Download Morabis Here: Morabis Version 1.7b
Morabis was created by Michael S. Hoenie and in 1989, and released to the public as "Share Ware" in 1991.

In my earlier days of creating TEXT adventures, I wrote an Atari 800 based game called "Count Crisco's Castle". Though small, it was my first adventure. I went on to program fifteen more. Morabis has been sticking in my mind since 1985. After many years of ideas I sat down to program it. After 21 months of work I released v1.3. Good version but only a rogue replica. I figured that nobody wanted another rogue game, so I spent another 5 months on the 25 dungeon levels. I packed it with BOSS monsters and hidden treasures.

In 1991 I released Morabis version 1.7b to the public.

Morabis is a top-down top/side scroller adventure game:



Morabis II is a quest to find the Amulet of Sae'Gore. During that quest, you will learn magic spells, fight boss monsters, and search 28 different maps. Many of the previous dungeons found in v1.7b have been added to Morabis II, but have been completely re-vamped.

How to Run Morabis:

• Morabis was designed for Microsoft MS-DOS version 5.0. It will must be run in a CMD window.
• Extract all the Morabis files into a directory.
• Run "MORSETUP.EXE" to create all of the dungeon levels.
• Run "MORABIS.EXE" to play.
• See the "Morabis.DOC" file, which is just an ASCII file for instructions on keys.

Known Bugs:

• An weight bug causes the player to not be able to pick up anything. Simply drop everything you are carrying, and then pick it all back up.

Cheats:

• On dungeon level 17, you MUST pick up the grass, and drop it in front of the Unicorns. The Unicorns will drop a key to the final bosses's dungeon.
• Run MORABIS.EXE with the following command line paramter: "1 2 3 4 5 6 7 true" (without quote). Once in game, hold down the ALT key and press 148.
