Polarware was an US company which already was specialized in adventure games very early. Titles like Transylvania, The Coveted Mirror, Quest and Ring Quest were already published in the early and mid eighties. At this time the company also developed the Graphics Magician picture technology to allow the images themselves to work on various machines, without having to be redrawn. This made it a lot easier to port their adventures to different platforms.
On the Amiga they also started the Electric Crayon series with interactive colouring books featuring characters from TV series like Sesame Street.
The adventures by Polarware never reached the legendary status of the Infocom titles, however, all these games are in every case worth a test if you are interested in this genre. |  00 Topos
