Phantom of the Arcade - A Text Adventure

[IrrelevantTangent]

For Phantom, grab the Z8 file and Frotz, as linked below the main game.

z8 file and frotz, got it. Thanks, root.

By the way, guys, the game simply wouldn't have been possible without the efforts of Mr. paulgruberman there, who steadfastly resisted the urge to stab people while wrestling with some incredibly persnickety code. He'll be in therapy for years to come.

I can imagine... I have a little (...very little) experience messing around with scripts, entities and codes...and my god, the headaches sometimes.

 

[SargentToughie]

I was actually able to muddle my way through it... that was fun

 

[Xaryn Mar]

Finished it at last. Fun though

 

[IrrelevantTangent]

Alright, I finally managed to load the game via downloading the z.8 file and a Z-machine interpreter. I heard that someone had a walkthrough, is that true?

You don't give the lanky ghost anything... it's the desire to play that counts... think about that for a moment

I tried 'playing' with the lanky ghost, and playing Street Fighter, but that didn't work....I'm so confused.

 

[SargentToughie]

Think... what do you need to play campy old arcade games?

 

[Volucer]

I'm really enjoying this, not played any text based games before. So far I'm on 40/95 and on 200 turns, gonna try and muddle my way through the final few ghosts (bored, fat, leaning, manager)

Quarters? Games?

Also, how do you get the E.T. game? I've tried everything but I can't figure out what to do.

 

[John Funk]

Just persevere and you'll get it! Don't let that crane game push you around

EDIT- I finally got it! I gave the E.T. game to the ghost I was supposed to. Now I just have to figure out how to get the final chapter of that book, right?

 

[Conqueror Kenny]

What do I do with the coffee?

If only there were somewhere official to ask these questions.

Is that a hint?

Of course! I'm not some sort of babbling fool.

 

[IrrelevantTangent]

Anyone have any clues as to how you get that final chapter of the 'How to win at Videogames' book?

 

[John Funk]

Now now. Less direct questions, less direct answers

I really need help...

 

[IrrelevantTangent]

Can someone PLEASE tell me how to get Chapter Four from the leaning ghost??
