I added some new door mechanics to my #CRPG Cyclopean. Locks will take a few seconds to unlock, and there is a chance of failure, even when you have the requisite stats.

When I was little I was absolutely certain that Questron was going to revolutionize learning.
Who else had one of these things?

An example of a typical Questron book, which all featured a mix of questions and puzzles that you’d use your Questron learning pen to answer and solve.

The salivating face of Mantor, "THE EVIL SORCEROR", leers at an eagle-riding hero in this 1984 ad for Questron, a CRPG for PCs by SSI
Rated "PG" for "POSITIVELY GREAT" (and having to license its "structure and style" from Ultima's Richard Garriot after settling out-of-court), it became a big hit!

For the uninitiated, here’s how the Questron pen worked.
Obviously, you could only use it with the special Questron books, but back in the 80s, to a kid like me, this was considered mind blowing.
