Well, don't quote me, but one night after a few large ones, some of us
decided it's a 'circle of life' type thing. Probably because of the monkeys,
kind of pre-human, always trying to escape/defeat evil 'the thing in the
shadows'. Other than that I can't say.
A few other things had me puzzled in the game though.
In the Ireland bit, when looking for bits of the skull, the fox's den seems
a valid direction, but it's not, or is it there for the sole purpose of
sending the fox to scare the chickens?
In the Mayan bit, the object was to bring back worship of Quetzacoatl
instead of Tezcatlipoca. Now I'm no expert on Central American religion, but
Tezcatlipoca didn't exist in Mayan mythology, only Aztec, some confusion
there, although they got the Xibalba bit right (yes, I watch Discovery
Channel).
Also, when fighting the Spider Goddess, you're not supposed to be able to
save the game after picking up the skulls, but I did, then got thrown out of
the web and found I still had the skulls in the inventory.
In the China bit, the old man gives over the turtle and a brass plate(in the
Dragon Room). The turtle is used, but what's the plate for? Must have been a
bit of redundant program.

I guess most games have these odd bits in them -.I thought a second journey
around hell only to find the mushroom is 'no longer available, sorry' was
quite amusing - I guess the programmers can't get everything right.

Does it say something about me that my
favourite song is "Tragedy" by the BeeGees?
