I think Magnetic Scrolls adventures are great
Until now I have not been able to get hold of The Pawn or
Guild,(As Jinxter and Fish I have on the Atari ST),
There are others I think were conected to MS or Rainbird
- and they are Silicon Dreams(Worm in Paradise I had that
and lost it,Return to eden and snowball) anywhere I can
get these titles from....

were published on. I also used to man the phones and help
people out with all their Mag Scrolls questions. It's nice
to see sites like this keeping these games alive!

Good Site! I first started playing Magnetic Scrolls games
back in 1988 with 'The Pawn' on the c64 and progressed to

I still boot up my Amiga emulator and play them occasionally...

BTW, what are the guys (and gal) doing now? Are there any

Super of you to make these games available. Though I played
Infocom in the '80's, I never heard of these. (However,
my college aged daughter, home for Christmas, walked by
the computer screen last nite and said -- "Hey, I remember
that game! You're a fish, right? We played it in our TAG
class in 4th grade!")
Anyway, as a former librarian, I'm wondering whether there
might be some way to make stuff like these games LEGALLY
available on a loan basis, just like with library books?
E.g., a user could "borrow" the file in order to play the
game, just as with the millions of out of print books in
a library, and then delete it when done? Maybe even the
copyright holders might agree to this, if they could be
found. Otherwise, due to the nature of ever changing technology,
these games will die a sure death, especially since used
copies of them appear to be very rare. From what little
I've seen of these games, they should be preserved and enjoyed
by reader/players, not just in non-usable archives!
