CCS64 Forum

i tried to play might & magic part 1, and i got to the point where it says
press # key to enter town

well i tried everything, left shift 3 right shift 3, i pressed every single key there is, i went into the menu and i tried insert key...

i jest cant get this game to start, everything iv tried does not register the # key i need to start the game, i also had his problem with the original dos version of the game on dosbox, ...

what in the world is going on ? any suggestions ? or some expert t out there knows the answer to this problem already ?

i am in need of major help

thank u for taking the time to read and reply

Isn't there a PDF file that comes with the CCS64 package, which shows the keyboard lay-out?

Yes but I don’t understand it (the .pdf file)

The only thing I want to accomplish is finding out how to make the game {might and magic 1 book 1} recognize the # key {shift + 3} has been pressed, Everything I’V tried, the game will simply not recognize the # key.

It’s needed in order to start to the game, if the game doesn’t read the # key as being pressed (executed) the game will not start.

And to make sure u know
Once again
I don’t understand how to make the game recognize the # key as being executed, I’V tried many of things, including pain stockingly reading all the notes and going over everything provided in the CCS64 V3.3 very thoroughly.

For me, pressing Shift/3 produces the # symbol in CCS64. It also starts a new game with M&M1, but it gives the (right) message that I didn't create a character.

When you press Shift/3 in the blue boot-up screen, what symbol do you get?

(BTW I tried this version of the game.)

yes in the blue boot screen i get the # symble
but when i start the game and u see the message
press # to enter town
i press shift + # like normal
but the game only reconizes i pressed the 3 key
it totaly ignores that i pressed shift so to speak

and when u tried that version of the game, did it work for you ?
where u able to get into town ?

HAHA u can end this thread, i finaly figured it out
i had to find and download a maunal to explain that u dont press the # key to enter town
you have to press the number of the town your charactors are in
its working well now
thanks everyone.....
