IRIDIUM I: The Space Rush (Yet Another Text Adventure)
29 replies, posted
This is not going to be another [URL=http://facepunch.com/showthread.php?t=1475718]half-assed adventure[/URL], I swear. The rules to follow are rather simple. 1) You can only hold four things in your awfully tiny pockets and 2) Enter a command, suffer the consequences. Your score (labeled 'S' in the bar on the top) can be incremented by progressing in the plot and collecting loot. Your moves ('M' in the bar) are added up whenever you do anything. With these pleasantries out of the way, our tale begins with a firm push of a diskette into your terminal. Drumroll please.

What wouldst thou deau? First thing I woud deau is probably seek `[I]help[/I]`. But that's just me. The first step to coming over your problems is to admit you need help.

Wait how do you pronounce inventory?
Accidentally let the report get sucked into an air duct.
Make a paper airplane out of the PAMPHLET

Yeah unfortunately this game's parser isn't as sophisticated as we thought. So we're moving on to...

This is beyond 'go dennis' levels to the point your boss is wearing the same [I]JIMBERJAM[/I] Dennis does. Coincidence? I think not!

Again, 're-enact' is unfortunately not in this game's dictionary. Even if it were, you no longer had your [I]AIRPLANE[/I] or any [I]BOTTLES[/I] to use.

There weren't any in your inventory. Heck, you lost both your [I]REPORT[/I] and [I]PAMPHLET[/I]/[I]AIRPLANE[/I]. Sounds like a safe bet you're not wearing any to begin with. That's okay. Dennis probably isn't either.
Great

Meh. It's mainly sweets, ammunition, and lamp batteries. Don't think someone thought this vending machine through all the way. :v:

Hopefully this means we can hunt for a [DEL]jimberjam[/DEL] sweet prize in the mine now.
Look for the report in the mines in case the duct just happened to lead there

This would be a lot easier to portray with graphics. But [I]nooooo[/I], corporate didn't think we needed graphical workstations here.
