West
Type: Text only
Written 1984 by Alan Black.
Runs on:
Notes: It has some real-time elements. The original list price was
£19.95.
Comments: Quite neat adventure set in the wild west.
Package blurb: You are on the track of a notorious gang of bank robbers who
have gone to ground near an abandoned mining town deep in
Indian territory. Your task - to outwit and outgun the
robbers, collect as much loot as possible and piece together
clues on how to escape.
A demanding and exiting text adventure for the experienced
games-player, using over 200 words and as many phrases. There
are over 130 locations to search - not all of them easy to
find. Events happen in real-time outside your control -
Indians charge, rattle-snakes slither past and robbers appear
and shoot you. How long can you survive?
