Gameplay

Plot

The player's mission is to find the fountain of youth.

Development

The development process was both handmade and homemade - tapes were not manufactured until they had received enough orders to justify them ordering copies of the print covers and making duplicates of the cassette tapes. Originally they received a few tens of mail orders, but this later ballooned into several hundreds.[2]

Reception

El Mundo Del Spectrum wrote that despite its simplicity, the game "overflowed with magic and charm".[3] IGN recommended that players take out a paper and pencil to draw a map and avoid getting lost in the game's world.[4]

Legacy

The game was featured as part of FX Museum's official launch celebrating 30 years of their company's video games[5] - by this point, Dinamic Software had evolved into FX Interactive.[6]

gollark: Possibly not what you want, being a shell tool and all.
gollark: > GNU parallel is a shell tool for executing jobs in parallel using one or more computers. A job can be a single command or a small script that has to be run for each of the lines in the input. The typical input is a list of files, a list of hosts, a list of users, a list of URLs, or a list of tables. A job can also be a command that reads from a pipe. GNU parallel can then split the input and pipe it into commands in parallel.
gollark: GNU parallel?
