================================================
Review: Grandad and the Quest for the Holey Vest
================================================
Everybody's heard of this, everybody knows it's good, but
I wonder how many of you have got it. We're going to review
it, to tell you just how brilliant this game, from Ian
Scott, is.
Grandad has gone and lost his vest. He wakes up in the hall
one morning to find all the doors locked, except one, and
his string vest missing. It's a very chilly morning, so
Grandad needs to find it or he'll die of hypothermia.
Anyway, you have to help Grandad find it by solving loads of
puzzles and talking to some other people like Lucy Lastic
and The Kid from Next Door! Some puzzles are hard, some
puzzles are OK and some puzzles are easy. The game starts
off very easy and progresses to being very hard, at some
points where you have to look up some words in a dictionary.
There are also several clues to help you - these can be
found in odd places like books or on doors.
The graphics in this game are nothing but brilliant. The
detail that has gone in them is immense - when Grandad moves
into the distance, him and his wheelchair (yes - he's in a
wheelchair) get smaller, and when he comes towards you he
gets closer. There's even a GB sticker on the back of his
wheelchair! There are no sounds in the game; the odd little
tinkle of music and a pinging noise when you select
something, but nothing else. Really, the gameplay and
addictiveness makes up for this. Grandad is really a truly
brilliant game. If I were you, I'd order it from us straight
away.
Before I go, I must remember to tell you that Grandad and
the Quest for the Holey Vest is Shareware. To go into the
cellar you require a code which is available for £5 from Ian
Scott. It really is worth registering; without the code you
can't go any further. So go on - order it and register at
the same time. You won't be disappointed!
