This page is rather stubbly and could use some expansion. Are you a bad enough dude to rescue this article? |
Pool of Radiance is the first in a series of Gold Box games, and for that matter the first proper Advanced Dungeons & Dragons game. The engine for this game would prove to be quite reusable for the next few years.
To do: Revisional differences. |
Debug Mode
When starting the game through the DOS command prompt, type in start.exe STING.
The following effects will happen on entering this:
- Skip the title screen.
- Pressing Control + C quits the program.
- Get maps for all of the areas.
- When the player is in a training menu, press J. Training is free, there is no class limitation, and the EXP required is given after doing the training.
- Alt + X or the - key kills all the enemies, complete with a message saying "The Gods intervene!"

Unused Texts
Hidden in start.exe is a few text strings that don't make a proper in-game appearance:
Gaseous Form Slipperiness Flying Treasure Finding Missile Attractor Of Maglubiyet Secr Door & Trap Det Gd Dragon Control
