Gnome Ranger is a fun tongue-in-cheek fantasy text adventure that follows the
exploits and misadventures of Ingrid, a good-natured but exceedingly accident-prone
gnome, who has been banished by her village and must find her way back home. Gnome
Ranger debuts Level 9's new parser that is a vast improvement over their previous
efforts (that ends with Knight Orc) and quite comparable to Infocom's famous parser.
You can now tell Ingrid to FIND any object or person if you have met or seen them
before. This is a very handy command, especially if you've dropped an item by mistake
and can't remember where, or need to find someone in a hurry. You can also GO TO and
RUN TO any location you've been, FOLLOW a person, or WAIT FOR someone to show up.
Puzzles are challenging but fair, and make good use of new parser commands. With
refreshing (if a bit overused) humor, colorful characters, and well-written plot,
Gnome Ranger is a must play for every Level 9 and Infocom fan. |
