Secrets Of Master Mole

Previous Next

The only time I ever got sent home from school was when I was twelve. That'll teach me to wear one black show and one brown.

Adrian Mole's protest was, of course, about the wearing of red socks, and then he did have the lovely Pandora to help him out. If you haven't yet read about Adrian Mole's adventures by Sue Townsend then you've definitely missed out. Level 9 has crammed the contents of the book into several large datafiles to help you experience Master Mole's adventures.

But I wouldn't go so far as to call this an adventure game. It's a sort of multiple choice question affair, where you are presented with three options and choose what you feel is the correct answer. After accepting your advice, Adrian will trundle off and do as you have suggested. Of course, if you answer incorrectly he soon gets back on the right track. There are some graphics with the game - well, call them illustrations as they are static; but they do brighten up the screen somewhat.

While the idea seems a good one, the amusement factor soon wears off, and I'd not be inclined to play it again.

If you haven't read the book, then do so right away - but don't buy the game.
