Ferret is an adventure game that started life on a Data General Eclipse in 1982 and was only finished in 2022. It took six months to beat. This is the last post in the complete chronicle.

I have been going through a “puzzle contest game” (with $20,000 as a prize) from 41 years ago where nobody won the contest Some puzzles are still open, and audience participation is encouraged!

This mystery game has a nice premise: someone‘s dead, and you pick one of six people of the Stuart household to be your character. You don’t play as an investigator; your abilities differ based on your pick (the maid, for instance, differs from the one-armed war hero gardener).

I just finished a six-part series on Infocom's Starcross, where I examined the history, did a playthrough, and ruminated on the plot. This link is to the last post, but it starts with a "category" link that lets you read everything in order. bluerenga.blog/2024/09/01/sta…
