“if you move your mouse to the very bottom of the 3D view, the arrow changes and you can look down (same goes for up)”

It doesn’t help colourblindness but thank you 🙂 Actually, when I switched back to the game after writing that post, my torch had gone out – and because of the VGA palette, the green tiles now appeared grey in the darkness, making the task much easier!

I remember this section very vaguely – I actually thought it was much later in the game, but I do remember some workaround, a spell that just obliterates all Animal types and makes the apocalyptic encounter incredibly trivial.

I think you’re right about the 3D sections’ oppressiveness – I had been thinking of the awkwardness, limited visibility and mobility as an accidental feature, but it makes a lot of sense if it’s by design 🙂
