Oo-Topos

DOS - 1986
Also available on: Amiga - Apple II - Atari ST - Commodore 64

IMHO the best Polarware game ever and definitely Mike Berlyn's masterpiece, this is a great sci-fi story that opens with you, as a human explorer, captured in the alien land of the Oo-Topos. You must escape the aliens and find your ship.

Features a pulse-quickening action and many clever gadget-oriented puzzles despite the limiting verb-noun engine. Recommended for anyone interested in a well-written sci-fi adventure.

To get the DOS version to work, run CRACK.COM once from within DOSBox. After this, the game can be played by running NOVEL.EXE.

To get Amiga version to work, you have to emulate Amiga 500 with 512K of chip ram and no other expansion memory. Chipset must be set to OCS, and you can use the Kickstart 1.3 rom.
