The Atomic Heart
Author: Stefan Blixt
Language: z-code
Genre: Science fiction
Score: 7
I thought this was a fairly innovative idea: you play as a robot (and
unlike some other games, you are well aware of your status from the very
beginning). As such, there are some actions you are quite incapable of
taking, but other abilities beyond those of normal humans are available to
you. The downside is that the implementation felt somewhat clumsy.
There are some bugs (being able to pick up a giant robot and some
out-of-order lines of text) and a "death" system somewhat reminiscent of
Spider and Web, though not nearly as elegant. With some more attention to
these problems, this could shift from a decent game to a good one.
