1-11 of 11 >INVENTORY - Paul O'Brian writes about interactive fiction It's been a long time since I've played a Mikko Vuorinen game. The last one was his 1999 comp entry King Arthur's Night Out, which bizarrely recast King Arthur as a henpecked husband in a domestic farce. Some people, like Adam Cadre, apparently found this hilarious, but it mostly left me cold. Still, I was pleased to see Vuorinen's name on a comp entry this year, and playing TAOTPOTUS felt like a reunion with a seldom-seen relative -- even though its behavior was often exasperating, I couldn't help feeling a certain fondness for it, both because of its reliably predictable traits and because of my sense of shared history with it.

![]() by Andrew Schultz (Chicago) The idea behind the game is wonderful--the President escapes from his boring job in the White House and visits various countries. Only the big ones, plus Finland and Sweden, get a room. The puzzles are apolitical and silly, and they are generally funny once you figure them out. APUS also gives many funny default responses and "You can't go that way" replacements. Was this review helpful to you? Yes No Remove vote | View comments (2) - Add comment

The Adventures of the President of the United States is a funny game you can play in 15 minutes. It's highly caricatural and can remind of some old point n click adventure games (you can travel through various countries with just the normal compass directions). Some puzzles are not hinted enough I think, and you have to carefully examine everything to get new clues and open new possibilities. Was this review helpful to you?
