- Quest Master from Miles Computing
- Broken by R. Bubba Magillicutty
-
- PROTECTION:
- "Secure Wrap", which isn't. Standard text-mode doc check at the
- beginning of the game. It would lock up my debugger if not done properly. I
- cranked out a loader in 5 minutes, after trying to save it out for the same
- amount of time. There was a small interrupt problem with the saved-out
- version. And you could see all the text, and thus cheat. We wouldn't want
- that now, would we? I'll go back and play with it, but in the interest of
- speed I'll just release this encrypted version.
-
- GRAPHICS: CGA/EGA/TDY/VGA
- SOUND: IBM/Adlib - Sound driver required for Adlib, and you only get
- opening music.
- CONTROLS: Keyboard - It's a text adventure, eh?
- SPAM: Yes, dear.
-
- Yes, a text adventure, with graphics. I played with it for a few
- moments and didn't get anywhere. Miles Computing generally does nice work,
- but the scrolling at the beginning is pitiful. I hope the game is better.
- Docs may be required to translate the stuff on one of the doors; I'll look
- into it. If it seems like it's worth it, I'll put out some docs. But who
- plays text adventures? A good Infocom, maybe, but this?

-
- More greets to The Byter, and to Mobius too this time around.
