I think I smell a rat..... has anyone EVER actually found the talisman screens without trouble?  Everyone appears to be going round in circles.

LMFAO @ the parser jokes btw.

Well, I've played this game many times and I've managed to find the alphabet dungeons, but when I get through that there isn't many options you can do (it's all automated) and I end up on the normal path again afterwards.  When I get to the end and defeat the baddie I encounter I get one of those fake endings again!

So, I don't know whether there's a hidden button (on the right screen) you have to locate with your cursor and click on it or something, but I followed the clues carefully and to the letter and I'm still not receiving the 'true' ending!  Any more advice?
