Reviews for The Drinker (#19189)

Review by Stack on 26 Jan 2015 (Rating: 2)

One in the great tradition of Spectrum Games that celebrates inebriation.

Subject is inspired by Tapper, gameplay by Travel with Trashman. Somehow an Italian fictional hero called Alan Bond, famous in the authors homeland (once known as Yugoslavia) is also involved but the reference passes me by.

Not a terrible game. Clear the place up whilst avoiding the cowboy waiters. Don't understand the balloon. Don't miss the beer, you'll die without it. Odd keys, RFOP. A Aborts. At the yellow demand press T for Terminal Onslaught and L for Less Bother.

This game inspires me to celebrate the archive. A 1985 programming competition entry has somehow been preserved and labelled...

A fun but unusual idea. It's basically as Stack described, Tapper meets Travel with Trashman.
