This was a quite novel way to play an arcade/adventure with lots of windows opening to offer options to choose from, lots of description of items and characters, surreal humor included, various types of interaction with them [give object to, take object from], and various features and subtleties, for example the quantity and identity of items you can carry at a given time is correlated to their specific weight. The game expands on the previous Finders Keepers, by David Jones too [who's probably reading: hello], which was a platformer with a heavy swapping items element, and starred the same armoured guy, being the setting in a magic and a bit gonzo Middle Age, in an Ancient Time that is nonetheless less ancient than the Very Ancient Time. The problem is that your wizard friend has messed up a few magic spells and subsequently space-time dislocated various characters, including an alien, and so you have to take care of them and be sure to send them back unharmed to their original place and year. It feels bit a like a mix between Monty Python and Douglas Adams, so it's fairly intriguing. [and Scott Adams, being almost an adventure]. It's a good game. And it was a budget one too, wasn't it - one of the greatest value for money at the time. Pressing frantically the fire key so many times to go through all the menus to perform each action annoyed me a bit after a while, anyway.
And it's quite easy to die for exhaustion, so you must be careful in your movements. By the way, to me the knight walks like Charlie Brown but at Benny Hill speed. That's it, I'd say.
4/5
