1-6 of 6 >INVENTORY - Paul O'Brian writes about interactive fiction Right about the time that Poor Zefron's Almanac (hereafter called PZA) starts feeling like another humdrum sword-and-sorcery game, it executes a nice surprising twist. To say too much more would be to give the game away, but the fact that the author bills PZA as "an interactive cross-genre romp" is a clue toward its direction. This twist made the game refreshing and fun again, especially after the frustration it caused me when I began playing it...

A fantasy/sci-fi blend with polymorphing, February 14, 2016by MathBrush In this game from an early IFComp, you have to earn the right to become a journeyman wizard when a fearsome dragon appears and attacks the town. Was this review helpful to you? Yes No Remove vote | Add a comment
- Walter Sandsquish, February 2, 2011 - Audiart (Davis, CA), January 8, 2009 Baf's GuideA silly genre-bending romp that starts out as fantasy and ends up as science fiction. You're a wizard's apprentice, but the wizard has disappeared, and now it seems that a dragon is attacking the town. Very funny in parts, but the game itself is uneven--a tight inventory limit that complicates things, some random death, some strange NPC behavior. Still, the whimsy factor makes this one worth playing. -- Duncan Stevens
