Intercept

Author:Michael D. Wile
Genre:Espionage
Released:1981
Review:

Horrible. One of the fussiest parsers I've ever seen - I defy anyone to figure out, without cheating, the words needed to drive the car. This alone makes it virtually unsolvable, but even where the phrasing is obvious, the required actions frequently lack any motivation. The story: You're a spy. You have to recover the Secret Formula. Split window, two-word parser, saves only to drive A (but this can be circumvented by the MS-DOS SUBST or ASSIGN command.)
