Introduction =============================================================================== Made by Interceptor Micros in 1983 for the Commodore 64, Token of Ghall is a short interactive fiction adventure. The aim is to recover an enchanted token that was hidden by King Ghall many years ago. What could have been a reasonable game is ruined by an awful parser that requires extremely specific commands in order to perform actions, and this seriously limits the amount of interactivity that some of the areas may have had. The graphics for the locations are very basic, although some attempts at animation have been made in places. There are some decent puzzles, but unfortunately the adventure is over very quickly. =============================================================================== 2.
