In the mid 80's a small British team of programmers called Magnetic Scrolls prepared to become the European answer to Infocom. After releasing only seven games Magnetic Scrolls perished in the fast growing multimedia age. Nevertheless their thrilling stories, a trailblazing parser and excellent graphics made them a milestone in adventure game history. May these pages help in having fond memories of these jewels:

Since Magnetic Scrolls died in the early 90's,
the games havn't been available for many years. If you still own copies of the
games you should take a look at the various emulators. The games work perfectly
with Fellow,
UAE for Amiga,
PaCifiST for Atari ST, and
Frodo for C64.
Niclas Karlsson has developed a portable interpreter - MAGNETIC. So far there
are ports for Amiga (written by David Kinder), BeOS (written by Tinic Uro), and
DOS (written by Stefan Jokisch) available. Examine this excellent piece of work
