What could be more challenging than playing computer adventure games? Creating them! And with Adventure Master you can do just that.
This two disk program is a creative instrument that becomes an "adventure factory" when fueled by your imagination. It helps you design your own text-adventure games, creating up to as many as 60 "rooms" within each one. Easy to use, it lets you describe places, plan events, create secret exits, name magic words, hide objects and build entire worlds into which fellow adventurers may travel.
Draw upon the dynamic resources of Adventure Master to guide you through the complexities of your creation and then call upon the graphics system built into the program to illustrate your story. Once you complete an adventure, you may return to any location for fine tuning. Then the entire game can be saved to a disk and given to your friends to play. Adventure Master can be used to create as many adventures as you want!
Adventure Master opens up the world of adventure game design and its mapping, problem-solving and strategy skills. With Adventure Master an endless number of imaginative, new worlds are yours for the making!
