Text adventure attempt 02 - December 2019

Post by Morkin »

Encouraged by my surprisingly successful first attempt to have a crack at a random text adventure, I thought I'd try it again this week.

This time the random pick is Moon Magic.

Apparently it was on a (fairly late) Crash cover tape, so I guess a few people may have played it before (but not me).

Anyway I had a quick go (without particularly getting anywhere), just a tester to make sure I didn't immediately get hungry, thirsty, tired, hot or cold, and all looks good so far.

If anyone wants to help & play along feel free. I guess it's night on impossible to discuss without some sort of spoilers about stuff in the game, but perhaps keep puzzle solutions in spoiler tags?

I wonder if that is the same Andy Remic who does the Spectrum Addict documentaries on Kickstarter? Probably... Remic is not a very common name in the UK.

Yes.
Thanks, I'm one of his regular backers. I wasn't aware he had been active on the scene for so long.

Thought the name sounded familiar. Am not really a Kickstarter person but that's a nice list of interview names.

So far have explored a few locations and not died... Hoping to have another go in earnest later this week...

I did play it a couple of days ago. Did a bit of wandering around on the moon and through some caverns, but was going to make a concerted effort and maybe even a map before posting progress...

It doesn't seem that good to me...

It's not bad, but also not particularly exciting so far.

After wandering around on the moon for a bit, I've managed to transport somewhere.

A fairly psychadelic-looking spaceport.

I was going to say the same.
Are you sure it's spacesport and not some disco? Or maybe it's really not about space trip but
another kind of trip? ;)
