Tube Trouble

Author:Richard Tucker
Genre:Slice of life
Released:1988
Review:

A tiny game set in a tube station (what Americans call a subway). Your goal is to get something to eat. Interestingly, most changes in game state are only indirectly reversible. There isn't much you can do in this game, and what can be done must be done. You'll either solve this one pretty quickly or become frustrated and then bored with it.

Rating: ***
