Hamlet - The text adventure

You're the prince of Denmark, and boy, are you in a sucky mood! You've been grounded again, your friends don't understand you, and your evil uncle has murdered your father to usurp the throne.

Experience Shakespeare's greatest tragedy as the Elizabethans themselves did, on their primitive 286-based PCs.
