Rod
Pike, who wrote Dracula, is a man with a liking
for chunky descriptions, and this latest game also shows
a considerable improvement in the quality of the puzzles.
Some of them are really quite easy to solve, but remain
logical nevertheless. What's more, the parser and vocabulary
seem to work well together and cope with more sensible
entries.
There
are some gruesome sound effects, together with some
even more gruesome digitised pictures of blood and guts,
as you sally forth into the mountains to do away with
Frankenstein. This monster of your own creation who
has murdered your sister and gone on to terrorise the
neighbourhood.
The
Wiz reckons that this game is marginally overpriced
-- £7.95 would have been a little nearer the cutting
edge -- but as a three-parter with some tricky problems,
it's about par for the course.
