Mindshadow (Mac OS Classic)

This standalone adventure game is one of many with an amnesiac protagonist, but one of only two whose in-game hint line is staffed by a clairvoyant bird-king and his butler.

Hidden Credit#

The resource file "cp" has a Mac OS type code of Troy, after programmer Troy Worrell.

Hidden Ending#

Enter the command burger at any time to get killed by "a crazed management type".

This Easter egg is part of a long-running inside joke on the part of Interplay co-founder Rebecca "Burger" Heineman. Variations on the same scenario are concealed in many Interplay games.
