I would like to recommend Infocom's "Wishbringer" interactive fiction to those of you who like computer adventure games. This is an all-text, not very difficult adventure that is meant as an introduction to this type of game (the stock number makes Wishbringer part 0 of Zork). This is the best STORY that Infocom has yet published. You play the part of a postal clerk whose initial errand leads into an bewitched world. There is a magic stone that grants (non-renewable) wishes, but it is possible to win the game without using any wishes. You get to interact with a variety of characters, beasts, and enchanted objects. P.S. It took me two evenings to win the game, but I only got something like 89 out of 100 possible points. Anyone have any hints concerning where the hard-to-find points are? My hint booklet hasn't arrived yet.

Ever got more than 100 points in WISHBRINGER ??? It's simple: **** SPOILER **** repeat buy ticket get coin until score > infinity However, I didn't manage to get more than 38 points without this cheating. I have started yesterday, so that does not say too much... Hans-Martin Mosner <hmm@unido.uucp> University of Dortmund Germany
