The Galleon

Overview

A very complex graphic/text adventure game, developed for the main Commodore platform (C64/128) in style and manner reminiscent of the Level 9 and Melbourne House adventures (sometimes even referred to as the “Hungarian Magnetic Scrolls” today). It contains an intelligent parser (applying a vocabulary of about 1400 words and inflexion for the twisted Hungarian grammar as well as the English translation of them), more than 250 rooms (with detailed descriptions and a few dozens of pictures), nearly 100 living creatures and nearly 140 moveable objects. Moreover, it is a unique multi-protagonist one: you need to play it with two player characters at the same time (a young magician and a barbarian who are brothers on an island) constantly switching over between them and working together as a team. It has even got some minor MUD-like and RPG elements (like spell power or trading treasure, dark labyrinths and random events etc.).
