For this particular part of the task set I had to review four different interactive fiction games. The games I choose were as follows
Game 1 BUSTED
Basically the purpose of this game is for the user thats me to find and destroy four pieces of incriminating evidence. You basically have a mission that is extremely long to complete. In this game you have to have your wits about you at all times. There is so much involved in completing this game. Unfortunately fifteen minutes was not long for me to do so, so I cheated and got notes of the internet on how to solve the puzzle. This game was definitely more complex than what I first anticipated but because of its complexity I found it interesting and would definitely recommend it to someone who has a lot of time and patience on their hands.
Game 2 MURDER AT THE AERO CLUB
Within this game you are basically a detective investigating a murder at a nite- club called the aero. The main purpose of this game is to solve the murder that has occurred at the club. There are a lot of things to examine in order to determine how the murder has taken place. Basically in order to complete the game your purpose is to look at the evidence, put all the pieces together and frame the correct person or persons for the murder. This is an interesting mystery game and does prove quite challenging but when and if you complete it you will have a sense of victory and may even take up a job as a future detective!!!
Game 3 A WALKTHROUGH TO FILM AT 11
Within this game you are a journalist who has just started working with a news company and have been assigned your first report to complete. You act throughout as that of an investigative journalist asking people about the going ons of the city mayor and how is corrupt by taking bribes that affect the city. This is a breaking story and once completed it reflect the work a journalist is expected to do in order to complete there job for a leading news company. This game is extremely long and does take a lot of thought and at times can prove to be very frustrating.
Game 4 SO FAR
This story basically comprises of you at the theatre watching a play. It consists of a lot of information but the basic plot involves you interacting with a play that is taking place within the theatre it is interesting because there is so much for you to do. I enjoyed doing this game as it reflected some childhood memories. But at times it was long and frustrating to play and understand.
