Not much to recommend itself, March 21, 2021by Victor Gijsbers (The Netherlands) Nerd Quest ended up placing 33rd out of 35 in the 2008 IF Competition, which means that it is least better than The Absolute Worst IF Game in History, though this is, one supposes, a rather low bar to clear. Gabor de Mooij's game is written in a self-developed Java-based interactive fiction system. This means playing the piece is a bit of a hassle, since one must first install java. (I recommend getting the game files from the IF Comp 2008 installer or zip file, since this gives us all the files we need together in the right directory structure.) Was this review helpful to you?

- DJ (Olalla, Washington), May 9, 2013 Baf's GuideA thoughtful piece thoroughly discussing the prevalence of family values over professional obligations... Seriously, though, it's just a rather unambitious get-out-of-the-locked-room game. The parser takes you back to the pre-Infocom era, and so do the puzzles. There is no saving/restoring in this game; fortunately, it's pretty short, and seemingly can't be put into an unwinnable state. - perching path (near Philadelphia, PA, US), November 15, 2008 - Juhana, November 14, 2008 - Otto (France), November 10, 2008 7 of
