ERIC THE UNREADY _______________________________________________(by Bob Bates)
"In contrast to the heady Time Quest, Bob Bates lets loose his lighter side in
this
side-splitting medieval adventure starring the incredibly accident-prone
knight
Eric the Unready. Just about every famous person, things, or fiction is at
the
mercy of his razor-sharp parody pen in this game, from Star Trek to the The
Monty
Pythons.
One of the (many) great things that make playing Eric The Unready a blast is the
tremendous *variety* the game offers, both in locations and types of puzzles. The
game is loosely divided into "day," each of which is marked by hilarious cut-
scenes and parody newspaper that recaps Eric's misadventures in the previous day
and pokes fun at more people and objects than you can shake a stick at. The
objects, locations, and puzzles in each day are self-contained, and as a mark of
superior game design similar to LucasArts games, you can neither die in this game
nor find yourself at a dead end where restoring is necessary. Puzzles are devious
but fair, with some taking on a different gameplay interface (e.g. the raft
navigation screen in Star Trek spoof section) that are anything but boring. You'll
be laughing from the start to the finish as you help Eric along one misadventure
after another. Two thumbs up!" (Home Of The Underdogs)
