Dharma-Burger! “Tibet Quest”

Tibet: a place where you can “experience incredible adventure.” A “mysterious world, where the distinction between real and unreal does not exist.” “A world where all the dreams come true and nothing is impossible.” A land that “does not reveal its secrets easily.”

So says the breathless online copy for Tibet Quest, a shareware computer game with “65 explosive levels” from Fenomen Games.

I have to say, for all of the copy’s effort to trade on and perpetuate the exoticism of Tibet, I couldn’t get past level one, which was sort of like Concentration meets Tetris, but with a looping music bed that, ironically, made paying attention a challenge. Since I bailed after just minutes, I can’t say the game’s heart is in the wrong place — though the idea of a game whose object is to discover Shangri-La and pillage it “find buried relics” could make one uneasy. Ah well. If this sounds like your kind of thing — I think I’m way too old for it, despite being just a big baby-man — you can download a trial with one hour of gameplay here.
