Download Silicon Dreams - DOS game

Silicon Dreams is a 1986 DOS science-fiction adventure that combines exploration, mystery, and puzzle-solving in a futuristic setting. Players investigate an unusual situation while interacting with characters, examining locations, and making decisions that gradually reveal more of the story. The game belongs to an era when computer adventures were still experimenting with ways to create large imaginary worlds using relatively limited technology. Much of the appeal comes from its atmosphere and the feeling that there is always another piece of information waiting to be discovered. Progress depends on curiosity and careful observation rather than fast reflexes, making it a thoughtful experience by design. Silicon Dreams has the unmistakable charm of early computer science fiction, where a futuristic terminal and a few lines of text could make your imagination do most of the expensive graphical work. It is a quiet reminder that good science fiction does not always need laser beams.

Silicon Dreams review

Computer Gamer (1987): "The parser is of a high quality and understands such phrases as 'get all except the laser' and 'take the box and open it'. You can temporarily save your position to RAM and, should you make a fatal mistake, the OOPS command lets you go back a step. The three games come complete with comprehensive instructions and a forty odd page novella. This package is a treat for adventurers everywhere."

Retro gamer collector's corner:

Silicon Dreams is a trilogy of interactive fiction games developed by Level 9 Computing during the 1980s. The first game was Snowball, released during 1983, followed a year later by Return to Eden, and then by The Worm in Paradise during 1985. The next year they were vended together as the first, second and last of the Silicon Dreams.
