Quarterstaff: The Tomb of Setmoth

With Quarterstaff: The Tomb of Setmoth, the form and the mood of fantasy role-playing games takes over your Macintosh. As in traditional role-playing games, your band of adventurers has varied powers, temperaments and abilities - and each character evolves throughout the quest. Even the monsters increase their deadly knowledge as the game progresses. You are the Games-Master, with the ability to control every character in your party.

Quarterstaff takes full advantage of your Mac's capabilities to create a richly vivid world, alive with detailed illustrations, maps and descriptions. Digitized sounds of doors slamming, chains rattling and the screams of the damned add a unique dimension to your adventuring. Because it features the ultimate in Macintosh interfaces - hierarchical menus and dynamic map screens - the game can be played almost entirely with a mouse. Quarterstaff's Mac II-specific version adds brilliant color graphics and extensive additional sound effects for even greater impact.

No adventurous game-player should set forth without a Quarterstaff!

Enter the World of the Master Storytellers

As originally developed by Scott Schmitz and Ken Updike, Quarterstaff had reviewers raving:

"Quarterstaff closely approximates what it's like to play a non-computer fantasy role-playing game. For FRP freaks, Quarterstaff is a must-have - a real winner." - MacUser

"<5 stars> - Macintosh users, count your blessings!" - Dragon

Now the combined forces of Scott, Ken, and Infocom have taken a terrific game and made it even better! We've expanded the writing, added an astonishing hierarchical interface and incorporated dazzling color graphics (on the Mac II-specific version) to create an adventure unlike any other.
