Genie

Author:Stark Springs
Genre:Fantasy
Released:2002
Review:

In this mini-game (intended as the introduction to a much longer piece that's never been finished), you play a genie summoned by a not-very-imaginative master. The gameplay is fairly trivial, descriptions sparse, and the prose gives evidence that the author is not a native speaker of English. (His subsequent "Words of Power" does much better on all fronts, as well as being a complete game.)

Rating: ***
