Contents

Plot

A successful stockbroker suddenly finds himself embroiled in a world of crime and danger.

Gameplay

The game is a standard text adventure with static graphics in some versions. It focuses primarily on character interaction instead of object interaction. The Amiga version has a "speech mode", though Computer Gaming World noted it only as a novelty.[2]

Reviews

  • Sinclair User:

    "This adventure is set in the modern day world of high finance. Your partner has framed you and you must prove your innocence... CORRUPTION is different from normal adventures as it depends more on the gathering and correlating of information than puzzle solving. In time, though you'll be able to find out the answers to all the questions except one - why can't I use the loo?"[3]

  • Your Sinclair:

    "All in all, I enjoyed CORRUPTION far more than I thought I would ... but not quite as much as the previous Magnetic Scrolls games."[4]

Computer Gaming World praised the game's menu features, such as the ability to reveal exits.[2]

Notes

The working title of the game was "Upon Westminster Bridge".[5]
