Some of the details are different from my hazy memory, but this is surely the one I'm thinking of, thanks. I can't actually find any non-copywrited clips on youtube so I can't check it out myself, but based on the description it still sounds unfair to me. Dungeoneers are supposed to be noble, and if someone can't offer you something concrete in return you help them anyway on the basis your generosity will bear fruit later (maybe Maldane comes and distracts Lord Feare right as he's about to vaporise you, enabling you to escape) An alternative conversation and death that I wouldn't consider unfair:

(team needs to free Malderne, if they do she'll save them later but the character "Malderne" doesn't know that now so cannot bargain with that knowledge)

"Please free me"

"What will you give us"

"nothing"

"Really, nothing, then why should we help you?"

"I thought Dungeoneers were supposed to be noble. Begone, I'll find someone else!"

"OK we'll help you"

"Bah, too late, leave!"

Ending in death at the end even if the team recants. Tregaurd telling them off for being too mercenary. Requiring a team to ask twice to get a reward is not right in my opinion.

When I watched it as a kid, the only one that struck me as unfair was along the lines of team gets object, later comes across situation where one of the female neutral charactera needs the object, the team asks what she will give them in return, the character says that they will give them nothing, team frees the character from her situation anyway. Team dies several rooms later due to the lack of a spell she would have given them and Tregard admonishes them for not driving a harder bargain. I may have missed some subtlety, as I was a kid at the time and I only had one chance to see it, but that one seemed unfair to me. Even if they'd just helped out without asking for anything, that would be what a dungeoneer should do, and I would consider the loss unfair. However, they did ask for a reward, were rebuffed and lost because they were not forceful enough. Anybody know which episode that was, so I could look at it again?

Could somebody tell me how to complete the Dark Talisman game on this page.

I think I've tried every permutation and it's driving me mad.

*Some Spoilers

The clues from the end bosses, First password is Death, (take the skull at beginning), second password is doom (need to get to the wight by taking the right path after the pie room, as he days DOOM). Search around the X door. I've looked for hidden links or hidden pictures in all the rooms around the X chamber, can't see anything. Can anybody please tell me how to defeat this game?
