How it begins
You are Clueless Bob Newbie, author of the world's worst text adventures, but you think they're the best. Recently, you learned that a time capsule containing the 100 greatest text adventures of all time will be buried for thousands of years. The authors of those games will become heroes, gods even—and none of your games will be included! How insulting!
That's why you are standing outside the Adventure Corps building and carrying a "Masterpieces of CBN" CD which contains your 321 "best" games. You plan to break into the building and put your CD into the container yourself.
Notable features
- The "CD" is not represented as a game object in the inventory, but the player must act as if the CD is there.
- Some puzzles are optional, but you need to solve every puzzle to get the high score of 45 points.
