You must not be on the final boss as the final boss is easier than 
anything else in the game. What does the 'final' boss look like?

You're on a circular platform - just run around it avoiding the missiles 
from the end boss (easy).  Keep blasting the imps etc that climb onto the 
platform as you run around (moderately easy) and each time you've killed 
enough and the soul cube is recharged let the end boss have it (easy).  Do 
this a few times and bob's yer uncle...  If you've got this far you have 
encountered (and beaten) harder bosses.

HTH.

Yeah I did it right after posting... I won. I killed the wee beasties which
recharged soul cube, it reminded me every time which was cool, then used
that charge fired off at the giant beastie, three shots and I won. woohoo.
In the beginning, the Makron was harder but I've only beaten the shub-
nigguroth once, and I don't know how I did it. 

And oh yes, if he's got bitch tits, I wouldn't want 'im fer me uncle! Otherwise e'd better be rich...

Get an LCD so ya can see him better?  LOL!  ;o)   <<<<

there is a strategy to every 'boss' encounter in the game.  you were meant 
to defeat him in a specific way.   I had more fun with the boss before the 
end game boss :)
I'd have to load it up and go thru it again to even hint to you about that 
one.  Sorry.

Shubbie?  She's *easy*!  Gee whiz man!   I was one among the first crowd to 
get to the end of the game and we *all* got stumped.  For about two days is 
all.  Then someone pops in the ng and hollers "I DID IT!"
clues:
haven't you run around that ledge ramp and hopped thru that teleporter a few 
times?  Have you noticed that where ever that little ball is, that's where 
you pop out of that teleporter?  Watch the ball ;)

"Bobbing" anybody's uncle just doesn't sound to kosher. ;-).

Of course I'd probably steer clear of a big serving of spotted dick
too if I saw it on the menu (no matter how good it might turn out to
be). =:-O

I think you'd much rather 'discover' as much of this one as you can.  So the

Damn McG - I'm hurt... ;-)

BTW - OT but I just bought a Logitech joystick to try some combat flying 
sims and I'm currently d-loading the software - noticed they now have two 
lots of new software for XP x64.  Looks like some manufacturers are starting 
to cater for you flash folk...

i just bought a Logitech joystick last week myself :)  Clean easy to deal 
with style, seems pretty tough and its gonna have to be.   USB.   Logitech 
Extreme 3D Pro.  My old MS Sidewinder 3D Pro still works fine.  Just don't 
have a gameport to plug it into!   Plus, i've been using that one so many 
years it IS starting to get kinda rickety.   And the X3D Pro matches my new 
puter case ;)

...only the Attack 3 here but it *is* my first ever joystick - not sure how 
(or if) I'll take to these type of games so didnt want to spend a fortune on 
it.  Seems to be a great joystick for the money tho'.  I'll be trying IL2: 
Forgotten Battles first.

That's a good sim!  I have that.  Actually, I'm about the install the whole 
package on this rig.   that's IL2 fb+AEP+PF in a merged install.  I see it 
as a flight SIM more than a game.  It does have careers and missions and 
all.  But the real fun is flying with a bunch of others with TeamSpeak 
going! :)  I do love the realism of it.  It's one of the reasons I got the 
6800GT and also the X2!

Any of you using the MX1000 mouse?  I bought one two weeks ago.  It's da 
bomb.  Looks like there's x64 drivers for it but none for Linux.  I 
think it's possible but haven't figured out an easy way to get it to 
work optimally in Linux.

Sorry cant help with Linux and dont have the MX1000.  Hear lot's of good 
stuff about that mouse.  I'm looking at the new MX518 though - been reading 
lot's of great reviews and it's more my price range ;-)

$80 for a mouse is pretty nuts, I agree.  I've never had a cordless 
mouse, previously I had an MX500, and discovered that's just exactly 
what I want.  Wasn't like the cord was always getting caught, but it 
happened enough.  The Logitech software is really excellent now, you can 
customize all 10 buttons the MX1000 has (including the left/right 
scroll) depending on which application you're using.  That actually 
takes a little registry tweaking to accomplish, easy enough.  I bind the 
scroll left/right buttons to lean l/r for those games that have that 
feature.  Smooth and precise, you can put it on anything with the laser, 
one's knee for example and it will work. 
So it works OK in Linux but only recognizes 3 out of the 10 buttons.

MX518 is a really pretty cool mouse, I am impressed with mine. It goes to 1600 dpi
and has proven to be very responsive and accurate while playing. The one prob
is the shape of it, not exactly ergonomically perfect for the hand, so I would
more recommend a Razer for shape to the hand, I'll get one in the next few months.
