I had to wait two weeks to get the color version (after I bought the B&W7<%s~?
one) - But it sure was worth the wait ( why can't they just sell the color
version??)
Anyway, this game has to have the best, most detailed use of the MAC's
high res graphic capability yet!... 256 colors , with very careful attention
to detail in all graphics - over 200 monsters - and 250 objects (armor etc)
It still retains the clutzy copy protection though... ALSO: It really
needs 2 megs (in multifinder), and some of the pictures are a bit slow to draw
(not bad on a IIci tho..)
Also, In tundara (those who've played it) - whenever I leave the inn, it
puts me in the 'no magic' area within the town - around the perimiter - ???
Why??

Also, I have been using Hypercard to document my game, with a card for each
location, and dungeon (90 cards or so so far) - I am using the built in
mapping feature of the game, and when I display a map, I take a shot of
it with 'exposure' and paste into the appropriate Hypercard card.
Unfortunately, now I can't paste the nice color maps into HC...
Wish it were two years from now when (hopefully) there will be an 8 bit
version of HC available...  :)
