First in Leisuresoft's "Leisureland" adventure game series, Scrooge is an
easy adventure game starring Ebenezer Scrooge, the miser millionnaire who lived in
the 19th century. Scrooge has a fun premise: it's your job to convince Scrooge to
give more than he takes on Christmas day. Gameplay involves selecting which items to
use in each location and what action you want Scrooge to perform from the multiple
choices - similar to choose-your-own-adventure books. The huge dose of randomness
makes it frustrating, as many items must be used without any prior clues, and many
times you will find that items you used in the wrong place cannot be retrieved - no
way out but to load the saved games. Still, it's a mildly entertaining game with a
good sense of humor if you can stick with it, but anyone looking for a serious and
logical adventure should look elsewhere. Good for budding adventurers who are
learning to read and don't mind illogical puzzles and random elements. |
