MZX 3.0 Tragedy is a pretty accurate title. Except the 3.0 part. This is a Weirdness-style inventory "adventure" game, similar enough that you even start in the player's house. It sucks though, there's a few items that you can miss that will make the game unbeatable. And I never ended up using some of the items.

It really sucks. Like, one of the first things you have to do is move a cannon to right next to the player's sister and fire at her a bunch of times, which involves going through a text menu. So you press page down, enter and left in order a bunch of times. It devolves into a ZZT-style shooter about halfway through in poorly laid out boards. Only the last two boards are any good, having a slider puzzle and a battle against a somewhat challenging snake opponent. Game hands out free lives like crazy by that point, though, so it's no threat.

The really offensive part of this game is near the middle though. You have to run through a bunch of explosions that turn into fire using the surf board item and try to make it to the upper right corner. Even with the surf board decreasing damage it sucked.

Graphics aren't very good. Just... look at the screenshots... music's stuff used previously in Megazeux games and doesn't really fit. Except how it's, well, a game sorta about a Megazeux 3.0 that, as of October 2012, still doesn't exist.

If you must play a Megazeux 3.0 Tragedy game, play the second one instead. It's the closest to being a passable game..
