 CYOA - short and interesting - from 1987, March 20, 2015Paranoia is a game converted from a short CYOA magazine article in "Space/Fantasy Gamer - Jan/Feb 1987". As such, there isn't much depth... and you can play through the game easily within 20-30min. But sometimes that's all you really want. This is based on the PARANOIA role-playing game, and as such it thrusts you right into this world with little explanation. If you're not familiar with PARANOIA, it's a little confusing - although the game still has some decent sci-fi writing and atmosphere. Obviously its intended audience is fans of the game. I did enjoy how the Inform port does the dice-rolling, and clone-tracking for you. It's really better experiencing it in this format than jumping around in the article itself.

I just read through the original C source of the BSD game for fun ( https://stuff.mit.edu/afs/athena/contrib/games/src/bsd-games/paranoia/paranoia.c ) and was wondering where the original was. Yeah, it would be strange for the source material to have come from 1977 given that the game system dates to 1984. |
