Six Stories

Author:Neil K. Guy
Genre:Fantasy
Released:1999
Review:

Not the first HTML-TADS game, but possibly the first to use the graphics and sound options available in HTML-TADS to add significantly to a game experience. The game itself is quite simple--you get stuck in a snowstorm, you go exploring, and you meet some strange characters--and the one puzzle isn't all that novel, but the graphics and sound are elaborate and enhance the mood considerably. The game is quite short, unfortunately, but as a multimedia experience, it's very polished.

Rating: ****
