This one is a very professionally presented text
adventure that many will find quite hard to solve. The modern day story
finds you on Christmas Eve without having done any of your Christmas
shopping (the lead character is obviously a man!) and you must get down
to the local shopping mall before it closes, get the presents and get
back home in time to placate your spouse. Might sound easy but there are
lots of problems on the way including the nightmare of trying to park at
the mall along with the hundreds of other guys who are all doing the
same thing! Once you get into the Mall you need to buy eight specific
items out of the hundreds available and you must buy them in a
particular order! The author warns that there are one or two words not
suitable for children and that some aspects of Christmas are portrayed
in a cynical light, so you have been warned! Sounds intriguing though,
doesn't it?
