Temple Of Vran (Incentive)

Temple Of Vran is a follow-up in the Ket Trilogy. It is a non-graphic adventure. After waiting for what seems hours for it to load, I was asked to wait yet again then told my scores (luck, stamina and prowess) before the game could be started. Break could restart the game to try and raise the scores. Having typed in your command, the program takes ages to respond, whereupon you are given another place description. If an object is present it tells you which one, and next to it is a U.D.G. picture of this object.

These objects may be taken or dropped. On various occasions animals, warts or monsters may be encountered. When these are fought, the game goes through a fighting routine. I have never been defeated - not even hit!

The game has a special score facility, and you can turn the keyboard beep on or off. The game may be saved at a certain point. A fair adventure but nothing more.
