Selling Mushrooms to Healer in VGA

Post by SgtGrayMatter » Sat Jan 11, 2014 1:17 pm

Quick question about this: All the points lists I can find say this should be giving me a point, but it doesn't. I do still receive payment, and I get points for everything else, but this doesn't seems to want to work. Advice?

I have not paid attention to the points, but selling the mushrooms has a bug. The bug allows you to collect and sell the mushrooms without limit.

Yep, that's right. In the original EGA version of QfG1, you can only sell mushrooms 3 times - after which the Healer will say "Thank you, but I have enough mushrooms". In the VGA version, you can sell as many mushrooms as you like and make lots of money that way. ;)

Ha! Well, not trying to exploit anything, but I'm sick of finishing the game with 499 points. I don't even get a point the first time I sell to her. No workaround?

I just tried it. It gave me a point after the third time.

Hm. I didn't try it multiple times. Worked for me after three as well. Good to know!
