A Mind Forever Voyaging

(Infocom, 1985, Apple][e)


One of the Deepest of Deep-Impacts (ie, highest of high ratings), this was IMHO one of the last of the best text-adventures. It even made Techtite's listing of Top 50 Best Multimedia Classics. The Story: Perry Simm has just discovered he's really PRISM, a breakthrough in AI technology that is being used to foresee the not-so-distant economic future. Soon, PRISM unearths an underhanded plot by greedy politicians, which will corrupt the entire country unless he can stop it...somehow. A fantastic finale and the ability to traverse a whole city, enhances this great game.

Other Infocom game reviews of interest: Trinity, Zork.
