In Wishbringer, you're a postal clerk in a small seaside village called Festeron. You deliver a strange envelope to a magic shop, and discover that an old woman's black cat has been kidnapped by "the Evil One." The old woman asks for your help, and when you leave the magic shop, you find yourself trapped in a nightmare world. Your once-quit town is now full of goons, trolls, vultures, fortress-like towers, and assorted wickedness. You become entangled in the struggle between Good and Evil; extraordinary help is found only in unusual places. Everyone seeks to possess a magic stone of dreams known as Wishbringer; but only you can find it and use its powers to make your town safe again. And you only have a few hours!

CompatibilityLike 'Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy' (not included in this download), you don't need to configure a Mac emulator to play these games, because 'Zoom' does the job for you, too.
For Zoom, please refer to its homepage at http://www.logicalshift.demon.co.uk/mac/zoom.html
To get the games recognized by Zoom, please add the extension ".z5" (without quotes) to the Wishbringer application name.
Comments
I set the correct engine for this entry.
A few days ago I thought I should/could add 'Zoom' as engine to matching Infocom games, but Z-machine is OK, too.
Because Zoom is the Mac OS X interpreter for these games...
