Not the Same Auld Lang Syne is another short Speed IF from 2007, the first year we did a New Year's Speed event, which has become a tradition that's still going (as of this posting, in 2012). I actually did get a relatively kind review on this one, from Karl Ove Hufthammer of Bergen, Norway:
You’re a secret agent, and this evening your job involves you assassinating Hitler, who’s travelled from the past in a time machine to crash the mayor’s New Year’s Eve party! This is a Speed-IF game, so it’s very short, but the writing is actually quite good, and I didn’t notice any spelling or grammar mistakes. However, the game has one major problem — it doesn’t really contain any puzzles. There are a couple of simple actions you need to do to finish the game, but the game does them for you automatically, leaving you (as the player) as a bystander. This make it much less engaging than it could and should have been.
