Yes, Another Game with a Dragon!

Alternate Titles:YAGWAD
Author:John Kean
Genres:Fantasy>Cave crawl
Humor>Satire
Released:2000
Review:

An entertaining little romp that's sometimes straight fantasy and sometimes more akin to parody of fantasy, as indicated by the name (which adverts to the r*if community's well-aired dislike for games involving dragons). A few of the puzzles are a bit obscure, but most are both challenging and reasonable, and there's substantially more plot than the typical canonical fantasy game offers. Funny and well-written.

Rating: ****
