Yes, but since those games are just Sierra-style games with verbs and nouns you can pick from a list, it's still a derivative from IF (except this time the parser forces a limited subset of words you can choose from, in a very specific two-word combo). The "pick words from a list"-style adventure system was no better than Sierra's. What made Lucasarts games worth playing, thankfully, were the clever and engaging storylines and puzzles, which were good enough to force people through the awful interface. -- http://www.MobyGames.com/ The world's most comprehensive gaming database project. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- This message was sent to you because you are currently subscribed to the swcollect mailing list.
