Prompt 02: #Relic. Ooooo two in one day! I thought I actually had some of these diskettes physically tucked away somewhere, but no. I mean, really, I don't think I used these since the Apple ][ days 😬 (Oh dang, I should've done that for Prompt 1, right?? 😝) #Inktober

"Storm Breaker" (1989) by Sam Ruby is a beautifully crafted Eamon adventure that takes you through a mix of exploration, puzzle-solving, and combat as the plot unfolds. It's also among the largest and most complex adventures, so block off some time and keep this map handy! eamon.wiki/Storm_Breaker

I'm just starting my first full play-through of Sam Ruby's epic multi-disk adventure "Elemental Apocalypse II: Storm Breaker"! ⛈️ It's stuffed to the gills with special features and custom commands and effects, so it should be a real treat to explore and map. eamon.wiki/Storm_Breaker

Good to know! There are a handful of Eamon adventures that were published by Softdisk, so learning who actually owns them and where things stand rights-wise would be wonderful.

Eamon Wiki @eamonwiki.bsky.social · 13/06/2026

The Softdisk rights were held by Tony Diaz (owner of Syndicomm), but he passed away in 2021 and it's unclear where that leaves things legally. I inquired a few years ago with Ken Gagne but at the time he wasn't sure either. If you learn more, I'd love to hear what you find out!

The adventures were part of the software library of the old Apple Corps of San Diego, but they seemingly never made it into wider circulation. Rediscovering them and making them available through the Eamon Wiki has been a lot of fun, and mapping them will be a treat. 😊

My senior project in high school, I rewrote the base Eamon game in C. Sure wish I still had that code. It sparked my interest not just in adventure/RPG, but also the concept of free/open source software. The fact it had what we now call DLC put it way ahead of its time!

SwordThrust, the commercial successor to Donald Brown's freeware Eamon, kept the same basic structure and game play as its predecessor but wove in lots of new features, stats, spells, and other refinements. It was first published by CE Software, and later distributed by Softsmith and Main Street.

Sword of Kadash (1985) | action RPG | PC platforms | Dynamix

The little arrow heading away from the human figure near the center of the screen towards the giant spider thing is your weapon, a kind of arrow machine gun thing augmented by whatever weapon you find. So if you find a dagger, it's like a dagger attack -- only ranged. The fortress you explore is also riddled with destructible blocks, rooms, treasures, and plenty of enemies!
