"There is nothing on this planet more pleasant
than an outdoor bath in a 104 degree pool. Steam
surrounds you in an ethereal massage. Tufa deposits
line the steep walls behind you and brilliant green
algae decorate the rock where the spring trickles
in. A few bubbles and a small current rise from the
depths..."
She's Got a Thing for a Spring
An Interactive Dip in a Hot Spring
Release 4 / Serial Number 080207
She's Got a Thing or a Spring - Release 4 - is now available for
download and play. It is set in the mountains of western North
America, full of wildlife, scenery, and of course, a natural hot
spring. A talkative and friendly old country doctor inhabits a cabin
there in the woods.
This is the long-awaited, long-given-up-on bug-fixed version of the
game that won 4th place in the 1997 IFComp. It was nominated for four
Xyzzy awards, and won for Best Individual NPC.
I have almost released this game again many times, only to find
something else that compelled me to fix it. No doubt it's still not
perfect, and never will be.
This is a work of love, and the landscape and events contained within
it are as real to me as those from my past. Some of the places and
events really did happen, one way or another, and some are pure
fiction, but to me, they are all real.
I welcome you to download and enjoy She's Got a Thing for a Spring,
