From the Author:
Hi everybody
C64 fanboy, this announcement is for you !
Let me introduce myself : my name is Erik SAFAR and I have been working for 20 years in video games industry. (Programmer on Oric, Atari and PC. Mainly at Legend Software and Cryo Interactive)
I write this message to announce you that a new adventure game (old fashioned) is available for the C64. (The VIC20 version will be available too soon, a 32K extension will be required).
Its name : Athanor - The Awakening
Athanor is a trilogy, which makes Athanor - The Awakening the first opus.
This opus was made in honour of the first-generation's adventure games with vector graphics. (such as "The Hobbit").
I made the Oric and Amstrad versions and my friend Eric (aka Majikeyric) made the C64 conversion !
It's similar to the Oric and Amstrad versions.
- Vector graphics (approx. 50 views)
- Syntax analysis (approx. 200 words)
- Packaging in folio cardboard 22cm x 22cm (8.66 inches x 8.66)
- Material clues (such as Cobra Soft Adventure Games)
- 5.25 inch disk
Take a little peek at the game's content with a couple of photos above !
You can order a copy at :eric(at)safargames.fr
The boxed version price is 20€ (shipping included to Europe, 25€ worldwide) It comes with a digital version if asked ! But it is only sold as a complete boxed version.
or simply discuss about the project here ! (Eric and I will be happy to give you information.)
All the best
Erik

, but sadly no response (yet). I REALLY love this kind of product: a great old-school text and graphics adventure, with static screens much in the Melbourne House tradition, and a lot of extra stuff - Infocom style
