Mysterious Fairground (Buffer Micro Limited)

Mysterious Fairground is an adventure set exactly where the title suggests, in a mysterious fairground. To win you must find the five items of treasure hidden within the fairground and afterwards escape alive.

Around every corner, another puzzle awaits to tax your brain and perils follow you in every twist and turn of your journey through the tunnels of love, ghost train and house of horrors.

To succeed you must be prepared to risk your life and experiment with situations in order to discover a solution. If the experiment fails and you die then it's back to square one, a little wiser however than before.

Mysterious Fairground has an extensive vocabulary and incorporates a large number of new and original situations to encounter. Instead of the usual castles, forests and blacksmiths forges, here you will encounter ghost trains, a tunnel of love, a hall of mirrors and many more.

To gain a one hundred percent score you must combat all opposition correctly, collect each of the five treasures and complete the game by escaping safely. An exciting game with many taxing challenges but unfortunately once you have mastered this adventure you will quickly lose interest for the situations you find yourself in become familiar and easy to conquer. A good game however and worthy of any adventure collector's library.
