Eye of the beholder 2 corrupt all save slots

[Vaninna]

I managed to finish Eob 1 by cycling between around 10 copies of game disk 2. I kind of got a feel for when to glitches would destroy a save. I think one way was to immediately quit the game when glitches occurred. If I loaded another save from another disk the glitch was still there, and stayed with disk too. But I do not recall in detail. I checked for viruses and found none. I figure all that glitching was due to me not having cleaned my floppy drives good enough.

And yes, that is a horrible cheat. More like a punishment for trying to cheat.

Besides, it's possible that the glitch resets other content of a maze, like the quests statuses (mark of Darkmoor etc; who knows?). That would make the game unwinnable.

I'm not talking about consequences of cheat (which are obvious ), I'm talking about nonsense of using cheat for more keys mentioned as "bonus" of cheat.

Ah I misunderstood! I agree with you!
I also think that this was not a cheat at all, but a real problem (that happened because the game having 3 disks, and Amiga requiring disk swapping, unless the game was HD installed) that a player completely misunderstood and reported to some magazine of that era, finding then its way to HOL...

FYI: Insert disk 1... Then the image attached.

If I swap to another disk 1 in game doors are locked again.
