Synopsis

Plot

Parts one and two take place in a plague ridden town and subsequent journey on a ship, respectively.

Part three jettisons this altogether in favour of a retelling of Jabberwocky (!)

Part four starts as an underground adventure before returning to the town. Have you returned with the cure?

Notes

This four-part game was the only adventure ever created for the Forth-based UK computer Jupiter Ace.

Interesting and more ambitious than most same era 8-bit counterparts on micros, the only original text adventure for the Jupiter Ace is also a decent one, despite the limitations of the platform. I particularly appreciate the way it wraps up all four parts and gets back to the beginning with a coherent narrative. Requires patience, especially with Part 3.
