About

Bill Palmer is a hero among heroes, the king of adventurers, and Professor X has stolen a fetish with extraordinary properties. Off to Africa to get it back. Francois Coulon wrote this point and click adventure in GFA Basic for the Atari ST in 1987, with graphics by Dominique Petter, and Arcan published it.

Brutal Deluxe met Coulon, found the original source in their Applesauce images, and proposed the port. Everything is mouse driven: arrows move Bill, the hand, eye and mouth icons are the verbs, and objects collect under the picture. No copy protection on the IIGS version.

Released August 2021, with a v1.0.1 fix to the English disk in April 2024. This archive does not host the disk; the English and French masters are on the Brutal Deluxe page.
