It is the sequel to ''[[Solstice (video game)|Solstice]]'', a [[Nintendo Entertainment System]] game. ==Plot== Shadax, the [[magicians in fantasy|wizard]] hero of Solstice, has been captured and imprisoned by his former [[apprentice]], Sonia. It’s up to his son Glendaal, the only man with the magical powers strong enough to defeat the evil [[witch|sorceress]], to journey through eight levels and hundreds of rooms of tricky platform-jumping and block-sliding puzzles to rescue him from Sonia's icy fortress. ==Gameplay== Glendaal moves from room to room looking for ‘tokens’ (blue orbs), twelve of which must be collected and brought to a boss area where they enable the ‘summoning’ of one of the game’s boss characters. Each of these must be defeated to enable progress to the next area. To aid the player in their quest, one projectile weapon and one magic scroll is hidden on each level for Glendaal to find. Most levels contain a number of entrances which are accessed from an over-world map, home to a sparse collection of wandering monsters. [[File:Equinox game.png|left|thumb|256px|A typical gameplay screen from ''Equinox''.]] ==Reception== ''Equinox'' was awarded for having the Best Ad of 1994 by [[Electronic Gaming Monthly]].<ref name="egmbuyersguide1995">{{cite journal |last= |first= |authorlink= |coauthors= |year=1995 |month= |title=Electronic Gaming Monthly's Buyer's Guide |journal= |volume= |issue= |pages= |id= |url= |accessdate=2009-01-09 |quote= }}</ref> The game was reviewed in 1994 in ''[[Dragon (magazine)|Dragon]]'' #209 by [[Sandy Petersen]] in the "Eye of the Monitor" column.
