Walkthrough? that would be nice, I keep losing and I've not even got of earth yet.paulgruberman said:
One of these days, I swear, I'm going to ban you for your love of puns. It pains me so.The_root_of_all_evil said:Well, it was ground earlier.Delmar Wynn said:
Grr...missing 10 points. Have the Romero and coward ones, but there is still something I'm missing...
Well, that was a fun way to enjoy an hour in the middle of the night. My hat is off to you, it actually took me a moment to figure out the mortal kombat guy before I finally figured it out. The map really helped in making it even more enjoyable too (for me at least).
I forgot to say thanks.
That was a great game you guys had there; I really hope that you guys host another text-based adventure game in the future.
I also did it without using the map; which helped me to utilise the chicken costume to its full potential.
Once again; kudos to the escapist staff!

I was brought up on Rocky/Bullwinkle and DangerMouse, I blame my youth.Susan Arendt said:One of these days, I swear, I'm going to ban you for your love of puns. It pains me so.The_root_of_all_evil said:Well, it was ground earlier.Delmar Wynn said:
I have DM on DVD, I'll have you know.

How do I un-jam the street fighter coin slot?! GAH! I've been stuck on this for nearly an hour!
I got that much. There are no quarters in any area I have access to, though.The_root_of_all_evil said:
Uh...yes there is...Either you've picked it up or not been in the right room.TwilightFan182 said:
I hardly ever play text adventure games, so this is a command and response I typed in at the beginning:
Unfortunately, the door seems to be stuck. You can't figure out how it managed to lock itself, but whatever - it ain't budging. You're going to have to find some other way out of here. Peering through the darkness, you think you can see a dark corridor extending east.
>go down hall
I only understood you as far as wanting to go down.
Made me giggle.

If you're stuck: LOOK at everything. Including things already in your inventory. Clues abound.
I finished it pretty quickly - only encountered one object which I knew what to do with but couldn't phrase it right - but it did take me a while to realise there was an actual door to the NE from the entrance hall, not just noise coming through a wall (the pitfalls of looking at a map which doesn't show diagonal doors!)
I got the extra points for make-you-his-***** and the points for being not unflappable, but I'm still only on 85. Those extra 10 points have got me stumped. Any wise words, Game Master?
