This is a role-playing adventure featuring over 2000 locations and Venturescope - a programming technique that combines real-time action, full text interpreter, multiple command input, dozens of independent characters and 8000 different views.

You control Morval the Warrior, Eliador the Elf and Greymarel the Wizard in a search for the magis of Belorn to learn the secrets of Saromunder, or the recovery of the stolen treasures of Belorn, or the defeat of the Orcs and other foul denizens of the Northern Wastes, or the destruction of the fearsome Kordomir the Dark - or merely explore the countryside and meet its 40 inhabitants. As you travel you'll meet allies - some not as friendly as they seem. Events will continue to happen whether you do anything or not - so the forces of Kordomir will join together to destroy your allies.

Screen top shows a panoramic view at that location neatly framed and with a sword at either end, with below a description of the scene complete with characters present in redefined characters, while at screen bottom is printed your instructions.

At any time you can change from character to character, none of which can die though they may become so weak as to be almost helpless. Keying 'E' will cause you to look East only, you must key 'M,E' in order to move east. When alongside a building, keying 'I' puts you inside, and 'O' outside.

A well organised game that will appeal to those who are keen on adventures.
