Author's Note:
=============
This walkthrough/FAQ was actually written/compiled during April/May 2002.

I did not want to release it early as I have written this up for my personal
record ONLY. I do not want people to just follow instructions in a walkthrough
and not play the game themselves.

                    SO PLAY THE GAME BEFORE YOU READ THIS!!!!

Use this guide only as a reference.

Anyway, the info in this document was originally in a non-electronical format.
It took a long time for it to be digitised and it is still not fully completed.
Information such as Monster Stats, etc, still yet to be added.

The order of the contents is not finalised. I will have to think about
re-organising it again later IF I have time. There WILL be lots of typos, cause
I didn't have time to double check again.

Resaon for releasing:
Well, it's been on my hd for a while and since it's been typed up, why not.
Plus I'm kind of tired and don't have enough time to update/finish it anytime
soon, so might as well leave it like this for now.
