About the Story

On a scientific mission, your starship found that its long-range scanners could not penetrate the atmosphere of an unknown planet due to a shimmering forcefield. A landing party was sent down to investigate, Unfortunately, the dropship crashed.
While the engineers are working to get the ship operational again, you are sent out to explore the surface and search for helpful resources and to investigate this mysterious World.
From a rocky ridge, you find a huge valley with different terraformed geographical zones, each with its own vegetation and, perhaps, other life-forms?

Time to go exploring!

SPAG
"World" is a game in the tradition of the old mainframe adventures like Colossal Cave and Zork/Dungeon. This means that it's a big game (several hundred locations), with a heavy emphasis on treasure-hunting and exploration. Unlike those games, however, the author has managed to create a much more coherent world - which doesn't stop it from also being a world that is very varied and offers a lot of surprises.

SynTax
World is a gloriously long and complicated text adventure with a sci-fi flavour that should keep you occupied for months - real heavy-duty adventuring required on this one! There is none of the usual amateurish feel to World, and it will draw you into the gameworld from the word go with vivid descriptions and good atmosphere. Problems and puzzles abound, most of them quite complicated, so this is not a game for beginners or the chronically impatient.
