Silicon Castles

by David Given

Non-IF game
2001

About the Story

"Please note: this game uses some of the more exotic features of the Z-machine. It's known to fail on some interpreters on some systems, due to interpreter bugs. The game will attempt to detect these bugs and warn you before it starts, but I strongly recommend that you get a well-established, standard terp. It was developed on Frotz, and that is what I recommend.

Enjoy yourself." [--blurb from Competition Aught-One]

>INVENTORY - Paul O'Brian writes about interactive fiction

[A]lthough I was impressed as hell with Silicon Castles' technical achievements, I found it a rather unsatisfactory experience. As chess, it's not bad, but its interface is clunky and it appears to be missing some critical functionality. As interactive fiction... well, it's pretty much absent.
