- ADAM - V1.2 - Written using Virtual Reality Studio by Incentive Software
-
- Adam was designed as a Virtual Reality game for my nephew. His dad bought a
- computer in 1992, and as you know computers tend to soak up funds quite quickly
- and computer games for the kids were not high on the list. Adam is your
- typical 2nd grader with interests in Rubber bands, Bicycles, and
- Calvin-and-Hobbs type adventures, so this game was based on thoses interests.
-
- Object of the game: You start out armed with a rubber band shooter, and an
- unlimited supply of rubbler bands. Your mission is to destroy the rubber band
- shooters before they destroy you, and find your way home before dinner.
-
- Equipment needed:
- AT or better recommended
- M.S. Dos 2.0 or higher
- 640K Ram
- VGA Graphics
- The keyboard can be used, but a Serial mouse or Joystick are
- recommended for ease of playing
