I'm at the point in the game where you have to collect megacredits to upgrade your castle. I got the eight from the Temple of Yak and upgraded the castle. At this point in the game, you are supposed to receive the key to the Tomb of 1000 terrors so you can collect more megacredits; this did not happen, so now the game is, as far as I can tell, unbeatable as I cannot get the master builder to give me access to the dungeon beneath the castle even though I have freed Crodo.

Is there anything I can do at this point in the game other than cheat? Returning to Newcastle does nothing and I just get the dialogue to talk to the master builder in Castle Burlock and my castle is unupgraded. It would seem that the real bug is that the game ate my megacredits when I gave them to the master builder.

EDIT: So I rested inside my castle and the stone of 1000 terrors appeared in my inventory with no dialogue, but the town is still unupgraded. I guess there are still enough megacredits in the game for me to do the remaining upgrades but there's still something fishy going on here.

Did you speak to Artemus to get the permit to dig the dungeon?

There are a total of 30 Mega Credits in the game from all three relevant dungeons that contain them. (Note that I play the original DOS version, patched to remove the Town Portal item bug, among others)
There are 30? I only count 26 (8 from Yak, 8 from 1000 terrors, 10 from Golem Dungeon).

I had already freed Crodo before returning to Newcastle to get the stone of 1000 terrors, so yes. I ended up getting enough megacredits by doing the remaining two dungeons and completing the game that way.

For anyone else who encounters this bug, all I can suggest is that you attempt to rest in Newcastle. Worst case scenario you use "I lost it" to get the sword and beat the game that way. Or kill one of the Xeens in Darkside and get the scepter that way (apparently this works).
