I only wish the main character sprite wasn't such an obvious paint-over of the Hero's Quest ego.  But hey, it's free, so...cool!

Neat!  But why's it in EGA instead of VGA?

Cause, I suppose, that's the way he wanted to make it!  I love those SCI0 games a lot, myself.

He's using (purposely) Sierra's original EGA SCI interpreter which doesn't support VGA. You will actually need DOSBox to play this (which will be included in the install automatically, I imagine). ScummVM or an old computer would work too. :)

when you only have 16 colours to choose from you have to make every pixel count

I LOVE the challenges of EGA art, for exactly that reason.  Every piece is a puzzle to be solved, to figure out the best way to get the visual effects you want with the limited palette.  I'd totally be down for doing an SCI game.  :)

You can have anything you want if you will give up the belief that you can't have it.

Will the game be typed-prompt?

That worked well in Peasant's Quest but I'm not sure it'd work for new serious games.

It is an SCI0 game.

Yes, it has a parser input.

Anybody played this yet?  How is it?  I'm going to have to throw it on the pile of "to-play-if-I-ever-get-free-time-again."  For now...
