Ambermoon by Thalion Software

The English version (v1.07) of Ambermoon was never actually released. It did undergo some basic beta testing but no-where near as much as the german version.

There are SEVERAL bugs in the game. Most are cosmetic (Map labels still in German etc.) However there are at least 3 game crashing BUGS.

Luminors Tower

On the second floor of Luminors Towere is a very annoying bug that occurs with v1.07/en only. There is a locked door in the room, approaching this door an the program will crash.

This is due to a bug in one of the files AmbermoonDir/Amberfiles/2Map_texts.amb

The workaround is to backup this file (rename it to something else), and then copy the GERMAN version of this file.

German 2Map_texts.amb

The german version shows the ordinary locked door picture and hints you in rune letters to use the sphere of opening. Use the sphere as if it were a key and the door opens.

Once the door is unlocked the v1.07/en version behaves same again. You can revert to using the English file again.

Another trick that I cannot confirm works, is to use the JUMP Spell.
