The Amiga is awesome.

Mike Berlyn (and his wife, Muffy Berlyn), in association with Polarware, made a graphical text adventure called Oo-Topos in 1986. For the longest time, I haven't been able to find the Amiga version. No longer! This took forever to find, but here is a download link for the Amiga disk image of Oo-Topos (sometimes seen on the web as OO-Topos or ootopos, depending on what you are searching for).

I have not tested this myself - gonna fire it up tonight and make sure it is the right thing. If it is, I will also throw it on the IF Archive.

Oo-Topos is like the greatest name for a game, ever. Inspired by recent events, I wanted to play it and win it.

I got it going in DOSbox, but I can't get past the original screen. I started searching Usenet to see if I could find any info. I found this:

Subject: Oo-Topos: is it playable off GMD?

Has anyone been able to get Oo-Topos to work in DOS? I've tried it in DOS 6.22, W98 DOS 7.0 and NT DOS yet had no luck. It looks like it wants to run off the A:, but I see it lock up whether I'm playing it off a hard drive or floppy.

The game is at:

Yeah, so just a quick 8 years between wanting to get the thing going and getting distracted with other stuff. Heh, heh, heh.
