Not bad at all: professionally coded, fast, good parser, complex enough to require more than a casual effort. It's a bit light on puzzles and there's the odd vocabulary stretch, but overall this is a decent adventure, and deserves to be better known. Tries to capture the Level 9 style, but not quite manages. The solution given has a couple of typos and the important ommission of a TIE ROPE just before the GO THROUGH THE MIRROR command.
