Gnome Ranger

Gnome Ranger is a graphic adventure game designed by Peter Austin[1] and released by Level 9 in 1987.

It comes with a short novella by Peter McBride ("The Gnettlefield Journal") explaining Ingrid's predicament and setting the background to the story.

Gameplay is similar to the earlier Level 9 adventure Knight Orc, which uses the same game engine (KAOS).

The player must explore the settings while collecting useful items and interacting with various non-player characters to solve puzzles and problems.

Atari ST User magazine reviewer rated it 9/10 points overall, concluding: "I am convinced it is Level 9's best ever.

The game's parser allows the player to perform complex tasks (Atari ST screenshot).
