CD-Rom, 2000
"It has just been reported that all coins from the Museum of the History
of Cypriot Coinage have mysteriously vanished."
So begins Opsys, a graphic adventure game from the Greek company [hyper]media
and created in conjunction with The Bank of Cyprus Cultural Foundation.
In the game, one hundred coins have vanished from the museum. Your
task is to use the time machine to travel back in time and recover the
coins from their original locations. As encouragement, [hyper]media
is offering US$10,000 to the first person who recovers all of the coins.

Andy La Force called me for help: "Relaxed one-and-a-half-week-job;
sunny Cyprus; beautiful swimming pool..."
Oh, Cyprus is really a very sunny, nice place. I loved the weather,
and enjoyed the hotel's swimming pool very much. The only thing that
turned out to be wrong was, that the job could not be done relaxed within
1 or 2 weeks.
I was there for 2 months, working hard every single day. Fixing hundrets
of Bugs that have been created before Andy and me came to Cyprus. And
adding hundrets of new features and ideas that have been developed meanwhile
to improve the game.
But beside the little problems with the timeplan it was a great experience
working together with the [hyper]media people: Alex "the God",
magic Daphne, and increadible genius Marko.
I think I will come back one day. At least because of the most beautiful
weather ;-)
