Serves Its Purpose: A Taste of Adams' Adventure Paradigm. Text Adventure for Newbies
This review is for the TRS-80 version

Play: 7/10 I mean, this is precisely Adventureland just only requiring 3 treasures for 100/100. Rubies, Ox, and Fruit. It's as fun, but way too short. After all, it's a sampler. This is great for any newbies to the text adventure genre, or to kids, or to anyone who just wants a quick playthrough of a text adventure.

Feel: 8/10 Almost too easy. I'm all about easy, and this serves its purpose as a sampler / demo very well. Love that it displays the 100/100, too.

Attachment: 6/10 I mean, I respect this game, and I'm ALLLL about easier or child-friendly forms of game--but still, doubt I will be back here often. Indeed, I believe I will satisfy this niche simply everytime I replay Adams' actual adventures.
