📝 About this app
The Pawn is a text based adventure game released by Magnetic Scrolls in 1985 to wide acclaim.

Magnetic Scrolls was a British video game developer active between 1984 and 1990. A pioneer of audio-visually elaborate text adventure games.… View full description on the official store →
