Maybe I' m being too picky, but I discovered that the more I liked a game, the more the little things bothered me. At any rate, an excellent game. You are an apprentice wizard. Your master has disappeared and a dragon is attacking the town. This one was fun.
Nothing is quite what it seems at the start.
The plot borders on the absurd without degenerating into silliness. The space drive is a piece of genius worthy of Douglas Adams, and the identity of the King had me laughing out loud. I think I set it to 11. Mention has to be made of the Almanac of the title, a combination spellbook, diary, information source, in-game hint system, walkthru and general source of wierdness. Yes, it's a basic easter egg hunt, but well implemented with humor.
