Play: 7/10
Pretty sparse descriptions, but surprisingly effective/functional. 
Ohhhh, 2 -word parsers heh. After all this was originally released for the ZX81, tho I played the soon-after Spectrum 48k version. Some of the puzzles were kinda nonsensical, but for the most part they were solvable, straightforward, and relatively fun. Not as exciting as Adventure C: Ship of Doom, but a good-quality text adventure. Oh, I do like when potential deaths are preventable by actions rather than mere RNG, but still didn't feel as fun preventing the deaths as in some other text adventures.
Feel: 7/10 I always like Ice Cavern settings (tho there really was no description beyond "Ice Cavern" lol). Oh and I like Quiet Cavern heh. Sure is a lot of slime in the game. In the end, just felt kinda underwhelming tho. And some of the puzzles and ideas were tacky. Not a bad text adventure, but kinda bland--especially compared to some of the later Artic Adventure games! Oh, and boo to no 100/100 Score/treasure-tracking aspect! Made my 100% completion feel meh, heh.
Attachment: 6/10 Good game, but not one of the main text adventures I will be returning to!
