Games like Nord and Bert?

[Ogremindes]

I just finished Nord and Bert Couldn't Make Head or Tail of It, and was wondering if anyone could suggest any similar games.

For those who don't know, Nord and Bert is an Infocom text adventure based around wordplay: puzzles are based on idioms, spoonerisms, homophones and so on. In the course of the game I... made a mountain out of a molehill, turned the Worst Brat into Bratwurst and riddled while foam burned.

That sounds like a game that's impossible to play for anyone not native to the english language. :smallsigh:

Well, yeah. Any game based on wordplay would be tough going for non-native speakers. Hell, being Australian I had problems due to differences in the cultural lexicon. (Or maybe it was because some of the phrases used are from before my time.)
