Wombat - QuickSeek Encyclopedia Its primary defence is its toughened rear hide with most of the posterior made of cartilage which, combined with its lack of a meaningful tail, presents a difficult-to-bite target to any enemy who follows the wombat into its tunnel. When attacked, they can summon immense reserves of strength — one defence of a wombat against a predator (such as a Dingo) underground is to crush it against the roof of the tunnel until it stops breathing. This is particularly remarkable because — unlike other fast animals — wombats walk and run on full feet. encyclopedia.quickseek.com /index.php/Wombat   (1250 words)

Golden Wombat of Destiny review For a homemade parser, Golden Wombat's is fairly effective--full sentences are handled well (though not pronouns or undo, irritatingly), and there are no disambiguation problems that I encountered. The swamp serves as a maze of sorts, not at all a highlight; as you have no objects to map with, the approach of choice seems to be wandering around randomly. It seems you're looking for a lost city in the middle of a mangrove swamp, drawn on by vague talk of a mighty civilization destroyed by a plague, a nameless horror, wonderful treasures, and a Book of Knowledge. members.cox.net /dns361/wombat.html   (709 words)

Golden Wombat of Destiny review Golden Wombat of Destiny is obviously nothing like any IF produced recently; it's very much a product of the early days of freeware and shareware, when home-brewed parsers were common and cooperation among authors to develop and test games was sporadic (at least, as compared to today). The IF Archive is filled with no end of strange stuff, and Golden Wombat of Destiny is one of the strangest. The author is Welsh, I believe; I don't know the circumstances that led to writing this game, nor precisely what language it's written in. members.cox.net /dns361/wombat.html   (709 words)

SPAG18 For a homemade parser, Golden Wombat's is fairly effective -- full sentences are handled well (though not pronouns or undo, irritatingly), and there are no disambiguation problems that I encountered. Infidel, Planetfall, Sorcerer, Suspect, Trinity -- I remember each one as an event. The most exciting thing about Christmases and birthdays was the prospect of a new Infocom game. sparkynet.com /spag/backissues/SPAG18   (4899 words)

Australia - Australia Well-known Australian fauna include monotremes (the platypus and echidna); a host of marsupials, including the koala, kangaroo, wombat; and birds such as the emu, and kookaburra.

SPAG18 For a homemade parser, Golden Wombat's is fairly effective -- full sentences are handled well (though not pronouns or undo, irritatingly), and there are no disambiguation problems that I encountered. The author is Welsh, I believe; I don't know the circumstances that led to writing this game, nor precisely what language it's written in. Nonetheless, a game (however short) that is dependent so heavily on atmosphere needs to take impeccable care with the details or risk losing his audience before they get to the "frisson". www.sparkynet.com /spag/backissues/SPAG18   (10365 words)

SPAG Game Reviews G For a homemade parser, Golden Wombat's is fairly effective -- full sentences are handled well (though not pronouns or undo, irritatingly), and there are no disambiguation problems that I encountered.

The staff at Legend is composed of professionals who have proven that they _can_ do good games. www.sparkynet.com /spag/g.html   (16382 words)

SPAG18 For a homemade parser, Golden Wombat's is fairly effective -- full sentences are handled well (though not pronouns or undo, irritatingly), and there are no disambiguation problems that I encountered. Nonetheless, a game (however short) that is dependent so heavily on atmosphere needs to take impeccable care with the details or risk losing his audience before they get to the "frisson". I hadn't ever played it, so when I saw that Stuart Moore had created an Inform version, I thought I'd take the time to play this and the so-called MSTied version. sparkynet.com /spag/backissues/SPAG18   (16382 words)
