Step Into the Drama of a 14th Century Castle and a Battle on an 18th Century Sailing Ship
These adventure software games bring long ago worlds into exciting, three-dimensional life. Castle Explorer sneaks you onto the grounds of a 600-year old castle. Step inside 3D rooms to search the castle's rich contents and meet the medieval occupants, from the alchemist who mixes strange potions to the soldiers and troubadours who stand gaurd against threats to the crown. Move from the dark, cold recesses of the dungeon, as you work your way to the heights of the soldiers' watchtower. But beware! And think carefully before you answer any questions the castle characters ask you while you spy on the baron, someone might be spying on you!
