Introduction =============================================================================== Aztec Tomb is an adventure game that was made by Alligata Software in 1983. The aim is to find the entrance to an Aztec tomb. Along the way, you will need to escape a house, avoid an elephant, cross a river and explore an island trying to find the Aztec tomb. The main problem with the game is the badly designed parser which only accepts a few words. Oddly, you also need to look at a room before items in it appear, so without knowing this it is quite possible to miss some important items. The game lacks detailed room descriptions and there are many spelling mistakes, giving it a rushed feel. Aztec Tomb has too many faults to be good, although it is still a fairly entertaining adventure to play. =============================================================================== 2.
