Synopsis

During a recent archaeological dig in Peru, your friend, Professor Baumbeker, discovered an amazing metallic sphere that defied all Inca technology and all modern technology, as well. He kept this discovery a secret until he could determine what it was and where it may have come from.

Late one evening, the professor rang you in a most excited state to tell you that he had used the sphere to see into another world. You promised to come down to his laboratory first thing in the morning to see this new discovery for yourself, but when you arrived, the professor wasn't there.

While you waited for the professor to arrive, you touched the metallic sphere with your right hand where the professor had described and were shocked to see a vision of the professor.

After absent-mindedly touching the sphere with your left hand, you were teleported into darkness, where you could only hear the dripping of water.

In this game, you must search a strange world, avoid its hazards and discover its secrets in order to find the professor and return him home from this Unknown Dimension.

Notes

This game is an adaptation of the Italian adventure Dimensione Sconosciuta by Bonaventura Di Bello, which was later rewritten as Amos Newton: Incubo. It has been translated to English and rewritten for a modern audience with the original author's permission. This new version includes many enhancements that weren't in either of the original versions. Type ABOUT in the game for further info.

The game can be played online or downloaded from itch.io.

The Apple II version requires an Apple IIe. The Atari 8-bit version requires an Atari 130XE.
