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.

8. As you can see nothing, you accidentally sever a finger. |

That's going to hurt.

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.

29. Realize that if the pit is unclimbable I couldn't hit my head |

Stab Elrond with the penknife. Go back to bed.

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

6. You can see nothing, therefore your knife falls downwards. |
|
Unfortunately it pierces your chest directly above your heart. You die.
You scored 1 out of 5,600

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.
