A text-based game for the whole family!
This is without a shadow of a doubt the best text-based adventure game based on Princeton University that I have ever ever played.
Initially I was a little worried that it may stick too closely to the actual layout of Princeton University causing creative restrictions but luckily Jacob Weinstein has had the foresight to move some of the areas and tease the university's dimensions. This is most noticeable in the Dinky Station section where he has taken some license with a pathway.
The general theme of the game is that Princeton University is under attack from aliens and you using only your sly cunning and versatility can save it. You direct yourself through an incredible world mapped out by the creator collecting items, solving clues and racking your brain to avert disaster.
If you've ever watched the opening section of the film 'Big' and thought I'd like to play a game like that then this is the one for you. Another notable text-based adventure game is the 'Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy' one but frankly this one leaves it standing.
Excellent.
