I just received the latest issue of MacWarehouse. In the Games
section, they have a couple games marked "NEW!" that I haven't seen
before and look somewhat interesting. The two games of interest are:
"Arthur: The Quest for Excalibur" by Infocom
"Starflight" by Electronic Arts
Could someone who has one or both of these games give me their opinion
of the game's worth? Is it too easy to solve, too impossible, or just
right? Is the interface so obviously ported from the PC as to drive
one totally insane? Was it fun, or serious strategy? Did it make
sense enough to reason out how and why things responded like they did,
or did you just have to muck around randomly to get anywhere?
Thanks in advance for the advice. Neither games are covered under the
30-day guarantee, and I'd like to have some idea of the game before I
decide to spend my money. Send mail and I can summarize to the group.
