About the Story

""Out of the TextFire "12-pack", this is an April's Fool game "demo" that casts you in the role of a bad guy whose goal it is to become immortal - but this is a bad day..." [--blurb from The Z-Files Catalogue]

Baf's Guide


You are the evil wizard in this excessively ambitious Textfire pseudo-demo! It's a shame that only one very simple puzzle is actually implemented; this is probably the most promising premise in the Textfire 12-pack, and in a superficial way anticipates Varicella.

-- Carl Muckenhoupt

A great teaser for an impossible-to-write sim game, June 5, 2017

The Textfire Demo 12-pack was released on April Fool's in 1998, claiming to be demos of an upcoming commercial studio called Textfire.

This is one of the cruelest jokes in the pack, a demo that promises a massive game with intense conversations, a controllable maze, and an army simulation with graphics.

This is great for its intended purpose.
