Retro Replay Review

Gameplay

Read the description of the room.

Type an action at the prompt.

Try another response when the parser rejects the idea.

Graphics

Green text on black presents the dungeon through words, with little need for a conventional illustrated playfield.

Story

The player starts inside a dungeon.

Leaving it is the immediate goal.

The situation grows from the Strong Bad email about video games.

Overall Experience

A rejected command is part of the humor.

The compact setting invites another attempt at the right wording.

This is the first game, distinct from its later sequels.
