Message-ID: <3027@ut-sally.UUCP> Date: Thu, 9-Aug-84 17:16:26 EDT Article-I.D.: ut-sally.3027 Posted: Thu Aug 9 17:16:26 1984 Date-Received: Sun, 12-Aug-84 01:30:29 EDT References: <167@wjvax.UUCP> Organization: U. Texas CS Dept., Austin, Texas Lines: 17 [ --- ] My experience was similar, but not identical. After getting zapped by the bug, if I fired up the saved game and did an inventory as my first move, I got several (i.e. more than the normal 1) moves before the game saved itself again. After I discovered that my escape was only temporary, I quit, so I can't say whether it would have been permanent if I had gone down some stairs. It wouldn't surprise me if it were true, though -- someone else suggested only saving games when you're sitting on the stairs and then going down them as the first move of the restored game as a method for avoiding the bug altogether.
