Not being a veryexperienced adventurer I started to explore the world of the greedy dwarf very warily. This game has done nothing but turn me even more against adventure games. You have the task of recovering three of King Ardanga's finest jewels which have just been stolen. The setting is a reasonable place, but what possesses the King to have mazes in his cellar beats me. The jewels in question did not steal themselves, but a 'greedy dwarf' named Arfa did and the King is seeking vengeance on this creature. Unable to resist the wealth that you will be rewarded, you set off after the jewels and Arfa's head. If you fail at your task, which you will, you must set out again. Also if you return back up to daylight without having completed the task, the king's guards kill you for cowardice.

You can type your commands in using full English only one verb can be used in each sentence. The game has a reasonably large vocabulary so finding a permitted word is not difficult. Greedy Dwarf has no graphical locations (at least none I found) which is a pity.

For keen adventurers, Greedy Dwarf would probably be the correct medicine for boredom.
