Q: Can I distribute screens I make for Gold Digger?
A: Yes! You must include a description that says a registered copy
of the game is required to play the screens. However, you cannot
distribute the Gold Digger game program itself unless it is an unregistered
copy.
Q: The arrow keys don't move the man?
A: By default, when you first install and run the game, the keys
are set-up depending on the type of keyboard you have. You can see what
they default keys are, and also change them by selecting Set Keys
from the Editor menu. Then you can pick whatever keys you want to
move your man by clicking the buttons, and then pressing the key to
control that direction.
Q: The game runs very slow or very fast?
A: You can change the game speed during a game by pressing
the Apple key and a number key; you probably pressed this by
mistake. Select Set Speed from the Editor menu to fix the speed.
Also, the game might run slow if you leave open some Control Panels
or programs in the background.
Q: Are there any "cheat" keys?
A: Yes. During a game if you press I+Control (hold the letter I and then press the
control key) a menu appears. Select one of the options to increase your health,
lives, etc. Rememeber if you do this you cannot receive a high score for that
game!
Q: I can't save the changes I made to screens in the editor?
A: If you have not yet registered the game, you cannot save changes.
Q: I registered but I still can't save screens because Save is dimmed out?
A: You cannot save changes directly to 'The Official Lost Mines' or the
'Novice Mines.' To change these screens, first select Create New Screen File
from the Editor menu. Then go back and forth between your new screen file and
'The Official Lost Mines' screens by selecting the file names from the
bottom of the Editor menu. Use Copy and Paste under the Screen
menu to copy from 'The Official Lost Mines' to your own screens. You will then
be able to save changes to the screens in your own screens file.
Q: Is there a version of Gold Digger 'The Lost Mines' for Microsoft Windows?
A: It should be released before Summer 2002. Please check back.
Q: I need help solving a screen in 'The Official Lost Mines?'
A: First, go to the screen you are having difficulty with and
select Show Hints from the Screen menu. Then if you still
have problems with the screen send an e-mail request for help to the
master Gold Digger player,
Vince White. Specify what screen
number and be as specific as you can about your difficult situation.
Q: I am too young to have any money, so can I get a free registration
code?
A: Dear parents, T&T Software encourages you to teach your
children that they can earn something good if they are willing to
put forth a little effort, no matter how young they are. (For example,
when the author of this game was 6 years old he used to sell
small plants to the neighbors and make as much as
ten dollars in one or two days--and that was twenty years ago.)
T&T Software spent a lot of time and money developing Gold Digger
'The Lost Mines' so we hope our customers understand that fifteen
dollars is a bargain for software of its quality.
