Summary: Adventure is waiting...

The following post will be a new interactive graphic adventure game by Al Evans,a "certified" Mac programmer.

It is written in Lisa Pascal and 68000 assembly (I'm told).

Sorry to sound so bland, I'm at a loss for words. It is an exciting game... you
are Captain Lance Magneto, stranded on a planet.  

Your misson:  recover the crown of control and escape.

Problems:  Your ship is wrecked, you have no weapons, and your tricorder is 
missing.


There are creatures of all shapes and sizes around, and if you have the
MacinTalk driver (from Apple) all of them will talk!  (512 is also needed, I 
believe)

It is shareware, and the author wishes it to be distributed as much as possible!

Look for it in an upcoming copy of MacUser!  Neil Shapiro loves it!

It is 6 packited files, and the packit file was in turn binhexed.

it is over 200k, but I believe it is worth the download time.


A sequel is coming soon!

Remember: It takes just as long for me to upload it as for you to download it,
so be patient!
