I'm not sure how representative a quick blast of each was, but I'm going for Plagues. Better interface and a slightly more interesting theme. It's an odd one - Mike Young has two games to his name, six years apart. I wonder if he has an attic full of never seen projects.

The best person to judge is probably @equinox, who I see did both complete RZXs!

This bit made me chuckle:

I see nothing special

Sign of the times I suppose...

The current date on ZXDB for The Plagues of Egypt is incorrect. It's at least as early as 1989, as it was reviewed in the August 1989 issue of Adventure Probe. Plagues is a much bigger (two part) adventure written with the PAW, rather than the Quill as used in Noah.

Sadly ironic that Noah didn't even get a pair of votes.
And after he was expecting a flood.
Never mind, let's hope he can take that on board, and move on.
