1446.0. "THE GOLDEN PATH" by NZOV01::MCKENZIE () Sun May 29 1988 21:57

    Couldn't find a note on this game, so I'll start one here. I have
    just purchased a copy of Firebird's new graphics adventure game,
    THE GOLDEN PATH. It's really quite good....but I'm stuck (like so
    many adventure games before this...why I bother I dont know - must
    be addicted...?)
    
    Anyway.....THE GOLDEN PATH is set in China's mystical past. The
    object of the game is to find one red and one yellow stick of incense
    and place them at the feet of the sacred shrine (wherever that is??)
    there are aproximately 40 places to visit, 50 items to collect and
    about 30 charcters to interact with. In comparison to games like
    ZORK and THE BARDS TALE this sucker is just a baby....but in its
    own way - quite unique!! THE GOLDEN PATH is a sort of animated
    graphics/text game. You move your character all over the place using
    the mouse and can get written descriptions on each scenario by
    selecting the appropriate window. some quite neat situations include
    avoiding water spirits and demons, beating up outlaws, talking to
    wise men and generally punching/kicking/thinking/throwing/dropping
    and falling down the golden path of enlightenment.
    
    I would be interested to hear from anyone who has played this game

    too darn many interesting things out there these days.
