Yeah, I loved how in both Conquests games you kind of need the help of the manual to answer the riddles and puzzles, but the answers aren't just written right in there. You actually have to think about them.
Actually, many years ago, I was playing Camelot with my kid brother, and we had long since lost the copy protection, so for the riddles at the end about Aphrodite, we used our copy of
Bulfinch's Mythology to try and find the right answers. And we did.
I just played through Camelot for the bajillionth time the other day, and it's just as much fun and just as great a game today as it was way back when. It's my #1 favorite game of all time, with Longbow coming in at a close second.
