About the Story

De fabuleuses aventures vous attendent avec ce superbe jeu de rôle, entièrement graphique, de plus de 120 Ko de langage machine et de BASIC.

Vous voici parti à la recherche d’un inestimable diamant dissimulé sur une île déserte du Pacifique par une civilisation disparue. Aventurier des temps perdus, vous serez tour à tour confronté aux multiples dangers de l’île (1ʳᵉ partie du jeu), et à de mystérieux souterrains où errent d’étranges créatures (2ᵉ partie).

Rongé peu à peu par la faim, la soif et la fatigue, vous devrez en plus prendre garde à ne pas vous perdre parmi les 134 vues que comporte ce jeu !

Afin de vous comprendre, le programme possède un vocabulaire d’environ 90 mots, identifiés et complétés instantanément dès la 3ᵉ ou 4ᵉ lettre tapée. Si vous tapez des ordres inconnus, l’ORIC les efface avant même que vous n’ayez fini de les écrire ! Vous avez de plus la possibilité d’enchaîner jusqu’à 40 instructions qui seront ensuite exécutées automatiquement.

One of the most advanced games on the Oric back then, March 22, 2026

by Dbug (Oslo, Norway)

When this game was released in 1984, it was quite a hit.

Traditionally, Oric adventures were mostly written 100% in BASIC—sometimes with vector graphics—and usually featured very basic parsers.

This game, on the other hand, was written mostly in assembly language and feels snappy: the graphics are good and load quickly, and everything feels very polished.

The adventure layout is unusual: the map is basically a grid where you navigate as usual, but each tile can be viewed from four directions. This lets you examine things like a tower from the front, side, or back, revealing details you might miss at first glance.

One of the game's high points is the parser: it auto-completes keywords as soon as you've typed enough characters, so you can hardly enter anything the game won't understand.

The game has two parts: the first on the surface of the island, and the second underground.

If you understand French, definitely give it a try!
