Unnkulian Unventure 1 is now available from sumex-aim. (info-mac/game, naturally.) It's a classic Adventure/Zork flavor adventure -- text only, with lots of prose and a fairly smart input parser. You, an untrained former slave with no clue whatsoever, must save the world from the dread Demons of Unnkul. With any luck, it will be part 1 in a trilogy. If you've ever wanted to write your own adventure game, check it out: it was written using TADS (also on sumex: info-mac/tech). While TADS doesn't make it completely trivial to write adventures, it does make it a LOT easier. It lets you concentrate almost completely on the adventure instead of grubby programming details. Send any comments, suggestions, requests for help, rude remarks, &c to me, please. I'm not the author, but I know him, and he doesn't have an account anywhere. (I am the author of part 3, though. If you get any neato ideas, I'd like to hear them.) Chris Nebel nebel@wam.umd.edu

Unnkulian Unventure 1 is availible for anonymous ftp from sumex-aim.stanford.edu (~/info-mac/game). If you have the game now, please do _not_ send it to any other sites yet! I made a serious goof, and did not include the read-me file that has all the registration info! I'll be posting a revised version to sumex-aim today, so please wait for that one to spread it around. In the meantime, if you want to register, send a letter to: David Leary 6004 Springhill Drive #302 Greenbelt, MD 20770 The requested fee is $10. He'll send you some goodies like a map of the surface and a hint sheet in return. Chris Nebel

I dont know where you can find an FTP site, but I do know that NumberTech Research has a new game out. Its called StarGun!2.1 and if you send them $5 they will send you a disk with the game on it... write to NumberTech Research, PO Box 86, Newbury VT 05051 Its designed for simpler macs but ought to run on anything. The game is a space shoot-em-up type. B&W, 512K minimum.
