Thanks for playing! I'm SO happy that you liked the game and that you played on the Amiga! :-) The game's getting a lot of C64 love, but I like how the Amiga version turned out to be a nice balance between the 8-bit ones and the Windows contemporary version. Did you try Pacuvia on a real Amiga? Which one?
Past tense was a bet I took, I know. I anticipated the choice could sound strange. Someone was baffled but managed to get used to it... and even found it funny! Anyway, I see what you mean with abbreviations. I remember I started to implement one for "examined/looked" but I dropped it... maybe I ran into some memory limitations on the 8-bit versions? I sincerely don't remember. I'll look into it.
Yeah, I didn't dispay the exits because there are only six locations in the whole game, and I liked that the players typed w-e-n-s to build step by step their idea of the world.
Thanks again! :-)
