Quote:What exactly happens when you attempt to save your game in A1 or 2?

I have, at one point or another, downloaded the demos for A1 and A2, but I wound up deleting them because neither program would successfully save my games; it got really old having to start from the beginning every single time. I have not had this problem with A3, however. That one saves correctly. My computer stats:
Mac G3; OS 9.2.2
I close all other applications before opening the games, so there shouldn't be a conflict there. Corrupt files, maybe? I really can't figure it out.

Just off the coast of the Isle of Bigail, between Point Contemplation and the Southpoint Lighthouse, lies an island. I can see a group of gremlins wandering around, just waiting for a fight. But there's a problem...
I can't get to it! It is exactly six mouse clicks away from shore, and the Orb of Thralni will only let you fly for five mouse clicks before dumping you in the water to drown. I've tried hasting the whole party, but apparently the Orb isn't affected that way.
Six clicks away....how the heck do I get to this island? There must be a way; why would they put an inaccessible island in the game?

I'm getting into this particular quest a lot later than I should have, I think. I've been all over Malloc and Bengaro, where this Firefox chick is supposed to hang out, but I can't find her. Bengaro has long been taken over by Troglos...could she have been one of the casualties?
If so, is there another way for me to get the key to the Monestary of Madness? I've been on the island, but without the key...
Any suggestions? Or am I just SOL...

Hey all, I'm new here. I just registered my copy of A3 today, and I'm a little confused about the above mentioned topic. How does one set up a merchant shop? I've read every bit of information I could find, and I've found nothing beyond the A3 introduction that says (and I'm paraphrasing here), "Save the world or be a merchant...buy a house..."
I've combed the main game menu, the A3 Manual, and the internet for info on this as well as how to purchase a house with absolutely no luck. Furthermore, I've not come across anyone in any town who's asked me if I want to do either of those things. Is this something a character can do only after he/she has reached a certain point in the game? Or have I missed something really obvious?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Avernum 1 & 2 Saving Problems
in Tech Support
Posted
SUCCESS!!!!
After comparing the files in the A3 folder with those in the A2 folder, I noticed a difference. The A3 application program was titled: Avernum 3 v1.0. The A2 program - the one giving me problems - was titled: Avernum 2 2.0.app.
On a hunch, I retitled the A2 file, deleting the ".app" part, and suddenly, VOILA! It *was* saving the game all along; it's just that I couldn't access it with the application program titled incorrectly for some odd reason. Such technical quirks can be very annoying. I'm just glad I found a solution.
