classicgames.org - Jacaranda Jim

Jacaranda Jim is a solid text adventure game. It's true to the classic interactive fiction style, not some unholy text-graphical adventure hybrid.

The plot is typical IF stuff: you find yourself in a strange new world (there's some excuse for being there, but it doesn't matter) and you explore it. It's largely a humorous game, although it doesn't really contain a lot of utterly hilarious jokes; you simply find yourself in generally amusing or absurd situations.

Basically, Jim is a pretty decent game, although not really extraordinary. It's fun to play, and the puzzles are moderately challenging. It's worth a download (hell, it's only 90K), especially if you're a fan of IF games.
