One game that NO-ONE can afford to miss playing at least once in their lives...
No, this isn’t another post in a vain attempt to get someone (anyone?) to play their time on my tragic misbegotten spew...
This is 'a bona-fide classic'...
Features Include;
ABSOUTLY NO GRAPHICS - TEXT ONLY GAMEPLAY
NO SOUND WHATSOVER
MANY FRUSTRATING PUZZLES
But also...
legendary game play
Possibly the only genuinely FUNNY computer game written EVER!
No more will you have to force laughter at half baked second rate gags in a vain attempt to force yourself to believe the latest 'comedy' title does contain some legitimate humour...
Where can this legendary title, shrouded within the mists of legend be found? ...

For some reason I suspect text adventures would be one of the best games to play if you have a little smoke during the day??
Still what with HHGTTG and a load of old 'Magnetic Scrolls' adventures from Underdogs, I'd better get rolling! :P
