Another Fine Mess is an adventure game for Mac OS. The tangled worlds of
Ray's Maze await you. Seek your fortune or die trying! Visit eerie moors,
a desolate battlefield, and an ancient castle. Battle bureaucrats, sand
pirates, and other horrific monsters. Challenging puzzles and fantastic
treasures abound. Another Fine Mess is multi-layered, with plots and
sub-plots, and puzzles inside of puzzles. But it is also non-linear--that
is, you don't have to finish one area before moving on to the next. Like
real life, you can move freely, discovering as you go. The initial plot
is simple: You are searching for treasure. But as you move through the
worlds of the Maze, you will become involved in a number of more complex
storylines.
This is the second game in the Ray's Maze series. The game features
excellent graphics with multiple story lines. The game was created with
the World Builder adventure game creation system.
The author asks a $10 shareware fee. For more information, e-mail
RayDunakin@aol.com.
The game runs on all Macs, but sound doesn't work on XL, AV, or PPC
models. It may be necessary to increase the Preferred Memory Size on
newer Macs if the game freezes when opened. To increase memory, just
single click on the Another Fine Mess icon, then select Get Info from the
File menu. Version 1.8 fixes several minor bugs, adds some new hints, and
is slightly less deadly.

Subject: A Mess O' Trouble 1.8
"...if a detailed, nonlinear plot, plenty of puzzles to solve and strange
worlds to explore are what counts with you, you're in luck, because
Trouble provides that -- at a rock bottom price. Everything from the
graphics to the gameplay to the written descriptions of the rooms is of
professional quality."
-- Mac Home Journal, October 1994
A Mess O'Trouble is a multi-layered, richly-textured graphic adventure
game that will keep you entertained for days or even weeks. (And you
don't have to know anything about the first game to play this one.)
A Mess O'Trouble keeps violence to a minimum, without being boring,
insipid or "politically correct". Even when defeating the most
villianous creatures you will use your brain more than your gun.
A Mess O'Trouble takes place in the twisted worlds of Ray's Maze, a
multi-dimensional spacial anomaly. Explore old mines and search for lost
gold in an authentic Nevada ghost town. Learn the secrets of Techtron
artifacts in the Void. Escape from the mysterious Isle of Lucy. Battle
bureaucratic bungling in Monolith City, and discover the weirdness and
wonders of the Enchanted Forest.
The result of over 1000 hours of work, this game includes 137 sounds, 300
scenes, dozens of characters, more than 1400 objects, and some of the
best black & white graphics you've ever seen. All this AND plenty of wit
and humor too!
A Mess O' Trouble should run on any Mac OS computer running System 3 or
higher. Sounds may not work on the Macintosh XL or any AV or PowerPC Mac.
Version 1.8 fixes a major bug that prevented the game from being
completed when playing as Dawn.
The author is Ray Dunakin (raydunakin@aol.com), and he asks for a $10
shareware fee if you like and keep the game.

Subject: Mister Monster Maker 1.0
The attached file contains Mister Monster Maker 1.0, a companion
application to Sword Dream, the role playing game for Macintosh.
Sword Dream is a modular, never-ending game: the application itself is just
an engine which allows the player to enjoy the actual adventure (also known
as a "scenario"). There are currently five different scenarios available,
and at least four more are under development.
In the past, Scenario developers had to use ResEdit to create their worlds.
Mister Monster Maker can be used instead of ResEdit: its helpful templates,
inspired by the Assistants in ClarisWorks, allow the designer to create
freely, and quickly: monsters and treasures, spells and encounters and more
- over a dozen entities.
This new utility is part of an on-going effort to relase a completely new
version of the game - Sword Dream 3D, which will hopefully be finished
before Christmas.

allows players to talk with one another using a mud-like interface, ready
weapons, set an armor class, have hit points, store online character sheets,
calculate and run combats using initiative rolls, resolve attacks and distribute
damage between players and monsters, store and retrieve ASCII maps to facilitate
showing exactly where the action is occuring, roll dice either in the open or
privately shown to only the player and DM, and allows the DM to fudge attack
rolls when a plot line necessitates a critical hit or miss or whatever. All of
these features (and more!) combine in NetRPG to make live internet role-playing
not only possible, but very enjoyable!

This version should run on all Macs from the 512 (pre-Plus) on up. It

From: fmenneteau@mipsys.com
Subject: RPGMapMaker 3.5
RPGMapMaker is a a tool for drawing maps with polygonal grids.
This kind of maps are used in Role Playing Games, but can be designed for
any other purposes.
In addition to having most of the capabilities of a real painting program
(such as lines, rectangles, ovals and round rectangles, drawing and filling
with color and pattern, text, rubber, pipettes tools, etc.), RPGMapMaker has
also unique features that greatly simplify map-building, such as:
* Various kinds of grids. You can create a grid map made of hexes
(well-suited for world, region or village maps), or with squares
(well-suited for dungeon maps) or with lozenges (well-suited for pseudo-3D
castle and dungeon maps).
* Seven layers static map. Includes one layer for the grid, three
pre-allocated layers (one for color and drawing, one for terrain tiles and
one for text and lines). Also three extra layers (also one for drawing, one
for terrain tiles and one for text and lines) can be allocated on demand.
For example, you can change a polygon color without losing the terrain that
lies on top of it, build a map for the DM eyes only and a map for his
players, etc. * Interactive maps. Static maps can be linked between each others as in a
hyper-text document. This allows you to design a continent, then zoom-in to
a country, then zoom-in to a city, then zoom-in to a house, then zoom-in to
the cellar of the house, then zoom-in to the dungeon beneath the house,
etc... Of course, you can also zoom-out.
* Layers manager. This feature allows you to allocate and free the three
extra layers, to choose which layer is visible and which layer is not, and
select which layer is the active one (an active layer is a layer where
drawing occurs). * Various dimension units. You can specify the map dimensions in either cm
or m or km. Alternatively, you may prefer to use the ft, ya or mi dimension
units. * Grid polygon color filling in just two clicks (three if using patterns).
Allows you to use one to select the color and one to select the filling
area. * Predefined terrains tiles. RPGMapMaker comes with several predefined
libraries for building regions, villages, castles and dungeons. They are
available in either black and white or in colors.
* Terrains editor. If you do not like the terrain tiles and wish to modify
them, use the terrain editor. Of course, if you are talented, you can also
create new terrain tiles from thin air!
* Terrain Organizer. This tool allows you to quickly reorganize a terrain
library and transfer tiles between libraries.
* Random terrain generator. This tool allows you to generate random terrains
made of up to four differents "regions" (for example water, mountain, plain,
etc.). * Random maze generator. This tool allows you to generate random mazes,
caverns and dungeons. For dungeons, rooms number can be generated.

The attached file contains Heroes of the Black Tower - a game scenario for

This is version 1.0.1 of the game scenario. It fixes a small bug, recently
discovered by a player, where the game would stop and complain about a
missing resource. No new game elements were added for this release.
Sword Dream 3D is a fantasy adventure gaming system. Old role playing games
had you play over a boring 2D map. In Sword Dream 3D, your surroundings are
in three-D (just like in Marathon, Doom or Descent). Still, this isn't a
shoot-em-up videogame: it's a think-first, act-later game.
And it's fun for days, not minutes: Dream 3D accepts plug-in adventure
games, or "scenarios". Anybody can create a 3D scenario using the free
tools we are providing, which allow anyone to create new monsters, spell,
objects, buildings, traps, riddles, characters, music and more.

From: (Luca Accomazzi) akko@enter.it
Subject: Sword Dream 1.7.1 for PPC problem and fix
A few PowerPC users recently wrote me about a problem in Sword Dream 1.7.1.
On inspection, I found a bug in the current version of the CodeWarrior
Pascal compiler (the development system we are using for Dream). My code is
safe and sound, but the compiler inserts a bug. (You are interested in the
technicalites? Byte-aligned access to data fails and returns garbage if
made inside a nested function call. OK, so maybe you don't care).
The net results is that now and then Dream will refuse to load an
encounter, say that the scenario file is corrupted, and quit.
This patch works around the bug.
This patch can be applied over any localized version of Sword Dream 1.7.1
(English, French and Italian). It is only useful for PowerPC users. It
should also prevent similar problems - that is, surfacing of the same
compiler bug in other parts of the Dream application - in the future.

System's Twilight: An Abstract Fairy Tale
Version 1.1.0 (freeware)

This game is a story and a puzzle. The story is made up of several
parts, not all of which may be obvious. The puzzle is made up of many
puzzles, some of which aren't obvious at all.
That's all I'll tell you. The rest you get to figure out yourself.
Have fun.
Puzzle-game enthusiasts will notice that this game is in the style of
Cliff Johnson's classic puzzle games, "3 in Three" and "The Fool's
Errand". However, be assured that the story and all the puzzles are
original. In fact, as far as I know, all twelve *kinds* of puzzles are
original. The interface is a step forward as well, allowing full
control over your character's movement and the ability to pick up and
carry objects.
It is compatible with System 6.0.7 or System 7 or later, any Macintosh
or Power Mac, and can be played on monochrome, 16-color, or 256-color
displays. It requires only 1 meg of free memory. Complete help about
the interface is available under the Help/Balloon menu (or, under
System 6, the Apple menu.)
I do not give out hints on the puzzles, because I hate to spoil other
people's fun. If you want help, you may have some luck asking on the
Usenet group comp.sys.mac.games.adventure, or on other on-line games
forums.
System's Twilight is freeware. (Previous versions were shareware,

Version History
~~~~~~~~~~~~
Version 1.0d6 March 1996: Development Release:
* Now supports Ultima III 1.3's new variable size Map format!!!
* If a Window can't do graphics offscreen, it will perform updates on-screen.
This might look a little weird, but it's better than crashing.
* Offscreen Graphic scrap spaces are no-longer stored for each window. They
are now created on demand. This means updating a window might be a little
slower; it also reduces the RAM needed for each window by about 85%.
With 1 meg of RAM, I was able to open all the Map Windows, with over 100k
remaining in available RAM. Nifty!
* Map Windows now zoom when you click the zoom box. (a much requested feature)
* The Window Menu is complete, including window stacking, horizontal and
vertical tiling, and window zooming.
* Controls now deactivate properly when the windows containing them are
made active/inactive.
* Windows have a pleasant grey look to them. Aaron users might like this.
* There is a Progress Dialog when opening/saving Scenario Files.
* More miscellaneous bug-fixes.
* the Ultima III Editor is now Free - it is no longer distributed as shareware.

Subject: Virtual Maze Book
There are great many ways to have a computer organize randomness into a
maze, and some are more interesting than others. In May of 1997 I released
Virtual Maze Book Lite 1.1 which included two very limited methods of
making mazes. This version, 2.0.1, adds a robust method which should give
enough variety to satisfy all but the most rabid maze fans.
Though the program includes a primitive capability to solve the mazes on
the screen, its strength is in producing mazes for printing on paper. This
reason for this emphasis is that the program was developed in the process
of designing two books of mazes which have been published by Dover.
Included with the program are several specialized maze fonts which will
allow one to print at high resolution.
If you enjoy mazes or know someone who does, this is a must download. This
version of the program is free. Instructions on how to upgrade to a more
complex version of the package are given in the readme.

Warcraft II Maps 3.0 - The Battle is just beginning...
About v3.0
Maps created from the original immagination of ...mine!! Great maps for a
Saturday evening, when you have nothing to do. Or, if you have, you prefer
to play Warcraft II.
This file contains 5 maps I create for Warcraft II©, Mac version (is there
something else?). To play them, you need the "Warcraft II" game, created by
Blizzard Entertainment©. System requirements are the ones the game needs.
These maps are freeware, so you can use and abuse them all you want, you
can give them to your friends, put them on any commercially available
CD-ROM, or you can trash them. But, if you like some of them, send me an
email telling me so. I will be glad to receive it.
And I will be glad, too, if you do something good for our Apple or Mac
(evangelize a Wintel user, buy another Mac, pay for the shareware, etc.).
These Maps were checked with Disinfectant 1.7.

Worlds Apart: An Interactive Fugue
By Suzanne Britton (tril@igs.net)
Version 2.1
http://www.igs.net/~tril/worlds/
Getting Started
This is a TADS game, and therefore requires a TADS or HTML TADS
interpreter. Specifically, it requires an up-to-date (2.5.1 or better)
interpreter. This package includes HyperTADS 1.1.3, which is an HTML
TADS interpreter for the Macintosh based on HTML TADS 2.5.1. It should
be everything you need to play the game. If HyperTADS doesn't suit you,
there are other TADS interpreters for the Macintosh. Check the TADS Page
at http://www.tela.bc.ca/tela/tads/ for advice on how to obtain and
install the right interpreter for your system.
If you do not use HyperTADS, you should set your display to use a
fixed-width font if you can. Otherwise, formatting will look odd in a
few places.
If Interactive Fiction is a new thing to you, or you just want to
refresh your memory, you can get some general playing instructions
within the game by typing INSTRUCTIONS. Specific information on Worlds
Apart is available by typing ABOUT, and hints are available via the HINT
command.
This work is copyrighted freeware. The game package may be distributed
on all public archives.
