Another Quality Adams Adventure, But Nothing Special
This review is for the TRS-80 version

Play: 8/10 Another quality Adams text adventure with a quirky fun house twist. Still, like I've mentioned in other reviews, I regret having hoped text adventures would shake the Colossal Cave formula, because I'm learning I prefer it :-x I am a creature of habit, after all. I can't deny I found it disappointing when just trying to get the top secret plan instead of 100% of the treasure. Nevertheless, fun for a playthrough, or if you have a keen interest in fun houses.

Feel: 8/10 The setting is cute, and bouncing on the trampoline was a nice touch. A cute, to-the-point, clever text adventure--but not particularly striking or unique beyond its fun house references. Definitely worth a playthrough if you ever go through Adams text adventures.

Attachment: 7/10 Only if I'm being completionist with my series replay will I replay this. Not that it was bad, by any means, and I enjoyed playing it, but it doesn't make the cut to be a likely replay.
