Praser 5

Alternate Titles:Fifth Praser Maze
Author:Andrew Plotkin
Genre:Surreal
Released:1989
Review:

A plotless riddle-game in an abstract environment peppered with mythical beasts, inspired by The Fool's Errand. Very tough; most people who attempt this will not complete it. This game was originally implemented as a series of files on an academic file server in the days before the Web. As such, it uses a simplified system of one-word commands (filenames from the original system) rather than the usual Inform parser.
