World , July 9, 2012

I enjoyed this game more than most Interactive Fiction I've played. It has lots of variety in the settings, interesting tasks to do, artificial intelligence in the form of a robot, strange alien ecosystems, all in all, it is a fun game.

That said; I had it running on a SunOS 4.1.4 box many moons ago and recently hacked it into submission to get it to compile on a CentOS 6.2 box. I've got it running on shellx.eskimo.com presently (need shell account) but e-mailed the author to see if it is okay to distribute source modified to work under CentOS (no change in functionality) as there was no license in the source tar ball. Whether or not a several decades old e-mail address will still be good remains to be seen.

It was fun to revisit after so many years. It's been long enough that I've forgotten much so it's almost a new game to me again.
