As an interplanetary secret agent, you must roam the galaxy in your extremely
fuel-conscious space ship (only 500 gallons to the nearest planet). Heaven knows
what sort of engine your ship possesses, but as stars scroll past your cockpit you
can hear what sounds like a very unhealthy motor-scooter in the background. There
are some touches of dry humour, including an interminable queue of people that you
can stand in for ever, never quite reaching the end. You'll also have some trouble
with a certain crazed dwarf and some unstable stalactites. It's rather easier than
Mindshadow and the atmosphere is rather less enthralling in outer space than it was
on board ship. Both games however, are extremely attractive to look at and might
be particularly suitable for first time adventurers who will no doubt appreciate
the 'living tutorial'. What's encouraging about these games (and the disk Hobbit,
of course) is that here we have adventures with really excellent graphics that make
good use of text and can handle some quite complex inputs. |
