Latinorum

This is a fairly short but well done classic text adventure fitted into the memory of a Commodore 64 / emulator. I played the "play online"-version and except for the initial load and when saving/loading your progress, the responses were almost instant.

• The story is simple but fine enough for this type of "classic" text adventure: Go figure out what the latin test will be about, then copy the necessary text from the text book somewhere in the school. Along you will need to solve several puzzles.
• Of course, some games back in the days had better stories which would have improved this game some. Also, there are several latin phrases but I never learned latin so for me that was kind of wasted, though I could of course had translated it online if I bothered. But it was good enough as it was.

• At times the game was too helpful as opening an item or door often simply required e.g. OPEN DOOR when holding the right item, rather than specifying with the INSERT command. Speaking of commands, all verbs are given when typing COMMANDS so technically, this is a "limited parser"-game so no fighting the parser luckily!

  So despite the game being too easy, this was a charming little nostalgic piece :)
