Hey, look, pictures of writing!

Comments:

A text adventure based very closely to the plot of the movie. The idea is you read the description of your surrounding etc and then type what you want to do; go east, take item, and then the results are printed on screen. There are timed 'action' sequences where you must type the solution quickly to proceed. This, apparently, added excitement to the game when it was first released. One of the main problems is that there are few clues on how to solve some puzzles and the player is required to have a advanced knowledge of the film to proceed. It may have been fun in 1986 but how many of you get excited at the thought of a black screen with yellow writing with no pictures and no music?
