THE OPPRESSED LAND
Mark Walker
Zenobi Software
This is a pleasant game with only a few lapses in logical
descriptions (e.g. why should the stone be helpful? How do
you know there is a lock to pick?). Some things happen with
no purpose. There are several dead ends which require
replaying from a saved position and several unnecessary
objects. You can carry up to 8 objects which is very helpful.
There are a few unmarked exits.
