I love how detailed this guide is and I never realized how important it was to taste the dust, I need to remember that for my next playthrough :D

OK, this is outright amazing.  I haven't read it all the way through, but just the parts I read are so good.

Honestly it makes me wonder if I can even find the files I copied from my CURSE floppy disk back in 2001.  The last time I tried playing it was like 2007, and I thought maybe I just had a buggy version, but I cannot believe I didn't think to reread the stupid arch inscription.  I feel like just knowing that will be enough to get me through if I try again!  (Yeah, yeah, I know, it won't be.)

I know of at least three different VERSIONS of Curse out there, some of which have an unreachable ending. Some people think the designers created other versions deliberately and let them spread among the piracy community to frustrate people and encourage people to pick up the official versions.
