This is my all-time favorite Infocom game. It is, IMHO, the best adventure game ever written. If you need any help, post. After Spellbreaker would come Zork Zero, Zork III, the original Colossal Cave Adventure, Zork I, and Hitchhiker's Guide (not necessarily in that order). Might as well throw Bureaucracy in there somewhere, too. I always felt Infocom should have licensed Colossal Cave Adventure and put their wonderful parser on top of it and put it in a nice package. It would have rivaled Zork I! You can't find CCA on the Mac, can you? +-------------------------------+---------------------------------------+ | Edward J.
