Mindfighter

The computer game of an Anna Popkess book (which was originally bundled with
the game) uses an interactive fiction System Without A Name, or SWAN for
short. It’s set in a post-apocalyptic world of guards desperately attempting
to retain order over mobs of genetically-mutated thugs, with extensive use of
the death penalty.

Into this maelstrom steps Robin, an 11-year-old psychic beamed forward in time
from before the drama. Adjusting to a completely different form of life, Robin
must learn to survive and get adequate food, and ultimately infiltrate this
vicious police state.

Encounters with other characters are frequent, of whom some retain a semblance
of old humanity. Daryl, Alison and Matthew all come in handy, and must be
coaxed into doing what you wish. Examining objects often gives few clues, so
the detail in the manual is vital, although few of the objects are vastly
different from familiar 20th century artifacts. Two levels of object
descriptions exist, allowing for faster or more immersive play.
