A-MIS Adventure

A-MIS Adventure is a video game in the adventure genre originally released in 1993. It is currently playable on DOS.

In A-MIS Adventure, the player takes control of Norm, the programmer. Norm has made a small change to one of his programs, but it has caused serious problems and now he has to show up on Saturday to fix it. The whole game revolves around this task and takes place in the office. There are a few puzzles to solve, mostly involving the collection and use of objects. During this Saturday, Norm also has to find an access code and figure out how he can eliminate the bug without causing more trouble.

The descriptive part of this interactive fiction game is always segmented into four paragraphs: a (usually quite short) description of the scene, a list of usable objects, a list of inventory items, and directions Norm can leave. Actions are performed by typing verb and noun combinations into the parser, e.g. 'get the newspaper'. Well, actually, 'get new' would suffice, because objects are only referenced by their first three letters.

In addition to the game, the author also offers a second program that provides hints. The player can choose between three levels of quality of the hints (between a push in the right direction and the complete solution), selects the problem and then receives a text message with the hint.

It is possible that we have multiple downloads available when different versions exist.
