The first time I played this, and my character dragged himself out of bed with a terrible hangover, I jokingly typed "take aspirin". I was surprised to recieve a message back "you don't have any aspirin"... then even more gloriously amused at the fact that I was in fact supposed to take aspirin! This game is confusing at times, but it's wonderful and funny all the time. Almost as much fun as playing the game is trying to figure out all the keywords, or exploring new options in new areas. You'll be surprised at the crazy stuff Mr. Adams has thrown in there, the least of which is typing "hit self"--you die, which isn't all that funny when you forget to save, but when you aren't expecting anything to happen it's really pretty funny. Maybe I just have a weird sense of humor though... in any case, LOVE IT!!!
On a side note, how does one grade sound and graphics on a game that has neither?
