Game description:
King George's daughter Priscilla has been kidnapped by an evil wizard named Harlin, who holds her in his castle. The King offers half of his kingdom to anyone who would venture into the faraway mountain land, enter the castle, defeat Harlin, and bring back the princess. Only one adventurer is brave enough to accept this challenge.
The Wizard and the Princess is a text adventure with graphics. The game's environments are composed of still shots viewed from first-person perspective. The player types combinations of verbs and objects to interact with the game world, move between locations, solve puzzles, and advance the story.
What I think:
While it is not a bad game, the beginning may let you think otherwise.
The desert is repetitive, boring and it is really easy to get lost there.
It gets somewhat better late on though...
Oh well, if you use artifacting the yellow is at least not as bright as in Hi-Res Adventure #0.
