mistaking the hostility directed at the antique dealer, Montague Hyde. You can see the delight in his eyes every time he gazes at another heirloom that he might be able to cart off, if Jack can't meet the debts on the estate left to him along with everything else. I guess his Lordship is resigned to having to deal with him. 9.30 P.M.: April 26th: Quite a meal. But I guess I w asn't the only one surprised to hear Lionel's voice broadcasting out of his bronze bust over in the corner by the south wall. Some dessert! Before, it was just a supposition that one of Lioners valuable treasures might be lying around — something Jack could hope for to pay off the debts, But now, it's open season for the whole crowd. These kind of fun 'n' games aren't to my liking. And there's still the question of whether Tammar is just paranoid, or if someone or SOMETHING is really after her. 10.00 P.M.: April 26th: Everyone is being ever so polite and correct about this whole affair. So much so that my supicions are throbbing at me like a migraine headache. I just found a secret door in my room (Tammar says Queen Victoria once spent the night here, if so, she didn't leave any souvenirs). Anyway, this would certainly explain some of the mysterious comings and goings that the servents have been talking about. Nothing supernatural about this hidden passageway just plain dark. Smells awful musty, and it doesn't look like anyone bothers to dust. Oh well. take a time to earn my keep and look. More later The diary ends here — the rest of the pages have been torn out Such is the burden of being an accomplished young sleuth. You've no recourse but to go and help your friend. Along the way, you'll have to participate in a deadly serious treasure hunt, find out what's going on with all this ghost business, and deal with the cream(?) of British society. What's more, there might just yet be a dead body before this is all over. YOURS! Interactive text adventures may come and go. but infocom is forever. With this in mind, enter Moonmist and the world of polite society, Lords and Ladies, genteel manners, and hidden wickedness. Moonmist is an introductory-level mystery, appealing to both the younger player as well as those who have never tried a text adventure game. Author Stu Talley's philosophy is to try and get people involved, by making the program work for them and with them. - says. O "is by having things happen FOR the player. like a n door open that is closed but not e locked — it's not necessary to make w the player do every single a action... Galley continues: "There's y no reason not to help the player t during his adventure. Why o not help him off the bed if he d forgot he was sitting down?" o Galley believes that he. and the program. have an obligation t to be helpful. This is elaborated h further by a command i which lets the player s , " h e REVIEWS instantly go to any location by just typing in its name. A Gothic mystery also has rules that must be obeyed. One of them is to imply violence, without going for the jugular by dragging in toographic reality. Jim Lawrence, Galley's collaborator on Moomist. has written many of the Hardy Bar and Nancy Drew Mysteries. Lawrence is a master at creating tense situations without resorting to the tired cliches of blood, gore and axe wielding madmen. Moonmist allows you to play as either boy or girl. A butler will ask you for your name upon arrival to the castle Lord or Lady? From then on. the program recognises your gender. A unisex form of address is also supplied for those uncertain. The fun of Gothic novels is not so much in the events themselves, as in the descriptions of surroundings and atmosphere. The hint of fog upon the moors, the half heard wail of a distant ship off the coast. Playability has been greatly increased as there are actually four complete and separate versions of the game to explore. Each one is different. shuffling the clues, hiding a treasure in a different location, forcing you to reevaluate the characters and motive of the other people. The program comes equipped with that tourist brochure mentioned above, as well as a map of the castle. Besides a booklet on the Legendary Ghosts of Cornwall. there's also a neat iron-on patch. Some prefer no more excitement than that of a well lit and well locked room. But for those bold enough to venture out amidst the bog and craggy rocks. great adventure awaits.
Crime is a disease. He's the cure. • N STALLONE I COBRA C l93öWcyne; BiOS, Inc Al fight hi SPECTRUM E7.95 COMMODORE 64 E8.95 AMSTRAD .14 6 Central Street. Manctorstef W SNS Tel 061 834 3939.TeIlex 669911
