Systems Twilight

System's Twilight: An Abstract Fairy Tale Version 1.1.0 (freeware) http://www.eblong.com/zarf/twilight.html This game is a story and a puzzle. The story is made up of several parts, not all of which may be obvious. The puzzle is made up of many puzzles, some of which aren't obvious at all. That's all I'll tell you. The rest you get to figure out yourself. Have fun. Puzzle-game enthusiasts will notice that this game is in the style of Cliff Johnson's classic puzzle games, "3 in Three" and "The Fool's Errand". However, be assured that the story and all the puzzles are original. In fact, as far as I know, all twelve *kinds* of puzzles are original. The interface is a step forward as well, allowing full control over your character's movement and the ability to pick up and carry objects. It is compatible with System 6.0.7 or System 7 or later, any Macintosh or Power Mac, and can be played on monochrome, 16-color, or 256-color displays. It requires only 1 meg of free memory. Complete help about the interface is available under the Help/Balloon menu (or, under System 6, the Apple menu.) I do not give out hints on the puzzles, because I hate to spoil other people's fun. If you want help, you may have some luck asking on the Usenet group comp.sys.mac.games.adventure, or on other on-line games forums. System's Twilight is freeware. (Previous versions were shareware, but as of January 2000, you can play the entire game for free. This version of the game no longer asks for registration codes.)
