The Ice Guardian by Mark Eaton and Barrie Eaton Science Fiction 1991 Web Site

About the Story

A third game written by my father, Barrie Eaton, has now been released to Android devices.

This was originally released in 1991 in the U.K.

Like Moonbase 3 and Mystery of the Dark Manor, this uses the same engine to maintain a consistent user experience.

A unique feature for this game is that it uses Google Analytics to capture anonymous input from the user. No personal information is captured, just text input.

What does this mean?

Although I have absolutely no idea who they are, I can see what people are typing in for each location. Ever been frustrated as you had the right idea but didn't get the exact word right for an interactive fiction game? Well now that I know what people are typing in I can include their input into this game.

As such with each successive update I am capturing more thoughts and intentions, not specific commands.

This game has now had 1 update since Google Analytics was added. Over 50 responses have been included which didn't exist in the original release.

Hope people have as much fun playing it as I did converting it for Android :-)
