It's great to have played this, the first Quest game, and many thanks to KV for porting it to the latest Quest editor. Admittedly, the 5 is probably a bit generous for a relatively short game but its historical importance and relentless wise-cracks push it up there. I had to play a few times to find the optimal path, which I think is 39 moves. Recommended!
