Magnetic
This is a port of Magnetic v2.2 by Niclas Karlsson.
Magnetic is an interpreter for the games written between 1985 and 1991 by Magnetic Scrolls, a text adventure producer based in London, England. Although they only produced seven games they have acquired legendary status for text adventures of as good quality as Infocom accompanied by exceptional graphics.
It is illegal to play Magnetic Scrolls games if you do not own the original packages. Their games, sadly enough, have been unavailable for years, and your only choice may be downloading them from the Internet. Having said this, you should get hold of the following:
- the story files;
- the graphics files (optional);
- the hint files (optional);
- documentation from the original packages;
- the Magnetic interpreter.
