Multi Dimensional Thief
              (TGC version on SynTax Disk 724)

I liked the look of this game! I liked the way the controls worked
and I enjoyed the wry comments (up to a point!) which arose in
response to my actions and instructions. Alas, in four half hour
sessions I managed to score a total of zero points! On my very
last attempt I was so completely frustrated that I told the
program to go and procreate with itself and it insisted that I had
to promise not to swear again before it would let me continue
playing. Needless to say, I shut the machine down and there ended
all my future attempts with MDThief.

The world seems to be divided into two groups of people I believe.
Those who like frustrating Adventure games and who'll spend hour
after hour trying to work out exactly just how to pick up a pencil
or open a door (in the vain hope that there's something on the
other side!), and those who don't! I can only assume that the
former group are a rare breed of enthusiasts who have spent years
in deep contemplation mastering the riddles of Zen masters and the
meaning of life, or if they fancy a real challenge, will work
their way through a game such as MDThief. Me? My brain hurts! I
haven't the faintest idea how to make even the smallest head way
with this game!

I'm pretty certain that any number of the readers will delight in
this game, but I for one am off to bang my head against a wall.

Rating: U bend.

PS Okay I had to have just one last go, and after an hour I scored
the amazing total of six points. Embarrassingly poor according to
the computer. Okay, I've actually scored a point or two, I can
live happily ever after. The game is good, I have enjoyed it, but
it's not my kind of game. Now Red Dragon, now there's a game!
