A valuable museum treasure has been stolen; can you recover it? Calixto Island
is a challenging puzzle with and occasional twist of humor. You'll visit a
laboratory, a Mayan pyramid and you'll meet crazy Trader Jack - all in living
color and exciting detail. This is similar to early Polarware and Scott Adams
titles. While these company's games were reasonably successful on Tandy's CoCo
computer, the IBM PC versions did not achieve the same level of success. While
the graphics are quite good at the time, the parser is quite primitive. The
games make up for this with well-written plot, fun characters, and some
clever puzzles. Bob Withers, co-creator of these games now offers them free
and their source codes as well. |
