║ ║ About ║
║ ║ ║
║ ║ ASCII Quest is a text-based hack-and-slash ║
║ ║ adventure game. Games of this genre are often ║
║ ║ called "Roguelikes", originating from the 1980 ║
║ ║ dungeon-crawler Rogue. ║
╚═════════════╣ ║
║ In ASCII Quest, you take the role of a greenhorn ║
║ adventurer. You have journeyed to a region across ║
║ two islands. The four major cities of the region ║
║ have been plagued with troubles. Wildlife is ║
║ scarce, and crops barely survive the season. It ║
║ is as if all life is being drained from the land. ║
║ ║
║ The plague was brought by a Lich, a powerful ║
║ undead spellcaster. The Lich is using the three ║
║ Orbs of Eternus to drain the life energy of the ║
║ land. Each Orb is hidden away at the bottom of a ║
║ dungeon, guarded by one of the Lich's trusted ║
║ servants. ║
║ ║
║ You, brave adventurer, must fight your way ║
║ through these dungeons, defeat the Lich's ║
║ minions, and recover the Orbs of Eternus to ║
║ replenish the life energy of the region. Then you ║
║ can take the fight to the Lich on his home plane, ║
║ where you can end his evil blight once and for ║
║ all! ║
