The game runs in a DOS emulator: keyboard and mouse work like on an old PC, each game has its own layout (see the hints in the game). There are no on-screen buttons on a phone.
First click the game screen once: after that the keys go to the game, not the page. To scroll the page again, click outside the game window. If the game does not respond, click the game screen again.
The game runs from the Internet Archive site in their emulator; there are no game files on our servers. We show it so you can get to know it; the rights to the game belong to the rights holders. The built-in player has no volume control: if there is no sound or you need to adjust it, open the game page on Internet Archive, which has sound and full-screen buttons.

CNCS gives you the power to create games much more advanced than any of the games released by Hayden Software themselves at that time. The Computer Novel Construction Set enjoyed a short lived revival between 2001 and 2002 as some episodes in the long running Adventure Game Studio series Reality on the Norm were written in this format, breaking away from the series point and click adventure roots.
