About the Story

Sunburst Contamination was intentionally designed to resemble an old Scott Adams text adventure with its limitated parsing capabilities.

Off-Site Reviews

SPAG
Primitive but funny, and with fairly challenging and interesting puzzles
I'd say Sunburst Contamination isn't a game for everyone. It also doesn't fit into the procrustean bed of the SPAG scoreboard format; if the latter was applied to it, it probably would receive a much lower rating than I believe it deserves. Thus, let's just say -- if it participated in the IF-Comp, I'd rate Sunburst Contamination at least a six; its spoofing value probably is even higher.
