Reviews for The Quest (#6853)

Review by p13z on 20 May 2013 (Rating: 2)

A very early (1982) text dungeons game. It plays black on white, with the standard font and is written in BASIC. It looks more like some of the less exciting ZX81 games than later Spectrum titles.
Generating the dungeon takes over two and a half minutes each time you start a game, a cruel trick to play on someone who has already waited for a game to load from tape.
'The Quest' is simple, but has a couple of nice touches. It evokes a nostalgia for the early days, when simple small games inspired huge imaginations. Beyond that, there is little point to playing this aged adventure in the 21st century.
