This was a charming little old school game which reminded me of playing your
standard Scott Adams game back in the day: very brief descriptions, exits and
objects clearly defined and just enough depth to make it worth your time playing
it. It also comes with a helpful tutorial mode which will clue you in to what
you need to do. Clearly, being the seasoned adventurer that I am, I didn't need
to use it so I disabled it... then promptly got stuck. Upon checking the
accompanying walkthrough, I discovered the solution was so blindingly obvious
I've really got no excuse for not figuring it out myself. Ah well. Even seasoned
adventurers have an off day from time to time.
This isn't a big game but
there is quite a lot to do. A deceptive amount as it happens. Most of the
puzzles were fairly easy once you applied a bit of the old grey matter to the
problem, with only the task of getting the bull out of his field causing me
problems and forcing me to go back to the walkthrough. Well, the author went to
the trouble of creating the walkthrough so it'd be wasted if I didn't use it,
right? Right?
Overall, this was a decent-ish game, not too hard or too
easy and even had a few graphics which certainly helped with the nostalgic feel
of things.
