History
Version 1 of Kye was released in January 1992, and was widely distributed in the UK in collections of shareware games. This version contained all the main features of the game, including mouse control, real-time movement of objects, and the active monsters. It was possible for users to create their own levels, but there was no editor provided - the levels are text files, so can be edited with any text editor.
Version 2 was released in May 1992. People who registered version 1 got version 2, and a larger collection of levels. Version 2 included a WYSIWYG editor integrated into the game (although this editor could only edit single-level files). It also added new objects which increased the scope of the game for arcade style puzzles, including black holes, shooters and timer blocks.
Both of these versions are for Windows only, and are 16-bit applications. They still run on a modern Windows system, but should be installed in a directory with a short (<=8 characters in the filenames) path, otherwise there will be problems opening levels.

Famous quotes containing the word history:
“Classes struggle, some classes triumph, others are eliminated. Such is history; such is the history of civilization for thousands of years.”
—Mao Zedong (1893–1976)
“Whenever we read the obscene stories, the voluptuous debaucheries, the cruel and torturous executions, the unrelenting vindictiveness, with which more than half the Bible is filled, it would be more consistent that we called it the word of a demon than the Word of God. It is a history of wickedness that has served to corrupt and brutalize mankind.”
—Thomas Paine (1737–1809)
“The history of a soldier’s wound beguiles the pain of it.”
—Laurence Sterne (1713–1768)
