#Silicon dreams games plus

well, plus ca change - but it's not the same, in my opinion. Even Snowball, originally a true Level 9 text-only classic, has been given the dubious blessing of graphic detail.

However, the pics are there, so no use moaning. Surely the answer is to polish up your adventure programming techniques rather than rely on second-rate graphics to sell a game. There's a grain of truth in this, but Infocom doesn't seem to have much trouble. Level 9 argues that without them its games wouldn't get a look-in in the British market which has been dominated by piccies ever since the Hobbit. However the Pilg's feelings about Level 9 graphics are well known - I really don't think they're terribly good. The three games tally well over the 600 mark altogether. Is this trilogy really that stupendous? Let's examine the record. Yes sir, this press release, in which Rainbird publicity merchants discuss their latest Level 9 blockbuster, Silicon Dreams, is so fraught with fact, so packed with detail, that it could almost be an adventure in itself. What offers you 'over 600 illustrations, over 13 million locations, a huge 1800-word vocabulary, ultra-fast response times, a new language interpreter, multi-command sentences, type-ahead and multitasking'?Īnswer: The latest press release from Rainbird Software.
