graphically enhanced version
capable of running on a
1040ST is also available for
E8.99.
This month sees the first
home grown adventure from
Stormbringer Software: Menagerie.
Written for the 48k
Spectrum using PAW, it casts
you as a vampire, and the
game opens just after a successful
encounter
with
a viCtirn•
In flight from the police. -
stumble into a bunch of you
aliens, and pass out as they
point a hand-held device at
you.
You wake up to find yourself
a rare species in an alien
menagerie. As alien blood is
not compatible with your metabolism,
your only hope is to
find the lost Bloodstone of
Baal, and squeeze it.
This is a humorous adventure,
with a few graphics and
some refreshingly amusing
replies to the player.
"Examine handbag", for
example, elicits the reply "A
quite spacious handbag that
formerly belonged to a
middle aged woman with
blood group 0 Rhesus Negative."
And after removing
your clothes to provide
enough objects to plot a
maze, every response contains
the phrase "I spy with
"T L (.0-

I can do nothing but
warmly recommend this
slightly irreverent adventure.

from Ian Brown, 1
Amanda Road, Glen Parva,
Leicester LE2 91-1W, to whom
cheques should be made
payable.
