Good game, high

The game is good, even if quite old. Lots of back-in-the-day humour. Nice graphical-parse interface, that give that oldest feel, while still make the whole experience much more interesting. Surprised it launched without a discount....

Goofy and endearing

I played this game back in the day. for a text adventure game it was extremely hard to figure out, and I never beat it. but only because my computer died before i could finish it. there are thousands of jokes in this game. this is not a serious title at all, and is extremely cheesy. You will at least enjoy all the puns if nothing else.

Timeless Classic

Eric the Unready plays (and replays) nearly as well as it did when I was only a wee lad playing my dad's inappropriate shareware from Some Random BBS

Amusing game

Largely text, but with some graphics. Very funny, with a lot of references and goofy humor.
