Apple II

Questron

This early adventure followed in the footsteps of Ultima Zero, also called Akalabeth.

The Apple II version featured an animated title screen: moving hero, waving flags, lowering drawbridge, raising grate.

Text moves across the screen, filling it in as you read.

You are filled in on the context: who you are, what's your social status, what is happening in your country.

Now you know how a serf may become a hero.

You set out, unarmed, with the clothes on your back.

You're not strong. But you have the potential to outgrow your background.

Determined to survive, you take your hard earned booty and go to town.

You visit cathedrals too.

The cathedrals are a haven of safety, as well as an excuse to explore the world, a worldwide pilgrimage.

But heroes don't always have to walk the line. Some heroes go back to town.

Eventually you will make your way to the castle, home of the king, the princess and...?

The royal treasury is spread out across the castle...don't touch, or else.

These dungeons don't have much color.

And the residents don't like intruders.

Don't admire the early electronic art too long...

This dungeon is multi-leveled. The triangle supports a rope, leading down into a hole in the floor.
