Town Dragon

Author:David Cornelson
Genres:Fantasy>Cave crawl
Fantasy
Released:1997
Review:

Well-intentioned fantasy quest with some interesting plot twists, but also lots of bugs and unfortunate game design choices. A dragon has stolen the princess away, and you're among the young swains who are asked to get her back; along the way, you accumulate some treasure. The puzzles are extremely difficult (at least, it's hard to guess what you're expected to do); the STORY file included with the game will explain what's going on, and there's also a walkthrough included within the game file. Minimalist writing.

Rating: ***
