Inca
This text adventure transports the player deep into the South American
jungles, in the footsteps of renowned archaeologist Dr. Paul Jamison – a
friend who had disappeared under unknown circumstances on his quest to unearth
the ancient secrets of the Inca Empire. Spurred on by a mysterious note from
Jamison, and by the sole item he had left you (a golden brooch), you set sail
to Peru in search of the lost city of Tumbrez and its fabled treasures. You
soon find yourself beset by a pair of crooks who are on a treasure-hunt of
their own.
Powered by the Story Teller engine also used in The Holy Grail, Inca
interprets simple textual commands and provides the player with multiple save
slots. A real-time element is also present: certain events are timed, and
swift reaction will often be required to avoid unpleasant situations (such as
being seized by the antagonsistic duo, or a variety of nasty deaths).
