The Golden Wombat of Destiny

Author:Huw Collingbourne
Genre:Fantasy
Released:1989
Review:

A weird little game set in a lost city in the middle of a mangrove swamp. Has some engaging fauna and a few good puzzles based on non-local effects. Starts with a maze, but once you stumble across the exit, you can save the game and never have to deal with it again.

Rating: ***
