 which some FAQ had said was about where the Black Belt starts doing better without having weapons & armour equipped, so I stripped off and that does seem to have helped, he maybe isn't getting quite as beat up as he was before and he's still doing good damage. : )
Just realized I've been progressively setting the sound level for games I've picked up recently lower and lower. Recorded some KOF '97:GM as reference audio (which used my MVS KOF 2000 for reference)--that's nice and beefy loud, and I'll try to set all the other games to being about that ear-tingling!
