   • 1993, "jbatka", Multiple colors for PC compatible (on newsgroup rec.hack)

     My question is do all of the executable versions for PC compatibles have the color option enabled? If so, what am I missing to not get say yellow for a hill orc, grey for a goblin, white for my pet, red for a wolf, brown for a warg, etc?

   • 2007, Stephen O Glosecki, Myth in Northwest Europe:

     The monsters are identified not as trolls, a word apparently not available in English at the time, but (among other things) as wargs, whatever that means; Grendel is called a heoro-wearh at line 1267 and his mother a grund-wyrgen at line 1518.
