Sir Loin and the Coming of Age by CJ592

Review DavyB

I've played a few games by CJ592 recently and find myself saying much the same thing in each review: I really enjoy the games but am distracted by the 'rough edges'. Again there are typos throughout and cases where clues remain after puzzles have been solved. Also, it is written in the previous version of Quest, meaning there are some missing facilities such as "x me" and "take all". As a result, I've given another 4 stars.

The difference this time, however, is that I've spelt out what I think should be changed by re-implementing it! I hoped to do this with CJ592 but he/she doesn't seem to have been on the site for quite some time and an email address in the game produced no response. I'd be interested to hear if I really have made this a 5-star game? ...or just made it more to my taste!!

Comic Sans font put me off from playing this game.

Review danaburgerrr

that was a lot of fun! great subject matter and good humor. I like the puzzles: they made sense and they took a bit of figuring out but they weren't too complicated to the point of frustration. only got stuck once or twice but everything else is pretty straightforward. the size of the world is also just right: two main areas for exploring with only a few rooms/areas each so I know where I've been but don't feel confined to a small setting. my only complaint would be the spelling/grammatical errors, it bothers me in text adventures when things haven't been proofread. but other than that this was a great game. looking forward to the next one!

I liked this game. Okay it's not perfect, but I thought the humour was good fun.

Comment CJ592

Sounds like you need to get it to move. Have you tried the old carrot and stick technique?

Comment braden

I couldnt do much. what do you do after you mount the mule? I couldn't rate it because I didn't really finish the game

Review Ben Martin

Great sense of humor. Clues within the text are really clever -- and helpful, if you pay close attention to them.

Review David Welbourn

This was fun. This is mostly a reasonably straightforward series of fetch quests in a lighthearted faux medieval setting. The prose is nothing special and there's some sloppy spelling errors that the author should really fix up, but this is more than made up for by the way everything fits together. All the puzzles make sense, and several items have more than one use. Also, the game is "merciful"; you cannot put the game into a state where it's impossible to lose.

It took more than one sitting before I could finish the game. The hardest puzzle for me was naming the kitten, but I did guess it eventually. My walkthrough for the game is at http://webhome.idirect.com/~dswxyz/sol/sirloin.html . I look forward to the sequel, should the author write it.
