A task awaits

TaskMaker's opening tutorial board

Storm Impact's Macintosh role-playing adventure sends a new hero through villages, dungeons, monsters and quests. This entry uses the complete, unregistered 2.2.4 shareware package still offered by its creator, including the original sounds and color artwork. It is not an unlocked or modified copy.

The game's Distribution notice encourages sharing complete, unchanged copies without charging for them. Registration rights and the game's copyright remain with its owner. In the browser, dismiss Distribution, choose New, create a character, and save to reach the tutorial board. The illustrated New/Open dialog appears after a short startup delay, and the on-screen movement controls respond in the opening area.

Permission

The creator directly hosts this final 2.2.4 shareware ZIP. The game's Distribution notice invites free copies and says that copies must be complete and unaltered, including the sound and color files, and that copies or distribution must not be charged for. This is the exact unregistered creator-hosted package, with no registration code or edits.

Notes

The ZIP is 1,593,622 bytes, SHA-256 2fc4b81e56559cd30560d8138acf3df8ae7d34a4ffe2dc8f364e6d2df4bf6d72. A fresh fetch from the creator's site matched these bytes. The original 1989 game was later expanded into this color shareware version.
