Ancient History!, April 5, 2008by Grunion Guy (Portland) I can credit this game with my love of text adventure games. I played it when I was quite young on my Vic-20. And even though the game is sparsely detailed with a frustrating parser compared to today's games, it was quite exciting and kept me coming back to try and solve its unfair puzzles. Not really much to look at now, it might be worth checking out. Was this review helpful to you? Yes No Remove vote | View comments (2) - Add comment
- Matt Kimmel (Cambridge, MA), November 29, 2007 - AmberShards (The Gothic South), October 29, 2007 Baf's GuideA game of historical significance: originally written in TRS-80 BASIC, this was the first adventure game to be widely available on microcomputers. It's a minimalist treasure hunt set in and around a cave - an imitation of Colossal Cave, only without the prose. Good sense of freedom, somewhat eccentric design, two-word parser (except the Inform port), magic words, a maze, and a limited light source. -- Carl Muckenhoupt
