Ninja Quest X is an addictive open source adventure game. You play a ninja in a dungeon, exploring the many passages and fighting many fearsome monsters (beware the dreaded potted plant!). Built to have the feel of a text adventure but with full graphics and a complete ninja-style look, NinjaQuestX is fairly simple, yet challenging and fun to play. It's open source java, so it runs on anything with the java 1.4.2 or above virtual machine, which is pretty much everything. If you need java, or just a java update, it's here. Download NinjaQuestX here. If your monitor is not at least 830 tall (such as a macbook) try NinjaQuestXtraWide, which was kindly sent to us by DJB. All contributions, source code, images, ideas, and comments are welcome. Contact us any time at NinjaQuestX@gmail.com.

HELP THE PROGRAMMERS!
We've got a really weird error. On some newer machines, the words do not appear in the popups. They still work, and the words that should be in them are always added to the text output panel and the titles of the popups anyway, so you can read them there, but it's really annoying, and we can't figure it out. PLEASE HELP.
