Review
This is regarded as one of the top ten modern interactive fiction text
adventures, largely due to it's prose, size, and complexity, and one of
the few games of it's time, made available simultaneously on the Amiga and
other platforms. You start off in the fictional Oxbridge Town of
Christminster, the first problem is to get past the gate and into the
college. This involves a complex problem requiring you to interact with
several NPC's (non player characters). Once inside you must try to find
your brother, and unravel a detective-like plot, with the help of several
university type characters.
