How to Handle Marble Springs

Marble Springs is a complex study of characters using the odd bit of information picked up here and there.

Come explore the lives of women in a small Colorado mining town from the mid 1800s when white men first swooped to the gold fields to the mid 1900s when wars took the final breath from the town.

• To understand the people, the culture, the times, requires understanding intricate webs of connections.

• Get acquainted with the people here through their stories, the census, or what is Not Mentioned In Polite Society

• Understand the writings through the prologue.

As in the mines and quarry, remember that what is real and what is unreal lie far below the surface of the words

Marble Springs 1.0 (1993) is still available from Eastgate Systems and runs on any macintosh built before 2006 (with System 9 or lower) and HyperCard.
