YAY! I'm an author now. It's short but sweet. Follow the Johnny parts. Yummm.

That is cool.

That Captain Sorrow option is kinda gay.

Unless he's a T-Girl, then its O.K.

I have no time for your criticism! It's only my first book, be nice! ;)

Umm, im operating on 0 sleep over the last two days, ignore me. (Just realized it was Sparrow, not sorrow.)

T-Girl is a joke based on what a lot of the 'boobie' submissions are on TF now. (Tranny usually without warning)

It was funny in my own sleep deprived mind.

 
freda neato 2005-08-22 06:07:08 PM  
Sleep dep can be very fun! One can get all kinds of loopy.

WHEEE!

 
Mereel 2005-08-22 06:27:32 PM  
Haha, thats cool. I've added a couple. Look at the sky, keeping looking, then go into the cave, and then run towards the loud sound. Follow the beast you find.

Zork is obscure? What a sad day we live in

 
AntiNorm [TotalFark] 2005-08-22 07:55:25 PM  
There's a "Read Fark" option if you decide to build the computer.

Gah, Zork isn't obscure.

THIS is obscure.

Ha ha! I'll just take this treasure and hide it deep in me maze!

/hint, it was written before Zork.

 
gitsh01 2005-08-22 07:57:04 PM  
Or... you can't get it up the steps?

A hollow voice says, 'Plugh'.

If this has truly become obscure, I weep for the children. Weep.

 
Denise R Sharpe 2005-08-22 07:57:51 PM  
I ended the (very short) adventure with a house party. Good enough for me!

Fark party in a new tree house tonight!

 
AhRawn 2005-08-22 08:00:07 PM  
XYZZY!

 
Itchy_Beaver 2005-08-22 08:00:24 PM  
Enter the cave, curl into a ball, walk south, wade south.

There's my contribution.

=)

Jamin:

It's a text-based game like Zork called Adventure. It dates to the mid 1970's. Zork was first sold in 1980. Adventure doesn't let you kill anything, unlike Zork, and doesn't have grue... although you can fall and kill yourself if the battery goes out.

Adventure now has several versions, including a 500, 1000 and 1500 point version.

Sigh, happy memories.

You are in a maze of twisty passages, all alike.

You are in a maze of twisty passages, all different.

One has the battery vending machine, the other, the pirate's treasure... damned if I can remember which now.

 
Solid State Vittles 2005-08-22 08:02:04 PM  
Oh man that was good.

You go to sleep.


Oh, masturbation, what would we do without you?

EMPulse_of_KC 2005-08-22 08:04:07 PM  
I added the "slit your wrists" option, but also the alternatives once you decide to "build a moat."

 
gitsh01 2005-08-22 08:06:33 PM  
Looks like someone wrote a wiki article on Adventure:

KvanCetre: Zork is obscure? What a sad day we live in

It's just a generational thing.

Newsflash: People who are born at different times experience different things.

Why do people find it sad that persons of later eras are primarily familiar with the works of their own period. It seems so obvious.

Really, Zork is extremely well known to anyone who was a gamer during its era. But it's not going to be lunchroom conversation for anyone who wasn't alive then, any more than the finer radio plays of the '50s were a hot topic for the '70s generation.

Hi-Res mystery house. You are lost in the woods.

"You turn the corner,and in a small room,there is a round object with three lit buttons. Yellow,red and green. You can push one of them. You pushed green. Put your head between your knees,and kiss your ass goodbye. You have just detonated a thermo-nuclear device. Sorry,end of story."

Solid State Vittles: Oh, masturbation, what would we do without you?

A: Most likely, harrass the shiat out of us females.

Or in the case of some Farkers...you'd have constant erections. "All dressed up, no place to go". Shame.

 
Derwood 2005-08-22 08:12:10 PM  
too much work.

 
Murdok 2005-08-22 08:12:13 PM  
This is too awesome :)

Pick up ye flask.

You can't pick up ye flask!

You have four directions, north south, east and Dennis.

 
rhin0dread 2005-08-22 08:13:59 PM  
I think we should ALL post in the "LOG ONTO FARK.COM" choice

> kill dragon

With what? Your bare hands?

> yes

You kill the dragon with your bare hands. Good job!

 
Cpu_thrasher 2005-08-22 08:15:14 PM  
C: Put it in.

Too subtle?

 
Big Ol Smacktard 2005-08-22 08:15:17 PM  
This was kind of a bad idea to put on Fark. Now it's going to be saturated with half-baked ideas that aren't funny. I can't wait to find my first HA HA guy cameo.

 
Artifakt 2005-08-22 08:16:48 PM  
Best one was Zork 3. You got 1 point on your score, every time you STARTED down a new branch of the adventure. You could have a perfect score (7 points) without actually solving a single puzzle.

 
Scree 2005-08-22 08:17:10 PM  
Oh dear.. even I have succumbed to being offensive.. just because

That Excel Saga joke NEVER got old. One of the funniest moments...

Let's try to add some options beyond just the first page or so.

 
Dumb-Ass-Monkey [TotalFark] 2005-08-22 08:19:31 PM  
Choice #36 -- "Talk to Ha Ha guy"

You talk to "HA HA" guy only to realize you have been owned by a FARK cliche.

 
queezyweezel 2005-08-22 08:20:21 PM  
Damn, I had a great entry about the monkey being named Bevets, but after I finished, it had been changed to bananas....Ye scurvey sea dogs!

 
ProLurker 2005-08-22 08:22:41 PM  
oh, it might be farked.

"Whoops...

Wow, for only $5 bucks a month everyone could be getting lots of links to tranny webpages. Great deal!

 
d23 [recently expired TotalFark] 2005-08-22 08:23:16 PM  
Whoops...

FARKED!

Boooh-yah!

beautifulsilence 2005-08-22 08:24:22 PM  
great, its already been farked.

 
Big Ol Smacktard 2005-08-22 08:24:34 PM  
Well, terrific, not only has the link been farked, but the goddamn farkers gave it 60 meaningless options...
