The Mind Electric

Author:Jason Dyer
Genre:Science Fiction
Released:1995
Review:

Escape from cyberspace in this small game. An ambitious attempt at providing a virtual environment operating on logical rules that the player must figure out. Unfortunately, it makes a few too many assumptions about how the player will interperet the world; few puzzles are solvable without using the built-in hint menu to find out what the author was thinking. Full of time limits.

Rating: ****
