If Shakespeare wrote video games and then decided, “You know what this needs? A parser and some pixelated drama,” you'd get Avon. In this interactive fiction gem from 1989, you step into the slippers of a humble page trying to save the day in the royal court. Expect puzzles with Elizabethan flair, cryptic clues, and the occasional "Thou hast died" moment. It’s like Hamlet, but you’re the intern and everyone talks in riddles. Ideal for those who enjoy their drama with a side of MS-DOS and their text adventures wrapped in bardic confusion.
