About the Story

"welcome to a new world.....
....a surreal world

> You are standing on a weather-worn cliff top over looking a pale blue lake.The lake is de-oxygenated giving it it's pale blue colour. All around you tall mountains rise from the ground giving a picturesque view. Wind tossed soil covers the ground where trees grow giving a deep and healthy colour. Leading away from the cliff are two well travelled paths; one leading to the east and the other to the west.

[Note: This is GAGS, the predecessor to AGT. As far as we know, Magx won't play GAGS games, so it'll be DOS only.]" [--blurb from Competition Aught-One]

>VERBOSE -- Paul O'Brian's Interactive Fiction Page

There is promise in a game like Surreal, but it's a promise largely unfulfilled. My advice to the author is to learn a high-level IF language (it's not that hard, really!), review basic grammar, employ proofreaders and beta testers... and write again!
