Swiss Family Robinson

The Good
I have to say that I received a Commodore 128 for my birthday one year, and the Swiss Family Robinson was one of the first games that I had ever played. It opened the door to gaming for me back in the day, and I have been hooked since. Just seeing the screenshots now brings back so many memories. The gameplay is easy enough for the beginner, yet still offers challenges to the experienced gamer. Simple typed commands are all that is required, yet if I remember correctly there were some challenging puzzles.

"What is a Tiger steak anyway?" Who knows but evidently you can eat it!

The Bad
By today's standards it is slow, with the obviously slow loading times. It has forced me to use the cliche "back in the day" :) It reminds me how old I am now.

The Bottom Line
I would definitely recommend this game to anyone. If I had the chance to play it again, and show the kids how mom chopped up a tiger old school like....I would! For my fellow poster.........In order to get up on deck from below deck, I think you have to type in "go topside". Don't ask me how I remember that!
