"Solidly fun puzzle game." [+]"Solidly fun puzzle game.: I've put it on a few lists myself, I suppose, but for the most part I don't see people talking about this one as much as I think it deserves. It's thoroughly silly, but the puzzles are inventive and clever and it's a big, rewarding piece." ( - Full review) --Emily Short... (No comment) [+](No comment) --Kenneth Hutt...

"A minor IF comedy classic" [+]"A minor IF comedy classic: I don't see this game on the "best of" lists very often, which is a shame, as this is a very clever and often inventive, if somewhat flawed, take on IF conventions and cliches. The puzzle involving the finicky parser is an early highlight." --Molly... "Another oldish..." [+]"Another oldish classic that doesn't seem to be talked about much. Bite-sized, well-written, with great jokes and puzzles (I particularly like how you convince Lalrry to take your payment), plus the format means that on replay you have a shot at skipping the areas you didn't like."

"Castilian language - Well written, fun, polished... and unheard of." [+]"Castilian language - Well written, fun, polished... and unheard of.: This game doesn't even show up on caad.es (the Spanish equivalent of IFDB). The author put a lot of work into it, beta tested it, entered it into a contest, and revised it again afterward. It works well, has good puzzles and narrative, and I just enjoyed it. The title is entirely misleading, I suppose; it isn't written in verse, and the PC is more like a wizard than a bard." () --IFforL2...
