Poor Zefron's Almanac

Author:Carl Klutzke
Genres:Fantasy
Science Fiction
Released:1997
Review:

A silly genre-bending romp that starts out as fantasy and ends up as science fiction. You're a wizard's apprentice, but the wizard has disappeared, and now it seems that a dragon is attacking the town. Very funny in parts, but the game itself is uneven--a tight inventory limit that complicates things, some random death, some strange NPC behavior. Still, the whimsy factor makes this one worth playing.

Rating: ****
