Mountains of Ket

Baf's Guide

A decent specimen of the 1980's dungeon crawl. The objective is to cross under a mountain range, but collecting treasures gives extra points. Two-word parser with a small vocabulary and no EXAMINE command. Randomized combat that's usually but not always avoidable. Ample opportunity to render the game unwinnable. Consulting the room-based HELP text is essential to solving some puzzles.
