    your fantasy!

    As a buyer of the boxed Macintosh version, I just wanted to post a recommendation. It's a well-made text-adventure with an unique story and a world that is fun to explore. I found it not too hard, especially when
    compared to old Infocom adventures, and was able to solve it relatively hassle-free. (I think I only got stuck once or twice for a short period of time)

    Only downside I found was that saving a game wouldn't work on System 6,
    but requires System 7 and up. Though that might have been fixed already.
    (I know the author did for the successor)

    If you have an old Macintosh and you like text adventures, give this a
    try. It's a fun trip back in gaming history.
