"This is a great adventure. I've been playing it on and off for a week and still haven't tired of it. It has a reasonable vocabulary, excellent graphics, and some exciting possibilities.
You start outside your rented cabin in Twin Kingdom Valley and your objective is to amass as much treasure as you can.
If this sounds depressingly familiar, don't be put off because the game is varied and original. Some situations demand that you forfeit whatever treasure you have collected, while others offer you interesting rewards in return for challenges undertaken.
At no point does this adventure degenerate into a mindless game of the "let's find yet another bag of gold" variety.
Every location has a picture and there are an impressive number of display options which can be changed at any time. Don't skip the graphics - they're excellent (some with animated sprites) and most draw in under 10 seconds, which makes them the fastest I've seen.
Other creatures come and go as you wander about. Elves are usually friendly and will give you whatever they have if you ask them for it. Others may refuse, or even attack you if you give them half a chance.
Your environment ranges from sandy beaches and deserts to caves and waterfalls. Twin Kingdom Valley is a big place and it's easy to get lost, so map-making is advisable.
This is a game that will appeal to novices and experienced adventurers alike. Highly recommended." - Personal Computer Games
