Apprentice

Author:Bert Lee
Genre:Fantasy
Released:1991
Review:

Fantasy with a slight mideastern flavor. To complete your apprenticeship and become a full Magician, all you have to do is reach the Guild Hall with the items given to you at the beginning of the game. Although this in itself is not trivial, there are several more tasks you can perform along the way to increase your status in the Guild: perform magic, recover artifacts, etc. Lots of plot branching and multiple solutions. Suffers from a deadly bottleneck at the very start, plus of course the usual AGT ills.

Rating: ***
