That, and Hunchback The Adventure are eyebrow-raising anomalies in Ocean's output, because they're the only text adventures put out by Ocean. A label that's really not known for delving into that genre!Van_Dammesque wrote: ↑Sun Jan 14, 2024 11:46 am Neverending Story, The by Ocean

They never continued with them, hence the lack of Robocop - The Adventure or Batman - The Adventure.

I'll be contrary, but I ended up really enjoying Zip Zap.
Alchemist was also fun, but too short.
