Marilyn McCoo, eat your heart out! We've got the real Solid Gold, and now you can get it too! We've taken our best-selling games, Zork I and The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, redesigned the packaging, added new features, and called them Solid Gold! But this is the first time Solid Gold has been so inexpensive; the stories of the Solid Gold series are available for only $14.95!
We want to let everyone find out how good Infocom interactive fiction is, so we've made the Solid Gold series like the paperback version of your favorite best-seller. Not a single treasure, a single adventure, not even a single witty reply has been taken out. You get the complete game diskette and an instructional manual in a beautiful, newly redesigned package.
And not only did we not remove anything from the game diskettes, we filled them to the bursting point. On-screen hints are included on the diskettes. Like InvisiClues, these on-screen hints tell you only what you want to know, when you want to know it, proceeding from a gentle nudge in the right direction to the entire answer.
Solid gold
Solid Gold means All-Time Best-Seller! Solid Gold means Long-Term Classic! Solid Gold means the Best in Interactive Fiction! Zork has literally changed the lives of hundreds of thousands of people for whom it was the very introduction to computers. The Solid Gold Zork I is the original, the one that was certified Platinum by the Software Publishers Association this fall. For anyone who doesn't own Zork, now's the time to get it. For anyone who doesn't know what Zork is, now is the time to buy them a present.
The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy has been a phenomenal success as a series of books, on radio, and on television. It is little wonder that everybody said Don't Panic when the interactive version came out. It, too, was honored with a Platinum award by the SPA. Douglas Adams's wacky wit and Steve Meretzky's challenging puzzles have made the interactive story a must for every software library.
By now you want to know where you can get Solid Gold classics. Well, it’s as easy as 1-2-3! (1) Go to your dealer and kick him in the shins if he doesn't have it. (2) Call 1-800-262-6868 and order it with your favorite credit card. (3) Fill in the order form in the center of this issue (or photocopy) and mail it to us.
But wait, there's more! If you are one of the first ones to order by phone or mail, we'll send you the hardback version at paperback prices! That's right, you'll get all the cute little things in the packages for only $14.95! And since the hardback version doesn't have on-screen hints, we'll send you free InvisiClues, too! A total value of up to $47.90 for only $14.95!
