#247 - Amateur Alley by John Nelson
Reviewed by Tom Zuchowski
MAIN PGM Version: 8.0 (Frank’s 6.0/7.1 cross) Extra Commands: PLAY Deleted Commands: None Special Features: None Playing Time: 30 minutes Reviewer Rating: 4.0
Description: In a nutshell, a crazy old man tells you there is treasure to be had in "the Alley." You decide to go see.
Comment: This was the "Beginners Cave" of John Nelson’s aborted KnightQuest gaming system. It is very easy and very simple. You just wander around and take everything you can pick up. Combat is easy, too. It appears possible that Frank’s conversion to Eamon may have stripped off the secret passages and made them normal passages, but it hardly affected the playability in any way.
It distinguishes itself among the various beginner offerings in that the alley is a very icky place, with garbage and derelicts everywhere you go. Yuck.
Difficulty of (2).
