Overview edit · view history

Angelsoft, Inc., based in White Plains, NY, was founded by John R. Sansevere and Mercer Mayer. The company created eight text adventures in 1985/86, most of them book or film adaptations. Their games were written in a script language called ASG.

A particular hallmark of Angelsoft games was that the puzzles were semi-random; you could do everything right and still die due to changing conditions and have to load a previously saved game.
