Ah, some reviews.
So have you taken the time to try either of them out?
I'll say this. Old adventure games sure had a penchant for completely random mazes didn't they? From KQ5's stupid desert to Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade's ridiculous "guess that was the wrong tile, idiot" library guessing game, it got annoying. I think it's a left over from those old text based adventure games full of "you can go north, west and dennis" where you just experimented and maybe you die. At least modern adventure games have ditched that old convention.

"On two occasions, I have been asked [by members of Parliament], 'Pray, Mr. Babbage, if you put into the machine wrong figures, will the right answers come out?' I am not able to rightly apprehend the kind of confusion of ideas that could provoke such a question." ~ Charles Babbage (1791-1871)
