This was one of the first games I saw someone play. I must admit, the times I did have a go I was struggling with the parser and always ended up inputing swear words just to see what inventive things it would come out with.
Still, this was a great interactive fiction games because it had graphics to go along with the text. Unfortunately, although it's retro feel does create a great atmosphere, my concentration level was in tuned with today's games and I didn't have enough patience to delve further into this game.
The idea of inputting commands was great at first but when things don't seem to improve or go anywhere, it started to get frustrating to the point that I needed a FAQ. But then with these games, once you see the FAQ, you see the whole game and then there wouldn't be any point in typing out all the instruction. Unless, you were keen to see the rather dated yet charming graphics.
