Release of "John's Fire Witch"


30 Jan 1995 07:03:35 GMT

I have just released "John's Fire Witch", a snack-sized text adventure
written in TADS. By snack-sized, I mean that a walk-through would be
around 200 moves long (but I would be *highly* surprised if someone
immediately solved it in that many moves). The difficulty level is
beginner to intermediary.

I believe that the game is going to be included with the disk that comes
with the second issue of XYZZY News. It is also currently sitting in
the /incoming/if-archive directory of ftp.gmd.de (until Volker moves it
to whatever permanent space it shall reside in). I had one unsuccessful
upload attempt, so if you try to download it immediately, firwitch.zip
is the *bad* file, firwitch.v10.zip is the *good* file.

I would be *very* pleased if someone would take the time to review it
for both SPAG and XYZZY News.

It's non-crippled shareware with a registration fee of six bucks, but
quite honestly I don't care if you register it or not. I just want to
see how many people actually do. :)

Hope everyone has fun.
