It's the Lounge interactive early 80's Text Only Adventure thread.
You are in a darkened room. That, or you have no eyes. Either way you can see very little indeed.

You have -
A robe
A towel
A penknife
An 8-track copy of 'Frampton Comes Alive'
The vague feeling that something very toothy is about to eat your head.

You can go -
Up
Down
Insane

Turns remaining until Koknok the Destructor destroys Morgoland - 7.

5. You hit your head on a flat, painful surface.
You get the feeling that if you do that again much more, death may occur.

18. You bleed on the surface.
Very little ensues.

Somewhere, at the back of your admittedly tiny mind, the though occurs - 'maybe I should do something about the darkness?'

28. You flip the lightswitch.
You are outside at the bottom of a completely unclimbable pit. Elrond looks at you quizzically. Bulbous eyes stare down from above.

31. Koknok destroys Morgoland.
The small occasional table crumples under his mighty fist. Satisfied, Koknok heads to the pub.
Elrond cleaves your skull.

13. You attempt to defy all physical laws in order to climb the tree.
Unfortunately, death gets in the way of all such activity.
A small, surly Troll comes along and starts to gnaw on your head.

21. You have no flashlight.
All that exertion looking for the non-existent flashlight is making you even less alive than you were already.
