Mountains of Ket

Part of Ket trilogy

Author:R. A. McCormack
Publisher:Incentive Software
Genre:Fantasy>Cave crawl
Released:1984
License:Former commercial
Review:

A decent specimen of the 1980's dungeon crawl. The objective is to cross under a mountain range, but collecting treasures gives extra points. Two-word parser with a small vocabulary and no EXAMINE command. Randomized combat that's usually but not always avoidable. Ample opportunity to render the game unwinnable. Consulting the room-based HELP text is essential to solving some puzzles.

Rating: **
