Bugs:

- Clone kovplus: List of protection related bugs in this game. If you know any more, let us know on the message board. You can't pick up the fire sword after 10 times in the second mission with the character "ZhuGeLiang". Reproduction notes: 1)At the place where there are several miasma and ensure there are more than two players (ZHUGE must be included), ZHUGE hits the case lies top right corner of the screen. Then he says "Look out! Maybe there are secret rooms around this area." go into the room from the top right corner (see snapshot 1). 2)Here you will see three weapons: A fire sword on the left side (can be only used by ZHUGE and MA); A fire arrow on the right side (can be only used by HUANG); A SHENG HUO LING on the middle (see snapshot 2a snapshot 2b). 3)To pick up the fire sword, ZHUGE must put on coverup frist (see snapshot 3a snapshot 3b). 4)The fire sword won't be in your hand till you pick it up 10 times (on the arcade machine). But here you'll never pick it up. Also you'll never go outside (see snapshot, inp file and save state). kovplus065gre xll
