thumbnail — This rock bears a secret.

thumbnail — A big swamp.

thumbnail — Captured! What's this? A hand holding an eye?!

thumbnail — Hmmm... which one is it?

thumbnail — Attacked by Garthims. RUN!!

thumbnail — The crucial moment were Jen meets Kira, another Gelfling. Could it be love?

thumbnail — Paddlin' through the swamps.

thumbnail — The Apopiapoipidiappididiapipoh, or Pod People for short, like merry-making.

thumbnail — The Garthims don't like merry-making.

thumbnail — Luckily, the village is only partially destroyed.

thumbnail — Watching TV can be instructive.

thumbnail — These landstriders really look strange.

thumbnail — An impressive face. Or maybe... a door?

thumbnail — Sneaking through a labyrinth.

thumbnail — Oh no! The evil Chamberlain grabs Kira and Fizzgig!

thumbnail — Alone now, confronting a horde of Garthim. I guess they don't want to play ping-pong.

thumbnail — Hope you're not acrophobic.

thumbnail — I've freed Aughra, and what does she do? Scolding me!

thumbnail — Hmm... which door shall we take?

thumbnail — Some feasting skeksis. Eavesdropping may be rewarding.

thumbnail — It's high time! The suns are converging!

thumbnail — One last thing to do here...

thumbnail — The title screen

thumbnail — The game begins here

thumbnail — A mountainside; anything useful here?

thumbnail — Looks like I've found stonehenge...

thumbnail — I'm entering a dimly lit cave...

thumbnail — There's quite a few paths to follow and locations to visit

thumbnail — Listening to see if the brook has anything to say

thumbnail — Lost in a swamp with cystal bats flying overhead...

thumbnail — Stuck in a swamp; could use some help here!

thumbnail — Examining a shell

thumbnail — Floating down river on a shell

thumbnail — One of many mysterious characters in the game

thumbnail — That crystal bat appears all over the place

thumbnail — Uh oh, it's an attack!

thumbnail — Hmm, I wonder where this east-west path will take me...

thumbnail — Ride these tall creatures across all sorts of terrain

thumbnail — Wouldn't be an adventure game without an underground maze to get lost in

thumbnail — Uh oh, footsteps approaching!

thumbnail — Now this is one heck of a predicament...

thumbnail — Strange creatures watch your every move

thumbnail — Oops, a wrong turn; looks like evil won and I lost...

Browser screenshots

thumbnail — Title screen.

thumbnail — See ya, Ursu. Don't forget to wr-- never mind.

thumbnail — It doesn't take long at all for us to meet Augra. She asks a riddle, and we automatically answer correctly.

thumbnail — Some sights and scenery on our way from Ursu's hut.

thumbnail — As with Gelfling Adventure, this game lists available actions multiple-choice style rather than via traditional text parser. Here, we have only one thing we can do -- walk.

thumbnail — Kira! Go ahead, struggle. I'm sure it's safe.

thumbnail — Death comes to us all at some point or another. This is a traditional Sierra adventure, which means there's a death by incorrect decision at every turn.

thumbnail — Let's ride

thumbnail — Cute couple
