1. Introduction
===============================================================================
Seastalker is a fun little text adventure aimed mainly for a younger audience,
but due to the level of depth in the descriptions and complexity in some of the
puzzles it can be enjoyed by people of all ages. The main character is a young
inventor (whose name you can choose at the start of the game), who is working
on experiments in his research laboratory. Suddenly a message comes through
over the videophone by the commander of a research station called Aquadome, who
asks for your help in getting rid of a monster that is attacking their station.
Upon arrival, it seems that the monster is not the only thing to worry about,
as someone is going around causing all sorts of trouble on the station. This
game was given the Introductory Difficulty rating by Infocom, and for this
reason there are far fewer locations the many other Infocom adventures and the
difficulty of the puzzles is very easy. Overall, this is an entertaining game
and is a nice break from some of the more difficult Infocom adventures.
