KIDNAPPED (?) Inspired by an entry on the discussion board, I decided to have a go at this game. It's quite probably the easiest adventure game I've ever played. Hmm… of course, King's Ransom is even shorter, but this certainly comes in a close second. The plot is non-existant but revolves around a simple setup which has you locked on the 9th floor of a building. You have to make your way down to the ground floor. All floors have to be solved seperately.
