A collection of characters and over a dozen scenarios created by others are available for your enjoyment! If you wish to create you own scenarios, a utility program, GAMEMAKER.GS, is also included on the disk.
The game starts with the standard apple desktop menu. Menus are available for loading and saving games or characters. Once you are playing the game itself, the set of available commands for you character is very similar to 'ultima' series of games.
Although Explorer scenarios can be as different as your imagination, they all have one thing in common: to 'win' the scenario, a specific object must be found. The winning items are the Crown, Golden Shield, Sceptre, and Necklace. When one of these is discovered, the scenario has been won (and the character receives a lot of experience).
The overall layout of the scenario is divided up into 'rooms'. Each room has exits to other rooms. The auto-mapping feature shows the rooms location in the overall layout. As a character moves through the maze, fighting monsters and disarming traps, he will build experience points. These increase the character's stats and give him new spells.

GS 179
The following Hypercard GS stacks were supplied from the AUSOM club in Melbourne. They are a must for all fans of STAR TREK, both old and new. If you are interested in seeing the power of Hypercard scripting then these are also for you! Originally written for the Mac, Stephen Davidson from Ausom has converted these to run on the Apple IIGS. Where possible colour has been used to make them superior their originals!!
1. Star Trek Reference Stack
This is of original STAR Trek series. The episode guide is for three seasons. Each episode is a recorded as a card which has interesting information about an episode. Information kept includes "stardate", regular cast, guest actors, plot
synopsis, writers and directors. The stack requires 200k of ram to run and will fit easily on a 3.5 inch disk as it is only 140k in size.
2. Star Trek: The Next Generation - Stack Guide 1.2.1
This stack is of the more recent television series. It is a much larger stack due to the fact it covers over 120 episodes (6 seasons). It requires over 900k of ram to run and will require a hard drive for storage as it is big.. 1 Meg in size. As the new television series is still in production expect updates in the near future...
Both stacks require Version 1.1 of Hypercard IIGS. The two stacks on the disk are supplied as self-extracting SHRINKIT archives.
