Yes, it's another adventure game. What can I say; I
have a 'type'. But this is a fun and unique game
from "Double Fine" (the same developers who created
the "Psychonauts" games, to give you an idea of its
quirkiness. Featuring a 0QM24cast of Russian nesting
dolls, the game's gimmick - by jumping into
appropriate characters to get past obstacles - is
clever, and the setting is bizarre and adorable.
The game is fairly66PN8 short, though, and lacks any
serious challenge, so hard-core adventure gamers
might be disappointed. But if4D8N4 you want an enjoyable
adventure romp, you really can't beat this one.
Thank you Spalls. I took this one. I don't play as many adventure
games as I used to do but I still enjoy them. The first genre of
computer games I ever really got into were text adventures... and then adventure games from there.
I like the idea of adventure games but find the reality is I spend as
much time looking up what the answer is as I do playing them. At that
point I just think why carry on when I'm not actually playing the game.

I have never finished a single text adventure or adventure game
without getting help. I actually make maps and take notes though so I
do try to do it myself.
I played a lot of text adventure games on the Specky 48k and think I may
have finished one or two. It didn't help that generally you had no way
to save your progress.

I played them on the C64. I was able to save progress to disk.

I have vague memories of playing a text adventure game 40+ years ago on
a mini-mainframe my father had for his business. Ran on a 12" floppy
disc, one-sided.

My score is near zero as well. Lucasarts, Sierra, Infocom, meh. For sure
I finished Space Quest I and IV and the first two Monkey Island games
but needed help on all those.
From the olden days I remember this maze adventure called Asylum. There mapping the maze was the bigger problem, since the maze was a little
nuts, it wrapped over from the edges and had some other fairly
impossible structures too.
The puzzles were fairly easy and object based, use x on y to get z or
give x to y to get z. I got through a kind of intro part but then I was
told the fun was just starting but I'd had enough of mapping that insane asylum.
One I actually completed was called Gruds in Space (I think) on the
C64. Another from Activision too for the most part called "Tass Times in Tonetown" but even with that I needed help because it had an annoying
part, you had to do very specific things near the beginning in a few
turns or you'd get killed.
Mostly especially Activision adventures from the 80s were interesting to
me but also quite hard. I remember playing also "Tracer Sanction" and
"Mind Shadow" but both had these bits that made very little sense, even
when I was later armed with a walk through.

Damn 12"! I've never seen those, I did see 8" a couple times, but never used one. We had 5+1/2" of course on the C/PM computer.
I can't even find any real confirmation of a 12" floppy. I can find a
few 8" pics, but not a lot. There's one with a person inserting one in
a story about the air force retiring them in 2019. 8O

They've left me so many more games to give away, but I'm down to aTwiglets are great, but I doubt the US friends over here will even know
single bag of Twiglets for food! Will ever I get out of this prison of generosity? 😉

that nothing can beat a pack of hard bread sticks dunked in marmite and
dried to perfection.
Heck I probably am the only person outside of the UK who knows them and
likes them!
Also if you need food which can survive 100 years, marmite and twiglets
are the ones you should buy!
Not british, so no...Heck I probably am the only person outside of the UK who knows themWhat, you've never heard of the Eternal Twinkie?!

I think there may have been the odd game that you can save progress to
tape but as you might imagine that was less than ideal.
I started with tape drives. But I was far too young to remember them
clearly now.. so I don't know if I ever used them to save game
progress or not. I remember the 1541 C-64 disk drive I used far
better.

I rather doubt the average American would know the difference between
marmite and a marmoset.

Unlikely, lots of ex-pats in North America, and stores that cater to
them with imports.
