Emerald Citadels

Ardent Games, 1999. Game for Windows 95 and 98.

Description

A puzzle game for Windows 95 and 98, published by Ardent Games in 1999.

Provenance

Deposited by Hazeldale Museum of Computing, which had held it unread for years. The dye layer had begun to fail at the outer edge; the last sectors came from a second read in a different drive. Independent reads agree bit for bit.
