The Boggit: Bored Too
After Bored of the Rings parodied JRR Tolkien’s classic Lord of the Rings
series, Delta 4 did the same thing with its predecessor The Hobbit, preceding
New Line Cinema’s identical sequence by 20 years. There is a logical 3-part
structure to the adventure, but there are also jokes such as the Old Ford
location on the map being near a New Ford – a new Ford Sierra car.
This interactive fiction with graphics game thus features reluctant adventurer
Bimbo Faggins and devious magician Grandalf attempting to gain treasure,
ultimately by appearing on a TV game show. VERB NOUN inputs are used for most
instructions, although you have to TALK someone before SAYing anything to
them. EXAMINEing objects is crucial to progress, and to finding the best
jokes.
