Dear comp.sys.mac.games, Recently a friend has given me a copy of ARTHUR by Infocom. Unfortunatly, I do not have the documentation that comes with the game. I am at a point where I need the Poem which Lot recites a line from to enter the castle. If anyone has this poem I would appreciate it grately if you could post it to me. Thanks in advance, Josh Kreithen

And is also a very touchy subject around here. Do not involve us in your copyright violations. If you want the poem, BUY THE PRODUCT! -- Ted Woodward (ted@cs.utexas.edu) Greetings, Royal Ugly Dudes!

Haven't heard anything, but I would buy it if there were such a thing. Does ICOM no longer contract with Mindscape? Mindscape's loss if that is so. Sanjiv Sarwate EPOR (this reference will only be understood by people who play Shadowgate)

Related to the Arthurian legend is also: "Grailquest" [ArtWorx]. I have never seen any of these, though I may buy them one of these days (but some comments from players would be nice - anybody there? anybody?). I would be very interested also in any other references about such games (related to Arthur and the like), preferably for Mac or AppleII, but any computers are ok too.

Fax: 298-55-1729 I played Arthur about a year ago (when it was released). As for appearance-- it has sharp graphics as well as an on-screen map and "smart" hints (it won't let you see information on puzzles you have yet to encounter). The parser is Infocom's latest (better make that "last" :-( ) and best; the writing & puzzles are first-rate. As for Arthurian "accuracy"-- Well, they did a decent job; the online notes explain some of their more unusual modifications to the Arthurian legend..like rearranging the geography, and merging the myth of the sword in the stone with that of Excalibur & the Lady of the Lake (in a rather odd way, I might add). Still, it was a good game. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Dan Wright DWRIGHT@SIF Macintosh Systems Manager Internet: dwright@hmcvax.claremont.edu Harvey Mudd College, Claremont, CA Consider it disclaimed! -------------------------------------------------------------------------------
