There are no puzzles, the idea is mainly to wander about in an > interactive environment and have fun." Well, "wander" was certainly there, > but "fun" wasn't, at least not for me.

I have no doubt that creating this simulation was pretty > exciting for the author, but without that connection to the subject > material, other players are going to be bored. > > ANH taught its author how to use Inform -- I look forward to when he applies > that knowledge to the creation of a game.
