This is #4 in the Other-Ventures marketed by Adventure
International as a series of games by authors other than Scott Adams.
This is one of the earliest historical adventure games, and it was unique
at a time when fantasy and treasure-hunt games were everywhere. Although
it's basically a do-or-die survival game, the setting and historical
details on the package claim to be well-researched. On April 19, 1906
at 5:18 a.m., one of the most violent earthquakes of modern times decimated
metropolitan San Francisco. The game puts you into a topsy-turvy scenario:
The city's remains are awash with flame; buildings burn and crumble,
and death's dark sentry stands watch over all. It is through this madness
that you must plunge. Your chances of survival are directly realted
to your ability to reason logically. Hopefull, you will escape from
fallen San Francisco with your life. |
