Alchemist's Gold - Review

In this game you are going to steal gold from an alchemist. This is a fun little game which experienced players can probably beat in less than an hour. It was written with PunyInform so I decided to play it with a C64-emulator (VICE) using the Ozmoo interpreter.
(I always set the emulator to warp-speed and disable sound and direct-x so it runs at about 4000% speed which gives instant responses when playing PunyInform games)

Parser/Vocabulary (Rating: 8/10)

There were responses to most commands and the parser was nudging me in the right direction if I should rephrase a command.

Atmosphere (Rating: 8/10)

Nice writing (not too brief, not too verbose) and a nice setting gives a fine atmosphere.

Cruelty (Rating: Tough)

The game can become unwinnable it seems but you are more or less told when it happens so you can load an earlier save.

Puzzles (Rating: 7/10)

For experienced players this is an easy game. The map you find in the game was quite original, whereas most of the other puzzles were more standard.

Overall (Rating: 7/10)

A short but entertaining game, though it is quite easy. And everything worked well with the Ozmoo interpreter including the ASCII-map.
