Phantom of the Arcade - A Text Adventure

[thebobmaster_v1legacy]

I tried to make the language as forgiving as possible, but there are certain instances where fairly specific language is required. Welcome to text adventures.

Love the chicken suit, BTW. Think I can get a hint on how to open the door to the storage room?

Well, it's locked, right? How do you normally get through a locked door?

Heh, yeah...I was being a little too generic.

What do you usually use to open your locked doors?

You're VERY close, caliostro. When you examine said object, there's a clue as to what you need to do in the description.

Think about your senses.

Edit: You're on the right track. This isn't about the first item you mention, but rather, the second - but you NEED the first item.

Erm... That was a bit unnecessary since I had long identified what it was without having the game tell me, but I got it lol.

Also, there's a small glitch in the system where you can rack up as many points as you want (see spoiler bellow). It's not really huge, since the score you get doesn't really count for anything, but still. Who should I PM the details to, if anyone?

For the record, I did get all 95 points. The "glitch" in question grants you 5 extra points per "run".

Spoiler: 100/95

One ghost to go, and I'm bamboozled. Any hints, however vague or pun-tastic (trust me, I love wordplay), about the bored ghost?

 

[John Funk]

Caliostro, please PM the glitch to Susan Arendt!

 

[thebobmaster_v1legacy]

Whoops, beaten to it. And I had the wrong ghost.

Whoops, beaten to it. And I had the wrong ghost.

It was a good bit of wordplay, regardless.

 

[thebobmaster_v1legacy]

My guess is since he likes bad games, he'd *really* like a *really* bad game.
And there's one in a room very near him!
The problem is, how to get the damn thing.

When I can't figure something out, I find it useful to throw my weight around.

And if worse comes to worse, you can just phone home.

I'm stuck on the bored ghost, I'm sure I know what to use, but he never seems interested damnit.

Which one is that? The Street Fighter II or Mortal Kombat one?

The bored one. With the skill games.

 

[Matthicus]

I'm pretty sure the bored one is in the skill games room.

 

[thebobmaster_v1legacy]

Well, just sit down with a nice cup of coffee and think it over.

 

[CoziestPigeon]

guh, figured it out. Gotta examine said item first to change it.

 

[Volucer]

For some reason I can't play it. I try and it says I need ActiveX, which I install, then when I try again it says that Windows has blocked it for my protection. I'm gonna keep trying tomorrow as it looks like fun.

Sadly I can't get the game to load up at all, the publisher thing is blocked by my computer.
