Frozen Gambit

Marlin Computing, 1999. Game for Windows 95 and 98.

Description

A text adventure for Windows 95 and 98, released by Marlin Computing in 1999 and never reissued.

Provenance

Transferred from the backlog of unread media at a partner archive. Three disks; one read cleanly on the first pass and the rest after repeated flux-level reads. Most of the work survives, but some files are lost. The damage map lists them.
