Are you ready for a quest? An adventure quest? Then maybe you should try Adventure Quest. Or maybe this game cunningly entitled Quest Adventure.
It's got a high rating from those good people at Wos and who am I to argue with them? I'll tell you who I am, I'm the person writing this review so there! And I say this game is average at best. Was it good in 1983? I don't know. It's certainly a bit clunky now. The graphics take a while to draw. Not too long, but long enough, particularly when they're not very good! If you go west from the start, you're told "there's something solid here". Very useful, eh? Examining does no good here. Despite not being mentioned in the text what you have to do is take the lamp and turn it on. Then you can see what's in the hut! Intuitive is not the word. Really it's not. I tried to pay the dwarf by the bridge as instructed but when I tried to "give coin" I was told it did not understand the word "give"! I then typed "pay dwarf" which worked but was then told "I don't know why you typed dwarf"! I was also attacked and killed by an ogre that wasn't even mentioned in the text. "Do you want me to ressurect you?" I was asked.
No thanks, I think I'm better off dead.
