the lights out when they're done. Endings In all, there are three different endings to the game: The "Bela" ending, which requires dropping the silver cross before meeting the King for the second time (and therefore, disbelieving the Queen), then accepting Bela's offer to chase Aletheides. The "Ship" ending, which requires holding on to the silver cross when meeting the King for the second time (and therefore, believing the Queen), then choosing to board the spaceship after killing Bela. The "Cosmic Forge" ending, completely independent of whether the party believed the Queen, which is achieved by trying to take the Cosmic Forge when prompted. Reception Computer Gaming Worlds Marc Clupper in 1991 praised the game's detailed weapons and skills, user interface, graphics, digitized audio, and non-grid maps.
