About the Story

So this is what happens when Santa calls you out of retirement. You had wondered what it felt like to be subjected to Baron Justus Von Liebig's teleportation methods. Well, now you have experienced it first hand. You remember when you were very young and the wisest oldest elf was summoned. The mirror in the Great Christmas Hall is still cracked to this date. Never had such an emergency required such drastic measures.

Tonight history repeats itself. You are now the eldest elf and have been magically summoned out of retirement. The burden of responsibility rests heavily on YOUR shoulders. Christmas has gone amuck and you must call on your years of wisdom and the recollections of your youth to set it right.

You're the oldest and wisest elf of them all, come out of retirement to help Santa Claus prepare for a particularly tricky Christmas. Not a difficult game, but involves some trial and error. The AGT version plays Christmas carols over the internal speaker, but fortunately you can turn them off (or, better yet, delete them from your disk without otherwise affecting the game.)

The Elf's Adventure is one of the best AGT games I have played so far, being near enough free from bugs and spelling mistakes. Anyone who has played AGT adventures will know these are usually the things that let the games down. There are some neat twists to the plot which will have you racking your brain and then groaning when the answer becomes clear. There are some excellent descriptions and long sections of text which show the authors haven't just rattled the game out in an odd moment but have put time and effort into getting it just right.

There are two mazes though, one very small and completely pointless but the other is a swine.
