About MP-Shareware
===========================================================================================================

MP-Shareware started with Matthew Phillips back in 1997. Matthew Phillips was 16 years old and an aspiring programmer. He had a desire to create a video game along the order of the Nintendo Classic game Shadowgate. He, however, wished to add turn-based combat to the mix.

In 1998, Matthew released a demo under the 'MP-Software' name called 'Castle Quest- Perils of the Dark One.' This game was released only on download32.com and a few others. It is nearly impossible to find this demo now.

The game idea was revised and scrapped to form the idea for Quest of Xynha- Baal's Uprising.
QOX expanded the storyline, though it used only 1/4 of the screen instead of the full screen semi-real time of Castle Quest.

Quest of Xynha had input from Jon Edgar (some music tracks), Steven Don (Sound Engine), and design ideas from various people.
