Quicksilver Fantasies Solo Gaming Adventures

A fan has made unauthorized adaptations of Quicksilver gamebooks, all of a Dungeons & Dragons-ish medieval fantasy bent, published between 1981 through '83, converting them into a Windows-executable dB2K database to automatically handle hypertext transitions between paragraphs and automate periodic stats and inventory management as well as randomization as might have been initially called for with die rolls.

The program includes all four entries from Quicksilver's small-scale Mini-series gamebooks, each containing three distinct but related adventures for different player classes: Carnival in Windemere*;

• Crystal's Pleasure Palace;
• The Freak Show;
• and Tails of the Expected

as well as the first two of the four larger-scale, single-class Maxi-Solo adventures: Message from Heartbreak Mountain*

• and Journey from Rigour.
