Nick Austin, Mike Austin and Pete Austin with additional help from Ian Buxton.Silicon Dreams is a trilogy of interactive fiction games developed by Level 9 Computing during the 1980s.The following year they appeared together in a bundle as the first, second and last of the Silicon Dreams.Early advertisements gave it the title of Silicon Dream, but was later pluralized.Telecomsoft, which sold it in the United Sates under the Firebird label and in Europe under the Rainbird label.It served as an introduction to The Worm in Paradise.The first step was to launch probes into outer space.Terraforming was a complex process.The survey ship needed to mine materials from asteroids to build a robot factory in space and this could take decades.The robots then proceeded to build more space factories that in turn would produce better robots.The robots also built large satellite dishes to collect data sent from Earth containing the latest technological advances.Once Earth received news of a habitable planet, the plan's third and final step took place.Ten giant passenger discs, each carrying two hundred thousand colonists in stasis, were towed into space.During the 2190s, fifty colony ships were launched from the EEC's Ceres base, among them the Snowball 9.As the Snowball 9 approached Eden, however, something went wrong.Kim Kimberley is a tall, athletic, intelligent woman with brown eyes and fair hair.Commodore 64 screenshot of Snowball as it appears in the expanded version in Silicon Dreams.Snowball was originally released in 1983 and is noteworthy for including over 7,000 locations, more than the average adventure game of its day, when most games were played on home computers with small memory capacities.Scaled up mechanisms are visible through the soft walls and, far below, a circular path surrounds you."For some platforms it was later updated with updated text and new graphics for inclusion in the release of the Silicon Dreams trilogy in 1986.Treakly musak plays for a few minutes and then the voice returns, "Welcome to the interstellar colony spaceship, Snowball 9.I'm sure you'll be more than a match for her, though, provided you avoid the Night.."Despite the fact that the recording is damaged and thus is unreliable, they sentence her to death.The objective is to contact the robots before time runs out for the Snowball 9 and everyone aboard it.Dowson's illustration depicted another robot in the jungle looking towards Enoch.Level 9 wasn't satisfied with the result and asked Dowson to do it again.In this paradise run by robots there's no crime, no taxes, no unemployment, and no freedom.The main character, a nameless citizen of Enoch, starts the game in a beautiful garden where everything seems fine.The objective is to explore the city, and while doing so the player must gather clues to unmask the government conspiracy behind the flying saucers.Development
The trilogy's final installment is a departure from the previous games.It "evolved alongside a 12 month enhancement on Level 9's very own adventure system.Another departure is that the player has only seven days, within the game's clock, to complete the game.The Level 9 Fact Sheet says: "...Reception

Nr.Silicon Dream wants in your pants!Lost in the ocean of the galaxy
The Italopop Space Association Mission X5Ten Silicon Dream, more commonly known as Silicon Dream originated as a mission to investigate an explosion which occured in the star Alpha Centauri.After a series of incidents, the project eventually became a band funded by the corporate giant Yellow Magic Orchestra.The mission was named Italopop Space Association Mission X5Ten Silicon Dream and the Association attempted to hire people to join the mission.WLCP and lame guitar solos with them, Silicon Dream left for Alpha Centauri.Having already left our galaxy, Silicon Dream was not informed that the Italopop Space Association was disbanded as soon as the probe had left the Earth.Just millions of lightyears from home, Silicon Dream attempted to contact the agency.This soon attracted an Earth with a ring around it to follow the Silicon Dream probe.Munzert decided to call the Mothership for help, not remembering that they were the only people participating in the mission.What was expecting Silicon Dream, however, was a time vortex.Content is available under a Creative Commons License. |
