This was the first work in progress to come out of the AGI community (as I recall) and it still remains on the top list of work in progress demos to be available. A second work in progress was released which was about twice as big as the first, which made the game even better. The graphics are quite good. The technical aspects are also quite good. The list of understood commands is good enough, but it never hurts to have more. When dealing with the Gatekeeper, it would be nicer if more ways of talking with him were understood. Also, when dealing with the leprechauns, it is almost difficult to have to type "listen to men" several times to hear the hints. I would suggest having it that as long as you are standing in the area with them, it lists what they are saying every ten or so seconds. I am unsure really of the current status of this game as I haven't heard from Lance in a long time, but I hope that this game is still being made, because it really is quite excellent. It remains very faithful to Sierra's original style like King's Quest which in a nostalgic sense, is very good.

About

The game was the first Fan Made game to be released, before AGI Studio had been released. It was created using stand-alone resource tools. The first demo was released in 1998, followed by a second demo later. Unfortunately, this game has been abandoned.
