  Baggett's WorldClass library instead of ADV.T. [blurb from The (Other) TADS
  Games List version 1.2]

EDITORIAL REVIEWS

  > MIT inhabitants probably would split their sides laughing when playing it;
  > non-insider surely would find their funny moments there (for me, one of
  > those moments was the "suicidal robot"), but the overall effect naturally
  > would be much weaker. Still, the setting is quite rich (especially for a
  > puzzle-fest), though not the deepest one. By the way, the game comes with a
  > number of "feelies" -- materials from the original competition distribution,
  > and a text file explaining some of the MIT-specific things. It'd be
  > advisable to read them, as well. -- Valentine Kopteltsev
