1789

Overview

A French language only graphic text adventure based on the French Revolution coded by Vincent Balvet and Yves Laurisse and published by Ludia in 1986. A little jewel that comes to us from France and that has nothing to envy of the most illustrious and ancient Americans or English. You are in 1789, in fact, and at the beginning of the adventure you are taken to the Bastille in a carriage; the guard with you is sleeping like a log, and by examining the seats (BANQUETTE) you will find a message. Not being able to do anything else, you end up in a cell in the Bastille... but only until the evening of July 13th, when the fortress is attacked and set on fire, and you are freed by citizen Rossignol (who also puts you in head a Phrygian cap, quite dangerous afterwards....).

At this point, you can start wandering around Paris in search of the treasure mentioned in the previous message. In the meantime, enjoy some panoramic views of Paris (Place Louis XV, the Tuileries, Bourbon Palace, the Louvre) and, keep an eye on the constantly updated time in the upper right corner of the screen.
