Cave Adventure

Author:Russell Wallace
Genre:Fantasy>Cave crawl
Released:1988
Review:

A blatant imitation of Adventure - retrieve the treasures from the cave and store them in the wellhouse. Verb-noun parser, simple puzzles. Large, annoying maze. Outdoor section is likewise large and disorienting, but doesn't need to be mapped. Some death without warning. It's actually one of the nicer games of its type, if only because the command set is small and well-defined enough that the solutions follow naturally.

Rating: **
