Shards

Page 1 of 11

Yet another Essex firm, and one responsible for a clutch of adventures fondly remembered by the genre's cognoscenti, eg Woodbury End, Java Star, Pettigrew's Diary. Attempts at arcade games were fewer and further between, although the decidedly un-PC Whoopsy! warrants a mention.

One of only two non text adventures that Shards did, this is a game about trying to build up your Empire, its mode 2, its reminiscent of the Lothlorien games, not very good its a good thing they stuck to adventures after that!

Set in a graveyard, this is quite a basic adventure, the layout is different to the Quill programmed adventures, its not that good as there is not much description.

A strange game this, you are a baby and have to run around picking up toys before the nanny gets to you. Its quite badly programmed, with a lot of sprite flicker, and it doesnt really interest you for very long. The graphics are low res, and not two bad apart from the flicker, but its just not really a good game.

Strange sort of adventure game this, its done in mode 2/5 which is odd because those modes have almost no memory available for data. It involves less typing than most, but it isn't really a good game because there is such a limited amount of options available. Worth playing at a pinch.
