There is a program out there for writing text adventure games.
It is called Inform (http://www.inform-fiction.org/I7/Download.html).
There is a program for playing these games.
It is called Zoom (http://www.logicalshift.demon.co.uk/mac/zoom.html) (for Mac).
It is also called Windows Frotz (http://www.d.kinder.btinternet.co.uk/frotz.html).

So, is it then possible for there to be a real, live, Poke Zeor And Die?
Maybe so.

But I feel like doing one of these kah-ray-zay all inclusive game things you young-'uns are all going about today.
This won't be like other forum games, though. Instead, it will be more along the lines of "You tell me something that you think the player should be allowed to do. I will program this".

It's all the fun of creating a text adventure, with none of the back-breaking coding. (Unless you are Pigbuster, and unfortunately, it seems that is only true for me).

The school semester is ending, so I'm gonna have free time to burn.

Here's the THRILLING GAME CODE SO FAR.
100% Off-Topic is a room. "Paul.Power built this room 3 years ago, and it was, and still is, a technical marvel on the forums. At any given moment the room takes on a unique appearance according to the current subject at hand. [line break]Currently, it has taken on the appearence of a Japanese tea house."

A worm is a kind of person.
A worm called Philby is here.
He wears a purple top hat.
He carries a spoon.
Yes, that's just an example.
Feel free to suggest anything better than that.

The first incarnation of the game was written by me in Perl about 5 days after I had heard of Pick Up The Phone Booth and Die :)

I'd love to see how this turns out, though. I'll probably start helping out in a few days or so.

Damn. I was about to post "> Pick up phone booth".
