A Dudley Dilemma
| Author: | Lane Barrow | | Genre: | Collegiate | | Released: | 1988 | | Review: | A game set at Harvard, with an engagingly cartoony sense of exaggeration.
Contains a T. S. Eliot scene, two mazes, puzzles based on wordplay, puzzles
based on trivia, and a few special-purpose verbs you'll have to figure out
(like "borrow", a verb only applicable to books at a library.) Starts off
linear, but broadens a lot once you're past a certain point. The goal is
unclear until very near the end. The enhanced version contains background
music and occasional photographic illustrations.
