The Adventures of Alice who Went Through the Looking-Glass and Came Back Though Not Much Changed

Author:D. A. Asherman
Genres:Children's
Fantasy
Adaptation>Literary
Released:1986
Review:

A loose adaptation of Lewis Carroll's Alice books. Very limited command set, with a weird and inconsistent approach to world building. (Why, for example, should the White Queen be openable?) All puzzles consist of either unlocking things or killing GAGS-style monsters. Plot events are included in room descriptions. Some bugs. An excellent showcase of the inadequacies of the GAGS environment - if this won the 1986 contest, I shudder to think what the other entries were like.

Rating: **
