YES, I'm aware this game has AdLib support! I'm still not entirely certain how I missed this, though really, I still prefer the Tandy 3-Voice sound over the AdLib sound. :P

This happens to be the only Super Solver game I had when making this video, mostly because it was the only one we had access to in elementary school, yet the school only had one license for it, not a site license, so only one person could be playing it at a time, meaning most students had to either watch someone else play or just play something else. :/

It's funny... this is one of those edutainment titles which really shouldn't be all that fun because of how direct the educational component is, but what makes it fun is that there's more to the challenge than simply answering questions... plus the massive number of "prizes" to win as you play through several dozen times. :B

Additional Information and Corrections:

* The origins of the Death Phaser can be traced all the way back to this old filler video of mine: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2XyZbcFI3RQ

* I call them "hints" throughout the episode but the game refers to them as "clues". The two words are kinda synonymous for me, kinda like how I originally referred to the graphics scalers DOSBox can use as "filters" when I first started ADG. I didn't catch the hints/clues thing until I was past editing and proofing the final render. :P

* One thing I didn't mention is that as your skill level rises, the bridges become unstable and you have to start jumping over them instead of walking across them, otherwise you fall through. You can also find more treasure per level of the mountain as your skill level goes up.

* I don't actually know what happens if you collect every treasure in the game. Since you can get the same treasure multiple times, yet it only ever shows up once inside the clubhouse, filling up every shelf in the clubhouse would take a very long time and countless playthroughs. :P
