Software Adventure Games - Jacaranda Jim
Assault Trooper
Genre: Adventure Game
Production: by Graham Cluley
Publication date: 1990
Description:
"Following an attack on his cargo-ship by an army of homicidal beechwood armchairs Jacaranda Jim is forced to crash land on the strange world of Ibberspleen IV.
Rescued from the burning wreckage by the mysteriously smug Alan the Gribbley, Jim has to do battle with manic-depressive deckchair attendants, the Ibberspleen Post Office and a very sinister network of dank caves.
What is the secret of the floating sphere? Why has Alan been hypnotized? What would you do with a cucumber, a gin-spitting pirate and a piece of gristle? No, don't answer that.
British adventure game, recently updated.
Version 2.0 of JACARANDA JIM includes longer descriptions, an improved parser and more puzzles.
The puzzles towards the end of the game have been made significantly more challenging, with a greater degree of character interaction.
Although SAVE files from previous versions of JACARANDA JIM should mostly be compatible, the author suggests that for a greater appreciation of this new version they are not used."
