It's not the best or the most complex, challenging adventure, but it's a bold early attempt to make an immersive, first-person graphic adventure rather than a text adventure. Also historically noteworthy for being an early title from Chuck "Chip's Challenge" Somerville. I did a full playthrough on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MO4Ep9KskuI

A simple two-word parser which allows you to look, get, knock, buy, etc. It all seems cute -- maybe aimed at a young age group -- but the "guess the verb" element is a bit dull, especially with the unhelpful "try something else" responses. Hint: on the keyboards you need to "type" your coordinates in the form of "xx-xx-xx." Don't forget the period at the end!
