Yepyepyepyepyepyepyepyepyep! The third in the enchanter triligy is SPELLBREAKER. I know that it is available for the Apple computer. There is an advertisement in Nibble for it. I can't wait to get it! kamath@reed.UUCP -- ________________________________________________________________________________ UUCP {ihnp4,decvax,ucbcad}!tektronix!reed!kamath And I looked again And the monster was me...

I know that it is Here are some summarizations from my latest copy of "The New Zork Times" (which they send you if you send in any Infocom warranty card): You are the leader of the Circle of Enchanters. You head a conclave wherein guildmasters from throughout the land tell of the diminishing of the force of magic. Suddenly, every guildmaster (excluding yourself) turns into an amphibian! Did I say everybody? That's not quite right-- there's the shadowy figure that's slipping out the door... Spellbreaker reportedly conatins more characters, each with a distinct personality; and technical innovations, such as the ability to add words to the game's vocabulary. It's an expert-level game, but is supposedly very non-linear, so you can have fun exploring and diddling with things without being forced to actually *solve* any of the puzzles. The packaging includes a copy of the Frobozz Magic Equipment Catalog (Special Crisis Edition), a mystical Enchanter's Guild pin, and a set of Enchanter trading cards. It sounds good to me, but it'll be a while before I buy it-- I've just started Sorceror (hit the bunny, solved the identical scroll problem, got frustrated by the glass maze, tortured myself, have *never* meefed, etc). By the way, the Infotater in my game is "merely" a book. Did earlier editions include a rotating wheel form? - Joel ({allegra,ihnp4,seismo}!uwvax!uwmacc!oyster)
