TRINITY SYNOPSIS
|
|
BM 11/15/85
|
|
|
|
The story casts you as an American tourist, taking a morning stroll through
|
|
a London park. You meet a couple of weird characters, solve a few puzzles,
|
|
and generally have a pretty good time until somebody drops an H-bomb and
|
|
blows the whole city to bits. Good thing you discovered that magic door,
|
|
or you'd never have escaped in time.
|
|
|
|
The door transports you to a Zorkish fantasy world, centered around an
|
|
enormous sundial that casts a long, moving shadow across the landscape. This
|
|
improbable universe is littered with lots of giant toadstools, each equipped
|
|
with its own magic door. Whenever the dial's shadow passes over a toadstool,
|
|
the magic door opens, and you can visit a "real" historical place where
|
|
somebody is about to explode an atomic bomb. Locations include an underground
|
|
test site, a Siberian wilderness, a tropical atoll, a "Star Wars" orbital
|
|
battlefield and a playground in Hiroshima.
|
|
|
|
The player has to explore every square inch of the fantasy world, figure out
|
|
how to control the giant sundial, visit all the magic doors (in the right
|
|
order) and solve a bunch of interconnected puzzles before he or she can
|
|
tackle the seventh and final toadstool ... the Trinity test.
|
|
|
|
The player materializes in the test tower, only twenty-nine minutes before
|
|
the Gadget is scheduled to detonate. The site is heavily guarded, and danger
|
|
lurks behind every cactus. If you survive long enough to reach the control
|
|
bunker, you'll meet a Who's Who of famous scientists, all intent on vaporizing
|
|
your only way home. Can you stop the Bomb from going off? What will happen
|
|
if you do? And what about those mysterious beings who keep making snide
|
|
comments in the corners of your video screen? Are you being used?
