TRUDGE: An Interactive Hike
By Neil deMause
Written for SpeedIF 6, 11/26/99

How it begins

You might be anyone, clinging to the side of an "iceburg," [sic] carrying a slinky. It's a long way up and down, but you may want to keep climbing.

Notable features

• Serious guess-the-verb; at one point, the player must ask an NPC about a topic mentioned nowhere in the game.
