Sometime ago, I like many others on the nets, downloaded a demo version
of Leprechaun. Comments in the newsgroups were very positive, but the
demo asked $79 (if I remember correctly) for the full up version... a bit
steep for a game price. So I played the demo to the end and forgot about it.
Recently, I saw it in MacConnection for $29, so I ordered it. The media,
a SONY labeled disk, turned out to be unreadable. So I called the author
on a Saturday no less, who courteously and immediately mailed out a
replacement that day.
The program itself is challenging. It comes with the scenarios from the
demo, a main game with over 120 scenarios, a game with many scenarios for
kids, plus some additional scenarios, apparently submitted by users. There
is also documentation outlining a contest over finishing the last main level.
But the feature my kids love most is creating their own scenarios to stump
good 'ole Dad!
Leprechaun is not heavily advertised, so I thought it's worth putting in a
plug for it here. Excellent sound and graphics along with good support.
Don't miss it.
Disclaimer: I have no association with Shodan other than as a very
satisfied customer.
