The Adventurers' Museum

SynTax
This game has it all; faultless spelling and grammar, fascinating locations, marvellous atmosphere, great plot (some would say "corny", but I'm sticking with "great"), and the ability to grab you right into a fantasy world and hold you there. [...] I particularly liked the many different ways of dealing with threatening or unco-operative characters; none of the usual "kill xxx with yyy" stuff, getting rid of troublesome creatures required a lot more subtlety than that. A few of the problems reminded me of classical old favourites like Zork 2, but that only added to the atmosphere, and gave me more nostalgia to wallow in.
