One of Infocom's best introductory-level text adventures,
Seastalker is a fun undersea adventure that will delight fans of Wishbringer and
anyone new to the interactive fiction genre. Because it was designed primarily
for children and those inexperienced with Infocom's interactive fiction, it tells
a much lighter and less complicated story than that of Infidel, Infocom's
previous Tale of Adventure. Due to this, Seastalker is very easy, and made even
easier by the hints worked into the context of the game and the hint cards
included. However, beyond the generally simplistic puzzles and somewhat linear
design, Seastalker tells a good story about underwater exploration and sea
monsters, with two or three somewhat interesting subplots and plot twists. |
