To Preserve Quandic was probably the largest graphical adventure game done on the TRS-80 Color Computer at the time of its release. Taking two full disks, it was larger than both Sands of Egypt and Dallas Quest, which preceded it. The game was quite extensive in locations, and the basic premise was to preserve the pacifistic Quandic race, who had advanced technology like time machines. The game made extensive use of the rarer artifact colors.
