Backpacker's Guide to the Universe
----------------------------------
by Fantasy

Fantasy's hero Ziggy must explore 256 locations of a
strange planet searching for creatures to help him save
the universe. Trying to work out how to get the creatures
back to his space capsule presents him with serious problems
because bringing most of them into contact with each other
will have disastrous consequences.
The game uses two different programs, one of the actual game,
the other 'the Backpackers Guide' - galactic ensyclopedia
offering valuable hints about the behaviour of each creature.
The demo program will show you some pages of the guide.

Danger Mouse in the Black Forest Chateau
----------------------------------------
by Creative Sparks

This is the follow-up to Danger Mouse in Double Trouble.
It is a menu-driven adventure so you don't have to type in
instructions. The program allows you to play some 20
different locations, each with its own illustration.
In each location, the situation facing Danger Mouse is
described and several choices are flashed onto the screen.
You select one of the choices and the program will respond
accordingly.
