Zodiac is a simple adventure, ideal for beginners, but without any mystery or imagination. As for The Secret Of Life, though, it has some odd bugs and, try as I might, I found the game unplayable! Read Review
Both of these adventures have drab graphics, in a repetitive and overlarge border. Ugh. Read Review
As a package, this latest offering from Incentive seems to represent reasonable value for money. Unfortunately, the actual games themselves are disappointing and uninspiring. Read Review

The evil wizard Ramus intends to destroy you and your tribe of ancient warriors, unless the tribe manages to find a way to banish him.
Unknown to Ramus, written in the scriptures of Barenola, it is said that the only defence against evil is in the stars.
Jadaroz, the wise man of the tribe, has studied these writings for decades. Only he knows the secret and only he knows how to destroy Ramus.
But Judaroz is becoming old and frail and so decides to let you go. Your mission is to find the twelve signs of the Zodiac and return with them to the encampment.
He'll be waiting for you, so you'd better be there.
