Version
1.1
Get ready for unlimited adventures. Prepare for tales of sword and
sorcery in a world at war. On one side, the mighty empire that controls
all known lands. On the other, determined rebels hiding in caverns far
underground. Pick up a blade, take on cunning foes, and, when victory
is yours, go online and download more free adventures. Or use the
powerful Blades of Avernum Editor to make quests of your own!
Spiderweb Software announces the release of Blades of Avernum, their
new fantasy role-playing system for the Macintosh. Blades of Avernum
comes with several large, exciting adventures:
In A Small Rebellion, you are sent to infiltrate and destroy a band of
rebels against the Empire. The question: will you fight them, or join
them? In The Valley of Dying Things, you delve deep into an enormous,
abandoned school of magic, looking for the secret to a deadly plague.
In The Za-Khazi Run, you rocket down a subterranean river, racing
against time to reinforce a besieged fort. First, though, you must
outwit the many powerful, bizarre creatures living along the route. And
in Diplomacy With the Dead, you have to help a remote city deal with
the powerful vampire who lives just outside town. This turns out to be
much more complicated than it sounds.
And, when you have won these adventures, the promise of more free
fun on the net means that your journey need never end. Anyone can
use Blades of Avernum's editor to make fascinating adventures with
cunning characters. Deal with monsters that work together and send
out patrols to hunt you. Fight deadly bosses that summon aid, flee
when they're outmatched, and surprise you with all sorts of nasty
tricks.
Blades of Avernum is $25, or $32 with a hint book. Experience with
other Avernum games is completely unnecessary. System
requirements: Macintosh with System 8.1 or later, 30 MB free RAM, 40
MB hard drive space, 800x600 screen resolution with 16 bit color.
Runs natively under Macintosh OS X.
