The game's atmosphere lies in the large, sprawling map of the two valleys, and the underground. There are many NPCs that move and act independently. In fact, the first time I played I didn't find an important object because some NPC got it first. Some puzzles are quite arbitrary, and I remember poring over computer mags in search for hints.
I remember playing this game in the eighties on my C64... At the time I thought it was really cool. In retrospect, it was a good game, and it was fun to map it all out, but it would look naive for today's standards.
I'm still enthralled by this game, but I think you might have to have played it in the early 1980s to appreciate it in the 21st century. Technically speaking, it's incredible to see what was achieved in just 32k of RAM (the Commodore 64 version was a port): a remarkably large map, an assortment of wandering NPCs with some degree of AI, and coloured pictures for most of the locations. But that's hardly the point - at least for those who were there at the time.

Games part of an unfinished series by Jonathan Blask
I think it is both funny and interesting when games bill themselves as "Part # in the [blank] series" (and other games are never written). It is fun to speculate what directions those future games may have gone. This poll is a memorial...
