These do not auto-refresh, so you'll have to LOOK again if you want an update on the room. The game does have a few nice bits, however- obvious exits are listed, as are obvious items to interact with, which is good, since many objects have two word names seperated by a hyphen to make them one word (such as small-stone) and the game would not recognise stone instead of small-stone. It becomes easy to SAVE your game, but figuring out how to restore your saved game has been impossible, leaving you to start over every time you die (which will be often). The biggest complaint is that apparantly the game never came with an instruction book, as an avertisement in the beginning declares it as shareware, and suggests you mail $10 to the author for an instruction book, making it seem not only cheap, but rediculous, since the whole game is available. Sometimes you actually have what appears to be a D&D style combat with damage based on HP damage, but in another zone, guns do a one hit kill with no combat mechanic at all. There are some combat scenes, and the style of combat changes as you enter different zones. (Apparantly, for some reason, an alien won't attack you if you're carrying a specific item, which makes no sense). On top of that, many puzzles are illogical. Since there is a two word parser, 'look in small-door' 'reach in small-door' etc does not work.

However, trying to enter the door is met with failure, until you finally discover that the door is really a panel, not an entry way, which houses 2 buttons. The problem is that so many things in the game are poorly described or illogical.įor example, opening a small door (and having a creature come out of it) suggests a way you can go. The game has a two word parser, and being an old game that's understandable. The writing here is pretty funny, such as the description when you fall down the seemingly bottomless hole, thinking about how far it can possibly go before you hit the bo-! Another Lifeless Planet and Me with No Beer.įirst of all, the planet is hardly lifeless, as one of the first things you'll see is an alien that kills you.
