I can't get past the copy protection part. The word it asks for never lines up with the PDF.

Page 11, line 6, word 1 for me is "managed", but it's asking for a word starting with "i".

I've tried a few of these and still can't get past.

EDIT: I figured out that you have to look about a line up and try and find the word nearer there instead.

As I recall, this was the last graphical adventure released by Microprose. I reviewed it years ago, and remember it possessing a great deal of atmosphere for the period.

Where did you review it? I would be interested in reading your review, and seeing what you thought of it. I agree with you, that it has a lot of atmosphere.

Deleting the advertisement for Rex, Dragon and Bloodnet would have saved 1,5 MB of download. But you probably knew that.

Nah it wasn't - the last adventure was Dragonsphere (1994). I loved Dragonsphere - amazing graphics, great animation but most of all, a brilliant story.

And finally we can play the game in DOSBOX with speech - it didn't work correctly before.

Ohhh, I heard this one was good! I guess it is! Wow, look at those colors. That has to be some of the best artwork I've ever seen in an adventure game, especially from 1993. It makes Alone In The Dark look drab!

Oh, and fantastic work on the review! k: Must be one of the best written and complete, if not the best, reviews on any abandonware site!
