A brief distraction for some of you
Last year, I sat down and started to work on a Mariner text adventure game. In March, I briefly posted it here for feedback, but I never got back to finishing it for a variety of boring reasons. Thanks to events of the last year, it’s no longer as applicable. Or at all, really.
Here, then, for your momentary enjoyment, if you are both a Mariner fan and someone who knows what happens if you say “plugh” and why an “elvish sword of great antiquity” glows, I offer to you: A Fine Day in Peoria. It’s a .z5 file. It comes with no warranty of any kind. No tech support, nothing. It costs nothing, and you are guaranteed to get your money’s worth. If you get a laugh out of it, that’s good enough.

I’m not going to look at it but wow.
WOW.
Dungeons and Baseball Dragons?
Thank you for displaying all the insight and wit we’ve come to expect from Dave Valle himself.
I’m on XP and I saw the same thing. I changed:
View->Display Options->Updates
to “Very Frequent” and it fixed that problem.
Has anyone else examined the shirt yet? It’s good for a laugh.
Yay! So excited. I’ll be looking at this at home tonight (especially with the kind assistance of fellow Mac users above).
Already I am hoping for, if this game is based on the last few years:
>examine outlandish contract extension
Why would you want to do that?
>examine outlandish contract extension
Why would you want to do that?
because it’s freaking hilarious
Ahhhh Zork… The first game I ever played (on my Commodore 64) until I saw the sun come up in the morning. One of the greatest games of all time.
