Shades - written by Phil Craven using ADLAN - is not exactly an adventure, more a look around the world of Shades, which is a Multiuser Game (MUG) only accessible via a modem. Unfortunately, it is not a very good example of a MUG as the location descriptions are nearly all one line (with no exits mentioned so you have to experiment typing N, E etc at each location), there are no mobiles and no NPC's. Even adding atmospheric messages such as ‘Ludwig has entered the game' or 'Lorry appears in a flash of smoke' would add something. Phil will be adding to Shades so hopefully some of these recommendations will be implemented. |
