'All hail, great master, grave sir! Hail! Welcome ever smiles, and farewell goes out sighing ...' In this light-hearted but immensely challenging look at The Bard's world through the keyboard of modern man, you find yourself, after watching too many Shakespeare plays (or perhaps reading them) wandering around a strange land. Here they use a richer language than usual, and some of the scenes remind you of certain Shakespeare plays. How you are going to return successfully to the present day is something that you will have to find out for yourself! Why does the adventure take place on three different dates? What is the significance of the lady Portia's caskets? Why does Yorick sometimes say "Golesida" and sometimes something else? Why do you suddenly find yourself wearing an ass's head? These are just some of the tantalising puzzles that you'll meet when you welcome AVON . . . An exhaustive knowledge of the Shakespearean Canon is not necessary as, in most cases, just the problems rather than the solutions are taken from Shakespeare. If you get really stuck, Topologika's much-praised on-line 'Help' system is there to stop the sighing . . . AVON is Jonathan Partington's first release since his best-selling 'KINGDOM of HAMIL' (also available from TOPOLOGIKA). Also from TOPOLOGIKA Kingdom of Hamil Philosopher's Quest Acheton Countdown to Doom Giant Killer Return to Doom PACK INCLUDES: Disc/s with on-line 'help' Technical Guide Coded 'Hints Sheet' Intro Guide and Free BONUS Game! MONSTERS OF MURDAC FREE INSIDE |
