Supernova

Description:


A text based adventure. Supernova is an adventure set in the future. You begin on a remote mining planet, with little to look forward to except another back- breaking day in the mines.
To play Supernova, type sentences such as: OPEN THE HATCH THEN ENTER THE SHIP, or SHOOT THE CREATURE WITH THE RAY GUN THEN GET EVERYTHING. Supernova recognizes over 1000 words.
Read each room description carefully, examine anything that looks important, and try to explore all possible passages and rooms. Draw a map on a piece of paper as you move through Supernova’s “world.”

Caverns of Kroz

Description:


The Caverns of Kroz is a game of exploration and survival. Your journey will take you through 40 very perilous levels, each riddled with diabolical traps and hideous creatures. Hidden in the deepest cavern lies the priceless Amulet–your quest.
The dungeons contain dozens of treasures, spells, traps, and other mysteries. Touching an object for the first time will reveal a little of its identity, but it will be left up to you decide how best to use it or avoid it. When a creature touches you it will vanish, taking a few of your gems that you have collected. If you have no gems, the creature will instead take your life! Whips can be used to kill nearby creatures, but they are better used to smash through crumbled walls and forest terrain.
You can save a game in progress in order to resume after an interruption or have several tries at a tough level without retracing all previous levels. However, only the status as of the beginning of the current level is saved; anything you did after you entered the level won’t be saved. You’ve got to make it to the end of the level and save again for your later gains to be preserved.
