Quest for the Holy Joystick

Authors:Fergus McNeill and Jason Somerville
Artist:Mad Mac
Publishers:Delta 4, Zenobi Software
Genre:Humor>Satire
Released:1984
License:Former commercial
Review:

A satirical exploration of the mid-80's British adventure game scene, with scenes set at the offices of various game companies as well as inside their games. Minimalist, with only a few interactive objects - the real point of the thing is to wander around and chuckle at the jokes in the room descriptions. Unfortunately, you probably won't get a lot of them unless you're British and were into adventure games in the mid 80's. Features occasional stroked-in illustrations.

Rating: **
