Gnome Ranger is a text adventure game by Level 9 released in 1987.[1] It was followed by a sequel titled Ingrid's Back.[1]
Plot
The gnome Ingrid Bottomlow has displeased her family by her un-gnomelike behaviour, such as going off to university and getting an education. She has been teleported from her village into the middle of a dangerous forest by an evil witch, and must find her way out.
Gameplay
The game is a standard text adventure with limited graphics on some platforms. 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 forest while collecting useful items and interacting with various non-player characters to solve puzzles and problems.
