I was playing this game in primary school, years ago, learning foreign language (English) to win in such adventure games. This one was of my best favorites. And it remained so to nowdays. I love such climats of adventures, obvious. I remember, that I had to use 'Sherlock' utility or other similar, to check words on disk searching in files of this game. I was trying hardly, I had to go further to accomplish, simple, obvious. |
| Unlike Infocom games, which required you to problem solve various challenges in order to go further in the game, this one is quite flawed. I solved the game years ago, but remembered that it wasn't easy, despite the built-in help. One issue is that the items you needed didn't necessarily look like that they were supposed to in the picture. The two word parser was quite antiquated by then, and it was always a challenge to find the right noun-verb combination to get ahead. Later, I found out you could type in all the "remember" commands on the island without having to play all the way through, and you'd still win! I still liked the game despite the flaws. |
