The parser was perhaps a bit more inflexible than I remembered, but otherwise I had little to complain. Most of the puzzles were logical, but a bit unimaginative. The highlight were the various zbafgref, which required some creative thinking; my favourite was the urqtrubt gung fubbg arrqyrf. The plot was understandable without the manual, but I'd really like to know whether it would explained some tiny bits that were left unclear.Ilmari Jauhiainenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01655841880034965950noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3387495443226852794.post-25344413860593335132013-12-27T06:35:02.474+11:002013-12-27T06:35:02.474+11:00Serqql Cunexnf, gur Sebagvre Cuneznpvfg!Serqql Cunexnf, gur Sebagvre Cuneznpvfg!Ilmari Jauhiainenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01655841880034965950noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3387495443226852794.post-39092032858391110682013-12-27T03:07:31.893+11:002013-12-27T03:07:31.893+11:00I have no idea. 29?

The worst part of the game is its dated look and interface that wants you to be in the exact spot to make the commands work. Both will probably drop its points in several categories. I don't think there was that much to hate about it otherwise, no significant bugs and no illogical puzzles. And there's fair amount of prose, inventory items had nice descriptions etc. I think I'll take my chances and bet the first score in forties: 42.Ilmari Jauhiainenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01655841880034965950noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3387495443226852794.post-9564853766962727532013-12-25T08:32:22.761+11:002013-12-25T08:32:22.761+11:00That description is from the back of the game box:...That description is from the back of the game box:<br /><br />http://www.elisoftware.org/index.php?title=File:18439-03883B.jpg<br /><br />I think that at certain place the game mentions that the game came with a map of your space shuttle.
