"Deep within Vran's Temple you set forth on the Final Mission... can you outwit the wandering slime, the five gate guardians, or even Vran himself?" I was reminded of these words, from the cassette inlay, when I was devoured by the slime after scoring 36% in this adventure.

The Final Mission is the last adventure in the Ket trilogy. I had not seen the previous ones, so I was quite keen to get stuck into this one and give a good account of myself.

The excellent, initial hi-res screen leads one to believe that this is going to be a graphic adventure with lots of pretty pictures, but this is not the case. In the 36% of the game I saw, it was text only.

One excellent aspect of this tape is that it features power load, so it's not long before you are playing the game. The usual adventure commands are present and interpretation of human input is good. It's very user friendly in its attempts to understand you and it poses some interesting problems.

I must work out how to defeat the slime...
