George's Adventure is a game by the brother of the Blue Buckaroo guy, Chuck Keller (Crono7181). It would have been significantly better than Blue Buckaroo if it weren't so broken.

The objective is to kill an evil dwarf, but there's also a quest to find five magic rocks in separate dungeons, only four of which can be found. And only two of which can be collected without fixing some major bugs. The main quest also can't be completed because of a board linkage error.

There's a lengthy game in here, but code errors, board linkage errors, and damage from the world file being converted by conversion to Megazeux 2.x format from 1.x format make it unbeatable. Not that it would have been beatable even in Megazeux 1.02.

A shame, because this would have been a good effort for something made in Megazeux 1.02's crude editor. It doesn't look great or play well, but it had the potential to be at least coherent and impressively nonlinear for a Megazeux game of its time.

Interestingly, there's a demo of Blue Buckaroo 4 in here as well as a single board from an unreleased Crono7181 game.

Not really worth checking out, unless you remember downloading it from Keller's AOL FTP decades ago and want to revisit it.
