Synopsis

Plot

This is the game of Odyssey. It is a game of fantasy and fiction, combined together to produce an amazing world in which magic, devils, and dwarves can be very real, and sometimes deadly things.

Enjoy the game, as it creates your wonder world, but remember: some people go into mazes, never to return!

Notes

Although sold commercially at retail stores presumably few copies were sold, as the game is not listed in any Apple II indexes or archives, nor in any biographies of Mark Capella.

The only known references to this game on the internet are:
1. Advertisement for computer games by Powersoft in the February 21, 1980 issue of Micro magazine (pdf file at http://www.6502.org/documents/publications/micro/)
2. Article about then new adventure games in the October 1980 issue of Popular Mechanics magazine (pdf file at https://archive.org/details/PopularMechanics1980/mode/2up)

The game had a couple of text errors on the back side data files that caused the game to stop midway. However, since they were text files, these errors could be corrected on a new diskette and the game then completed.
