That was fun! (possible spoilers)

[AgentScotty]

I got the full version last month (but discovered this forum only now    ) and ended up playing it four times, but I think I found most everything.  

To verify what was necessary to get to The Palace in the Clouds, I tried showing up there empty-handed.  

Finding the Warp Zone was the key to knowing how much I had missed.  

Perhaps the only thing I haven't done is played the slots to a "Three Boom Barrels and Bust!" ending (assuming that's possible    )

Well, you know, you COULD play the slot machine until you won several thousand coins...

How did you find the Warp Zone?

[AgentScotty]

I scored a few jackpots, got access to the teleporter, and saw the team pic.  

I noticed a few planets mixed in with the falling stars on the main menu.  Clicking on one of them got me into the Warp Zone.  

Something I was wondering about...

In one of the Glacier levels, there's a snowman I could see, but couldn't get to.  Was that just decoration (like the water in Lifewater Oasis    ) or is there a way to get to it?  

[The Romero]

Oh yes, there's a very special way to get to it.     And you'll really like it, too.

I'm partway through my fifth play-through (beginning of Bridia) so I'll have to keep my eyes peeled.

It reminds me a little of Chip's Challenge, but the graphics and animation are alot better. I also like the floor over floor, and verious platform heights. Interaction with people is cool too, alot like RPG almost.

Wow! I just finished HDB for the first time. It's awesome. Not many games these days manage to combine story and replay value like HDB does.

I'm going to replay HDB (and I NEVER replay games.) This time I'm going to need to get that Cross-Diode conductor, so I guess I'm going to have to speed through. Sometimes those faeries can take a while to teleport stuff. Any way to speed that up?

I also need all 30 monkeystones, so I can become the ultimate monkey god. Some of the things I missed were pretty obvious. I picked up the tea, but I never got around to bringing it to that British guy. I also didn't use the pizza slicer.

Anyway, HDB rocks, and I'm hardly done with it yet. I can't wait for your next game. Do you have any plans of porting it? I hope so.

If you want additional insight to some of your speculations before you play a second time, there's a HDB thread I replied to over on the 3DRealms forums, and a HDB spoiler thread I posted myself.  

My subsequent playing experiences later proved some of my earlier speculations incorrect, some of which can be seen in my posts in those threads.

It wasn't until the third time I played that I was able to find (almost    ) everything, and I played a fourth time to verify some things.  I'm partway through my fifth time, and I just found out in this thread that there's at least one more thing for me to find.  

I had considered posting a link over there to here, but there is unfortunately some degree of trollishness (in other threads) over there, and I didn't want to risk any of that ending up over here.

So far the only way I've found was to use the awesome cheat you just posted.

I had tried getting the gem in Fatfrog Deeps, but that didn't seem to have any effect, unless I did it wrong.

Any tips?

I'll give you a tip: on that map, with the snow-Yorp (!), you can go next to the building at the end of the level...all the way down the side to a secret area.  When you talk to the guy there, he says something.  Something that has 8 letters in it..... !!!!

I feel like I just fell out of the "Stupid!" tree, and hit every branch on the way down!  

Thanks, that was cool!

Yes!  thank you.  I figured I would have to put in a different password, but vorticon was the only relevent 8 letter word I could think of.

Just curious... what's a Yorp?

[Forcas]

Well... I did it. I got all thirty monkey stones... I'm guessing that time has nothing to do with getting the Tyrannium Cross-Diode conductor, but I beat the game in like 2 hours anyway.

The cloud palace was easy, 'cause I had all the goo. I'm gonna play through the thing anyway.

It's funny how the game has all of the references to THEY and THEM, but you never find out anything about THEY or THEM.
For some reason, I think THEY are the Omnibots.

Seems like I've found all the secrets except one.
Haven't tried the debug stuff yet.
