In which I play "Slime" published in 1982 by Synapse Software and written by Steve Hales. I'm glad I scanned through the manual before I played this one, as I might have given up on it as too confusing.
There's a lot going on in this game, but it definitely has the feel that there are skills that can be improved and mastered. That's something I really appreciate in a game, and also something that many, if not most, don't have.
This is a fun game that I recommend. Watch the video for tips on how to play and what is happening in the game!
