- Save Princeton, a text-adventure game created with TADS, has been
- uploaded to Sumex-aim. It has fifty-two locations, and a vocabulary of
- about 980 words, which makes it about as complex as a middle-period
- Infocom game. I've put a year and a half of work into it, and I'm pretty
- proud of the thing.
-
- The game puts the player in the role of a visitor to Princeton
- University. You have to oust a mysterious force of invaders who have
- taken over the campus. Along the way, you'll meet the archetypal jock, a
- naked drunk man, the president of the university, and countless other
- colorful characters. While folks who know Princeton U will undoubtably
- get special enjoyment from the game, anybody can solve and enjoy Save
- Princeton.
-
- Save Princeton is shareware, with a fee of $10.
-
- Try it out, and let me know what you think!
