- I actually got this off an Amiga Format cover C.D (AFCD36), but it is also
- available on the Aminet, but its hardly recent. Oh well.
-
- This is set to be the next Monkey Island on the Amiga. It stars Gilbert who
- has to find a magic mushroom, which his grandfather had to protect, but it
- has gone missing, just before the big mushroom party, of which it is
- needed. Gilbert`s grandfather has been thrown into prison and is going to
- be executed, unless Gilbert can help him, by finding the magic mushroom and
- the theif.
-
- This is a very early demo, and only features two rooms, which is
- surprising, if you take into the account the size of the archive. The game
- is set to be developed on P.C and Amiga, and will be on C.D, which is good,
- because you would need about 20 disks for 40 locations, at the rate the
- authors are working at the moment.
-
- When you load the game, you`ll get a long conversation with two villagers,
- after that you can move around and go into Elton`s laboratory. There isn`t
- much else you can do in the demo.
-
- The graphics are brilliant, and if the rest of the game is going to be the
- same, then this is going to be a big hit with Monkey Island vetrons.
