Magnetic Scrolls Collection Vol. 1

Three Magnetic Scrolls´ hits in one package -
now enhanced to run under WONDERLAND´s Magnetic Windows environment.

Fish! - The Seven Deadly Fins, an inter-dimensional group of anarchists, are on the loose. THE PROJECT has been sabotaged...can you, a mere goldfish, save the day? FISH is full of what you least expected, lacking in all that´s rational and devoid of all good sense.

Corruption - Outwardly you´re on the fast track to success in the City. But what corruption lurks menacingly just beneath the glittering facade? CORRUPTON is a racy thriller where the only person you can trust is yourself.

The Guild of Thieves - How sneaky can you get? The answer is ´VERY´ to stand an earthly of qualifiying for entry into the famed Guild of Thieves. In THE GUILD OF THIEVES, treasure abounds but can you find and steal it all?

Background information

Partly the games have advanced features. The windowed version of Fish! e.g. now has a FIND <OBJECT> command and the GOTO <LOCATION> command, which were not available in the old versions due to the 64k limit.

The Collection was later also released on a CD-Rom for IBM PC. The game version is identical to the disk version. The CD comes with an additional Virgin installation tool and demos of other Virgin titles. The CD was packaged in a normal jewel case: Booklet outside, Booklet inside, Jewel case back side
