A different type of Infocom mystery, Ballyhoo, takes place entirely at a
circus. Complete with tight-rope walking, wild animals, clowns, magicians,
and other circus-like elements, Ballyhoo is very flavorful, and the usual
Infocom descriptiveness shows up well in this game, which really brings a
circus to life. The most unfortunate part of the game is the plot, which is
quite confusing and hard to follow, and ends with a silly and unnecessary
plot twist that is more of a letdown than an exciting ending, though, I
suppose, fitting for the type of mystery story this game tells. All in all,
an interesting game, but certainly not one of Infocom's more intense or defined. |
