Shrinking Professor

Moby ID: 217578

Description

Shrinking Professor is a text adventure for the BBC Micro.

The player is a professor working in their laboratory, when the potion they are mixing slips from their grasp and spills. Suddenly a choking green fume overcomes the player, and when they wake up they have been transformed to less than one inch in height. The only way to regain their height is to get to the top of the laboratory table where there are crystals that will restore the player's original size.

All commands are via VERB NOUN entry, and there is no save/restore feature. The player starts in their basement, and must navigate their garden, a nearby stream, and the rooms of the house. The player must avoid dangers including spiders, birds, and other animals.
