Okay, back in February of 2002 I said I didn’t expect to upgrade my home theater projector until full HDTV resolution was available, but I spoke too soon. It looks like affordable full HDTV projector resolution is still years off, so I’ve just sprung for the new Sony VPL-HS20. It boasts much improved contrast, more input options, better computer signal syncing, quieter fan, better pixel fill ratio, etc… all for half the price that I paid for my 10HT three and a half years ago. And yup, I looked around and found the best price at ProjectorPeople.com again. (Hey, if you buy from them, please mention me as a referral.)

Hiya. I was wondering if you knew (or remembered) the offsets (and such) in the Apple ][ code for WoD to well, cheat.I got very far into WoD when I was 16 years old (I’m 33 now!).Somehow, my game disks (one of them?) became corrupted, and I couldn’t finish the game. I recently downloaded an Apple ][ emulator and found roms to your game!(Is this ok?) Anyway, I’d like to cheat myself back to where I was, or at least remove the stamina reduction over time functionality and such. The “Applewin” program seems to have a decent debugger.. though I’m racking my brain to remember 6502 assembly language. =)I know it’s been a LONG time, but if you remember anything, I’d appreciate it.Thanks for writing such a great game. Playing it again brings back some great memories.-V-
Geez… talk about a backlog of old email…. sorry for the (yikes!) year long delay!Thanks for writing and thanks for your interest in WoD.
Here are some of the key offsets from the character file. (No, I most definitely am not recalling this from memory!!) I believe all the values were in BCD (binary coded decimal) — in other words, 255 would be represented in hex as “0255” not “00FF”. hit points: bytes 26 & 27, stamina: 28 && 29, gold: 30 & 31
Enjoy!

Hehe, I was wondering why you never responded. ;)
Thanks for the answer!
Take care,

ps. I have some great memories of some of the first games I’ve ever really loved when I was just getting into computers in my teens. Thanks for one of them.
Here’s some pictures and videos from a day out on San Antonio Lake in central California to try waterskiing with Ralph, Belinda, Jeanie and another friend of theirs. Alas, I was not successful… and I feel like I about pulled my arms out of their sockets. But riding the inflatable raft around was hysterically fun! Click on through for the full gallery:

Hi Ethan,
Thanks for your message. I’m glad to hear you enjoyed the game! You certainly were awfully close to finishing it — just a couple of steps away!
Thanks again,
Chris
