Description High $take$
Arguably Angelsoft's best game (along with Stephen King's 'The Mist'), High Stakes puts you in the shoes of intrepid gambler Steven Scott, who finds himself involved in countless misadventures one after another.
The author of the book on which it is based is Dick Francis, a former horseman turned best-selling author of crime/thriller novels, all set in a horse racing environment.
The game is as 'thrilling' as interactive fiction can be, with plenty of intense real-time action sequences in which split-second decisions (or typing, as it were) have to be made to save Dick's life. The action starts already in the opening scene, when you must escape from a truck.
