ACCOLADE'S COMICS: "Holy competitive
edge, Batman! Now, there are
interactive comics!" Three disks contain
150 animated frames, 220 still
frames, and eight different arcade sequences,
all you need to solve two different
mysteries as Steve Keene -
Thrillseeker!. In addition to toggling
dialogue balloons in order to communicate
with witnesses and suspects,
your cross between Dick Tracy and
Mr. Keene (Seeker of Lost Persons)
must overcome subterranean rivers
with snapping turtles and electric eels;
maneuver through conveyor belts suspiciously
reminiscent of earlier arcade
ventures; and wind his way through a
scaffold of rails that would make Indiana
Jones break out in a cold sweat.

captured asteroid which contains

play in this Avantage product, as well
as enough missiles, light phasors and
force fields to keep arcade-type spacejockeys
happy for hours. C-64/128

SIGN OF THE WOLF: Although Sign
of the Wolf may look like an interactive
fiction game, it is not. It is, however,
a short story written in the classic
Saberhagen hard-hitting
plenty-of-action style. The difference with this
short story is that this one is one a
computer and contains 32 different
animated pictures.
Set in the familiar fictional background
of the "Berserkers," Saberhagen is attempting
to blend old and new genres
together for his storytelling palette. C-
