Triad

I think for the time it was released this had good enough graphics to do what it wanted to do. The premise is interesting too.

Plot: nonexistent, but it doesn't hurt. The game is clearly just a mix of three different types (puzzle, adventure, and RPG), and you have to finish all three.

RPG: I did this first. I believe RPG battles have been standard for a while when this game came out, so it wasn't all that spetacular. The carrying damage system was interesting (at least for me). It wasn't really an "RPG" because there was no plot. You had to defeat about six baddies in increasing order. I like the fact that youcould buy many spells and equipment, and learn techniques, but the lack of anything except battles made it a little disappointing.

Puzzle: I love small puzzles, and I was delighted by their inclusion in Triad. I believe this is where the game shines, and is worth a download by a puzzle fan. I think Mastermind was done perfectly, and the ricoshet puzzle was nice too. A few other puzzles were too easy, but it was an enjoyable thing for a coffee break.

Adventure: I really didn't like this. There were quite a few places where no care was given (dead objects #DIE instead of blending in with carpet, and it was only 4 boards of basically getting objects from A to B. Not recommended.

Music was nonexistent, though Graphics were adequate for such a game.

It wasn't excellent, but I liked the puzzles.
