Tim Kemp 7/10

FSF (Fantasy and Science Fiction) adventures is run by world-renowned tall person Larry Horsfield. Larry has, in the past, tended to concentrate on bringing out multi-part adventures of the highest imaginable quality. Since his last real blockbuster - an epic four-parter that sneaked into my all time top fifteen adventures and received a YS megagame rating - I'm talking about the legendary Axe of Kolt - he's quietly been working on more titles. Some are his own creations while others have been inspired by other people but coded by Larry. It's about time we had a brief look at FSF'ss winter collection so here we go with a focus on FSF... Title: Run, Bronwynn Run! 48K tape... £2.49 128K +3 disk... £3.49 Run, Bronwynn Run! ad Spectre of Castle Coris (on one +3 disk) £4.49 Reviewer: Tim Kemp Finally in this focus on FSF Adventures we come to Run, Bronwynn, Run! Again Larry has made it a multi-part game (three parts - 48k only this time) and in it you play the part of Princess Bronwynn, only daughter and youngest child of King Brendan and Queen Sophia of Alizon. As in most adventures you have a quest to complete - only this time it's a marriage that you have to get out of rather than the jaws of some toothy creature. Your odious suitor. Timothy (nice name that), is in hot pursuit so you'd best make a clean getaway. As you play you'll come across references (rather large ones too) to characters from the 'Alaric' sagas, so you'll feel right at home if you've played those other games. Right, looks like we've come to the end of what's turned out to be a rather detailed look at the FSF collection. If I had to sum up what I think FSF stands for I'd have to say that most of the games offer a great challenge, are full of rich evocative text that conjures up vivid images of the realms that you find yourself adventuring in. and there are more than enough plot twists and turns to keep you guessing. Larry Horsfield doesn't release games all that regularly (which is one reason why you'll not find him frequenting these pages too often) but when he's got a newie coming out you'll find me at the head of the queue waiting for it! All games available from FSF Adventures, Larry Horsfield, [redacted]. Cheques and POs made payable to FSF Adventures. Overseas customers please add: 50p per order (Europe) or £1.00 (the world).
