Emulation
Guides on emulating older games

You're no hero, so when your friend Jake asks you to join him in exploring a ruined castle several days' journey to the north, you refuse to have anything to do with the idea. Well, that was weeks ago, and you haven't heard from Jake. Much against your better judgement, you decide to go find out what became of him...and maybe pick up some treasure along the way.

This game should run on any Mac or compatible with a 12" or bigger monitor, 256 (or more) colors/greys and Color QuickDraw. If you’ve got anything newer than an SE/30, you should be fine. This is version 1.4.

This and the rest of Louise Hope's graphical text adventures can be found here. Some have WorldBuilder-based predecessors that will play in Mini vMac, and some have been ported to OS X. She's still accepting shareware fees, too. The games are wildly creative and clever, and it's a shame they didn't get distributed until the late 90s - otherwise she'd be up there with Ray Dunakin in the WorldBuilder hall o' fame.

This looks like a pretty neat game. Thanks for uploading!
