Crime City

In-game advertisement

The in-game BBS features three adverts for upcoming Impressions games:

Discovery - In the Footsteps of Columbus

In this tribute to the Great Explorer, the gameplay involves exploring, trading, fighting and creating settlements- all on a global scale. With each decision you face many options. Choose well, and you could be the one to discover El Dorado.

This game, more or less a follow-up to Merchant Colony, was released by Impressions in 1992.

Samurai - The Way of the Warrior,

Soon to be released by Impressions, is one of the largest games of its type, due to its innovative computer generated map. Your samurai armies must vanquish all enemies and seize their lands, whilst keeping their homes safe and their people content. A challenge for the most hardened adventurer.

Released by Impressions in 1992 (in the US as Conquest of Japan). The "innovative computer generated map" turned out to be crude randomized battlefields of manageable size.

Coming Soon from Interactive FantasyFiction......

The Hand of St. James

*A game of murder, intrigue and adventure, in which nobody can be trusted in the abbey, a monk is dead and the sacred relic has been stolen. It's up to you to find out who is responsible.

Only on I.F...... Soon.*

Or rather not. This game is shrouded in mystery itself, with no clear indication that it was ever released.
