Ohhhh this is fantastic.
I haven’t played a game like that in forever though.
And you better damn bring some muffins.

Oh, you know I will.

Wait is it really muffys birthday? I mean i AM bringing muffins either way. lol

my birthday is October 6th (chiggity check out the challenge homie)
and… I could use a muffin or two….

This reminds me of this game “Frotz” I play on my itouch. Awesome! =)

Frotz is the name of the language used by the programmers who wrote the original “Zork” games (Infocom).

You should check them out, there’s a download available for all of their games if you want ’em. (At least zork 1 2 and 3).

Yep.

So your “frotz” phone thing is actually based on the games that inspired this ficlet!

Oh man, I’ll definitely be googling that!

And I knew it looked familiar!

dang that sounds so fun
if you think it is fun turn to page 9
If you brought muffins turn to page 19
If you don’t think its fun and have no muffins, you are at the wrong party.

and probably dead…

Wow, I know OF these games, pats self on back but never played, and they do remind me of a choose-your-own-adventure book!

Well, you did deserve it. You were warned to bring muffins! :)

I haven’t played a game like this in so long. I kind of miss them now.

They’re wonderful.

You got the feel of a text-based adventure just perfect, EM!

This is an awesome cake with awesome flavoured icing covered in awesome sprinkles!

I recall playing Advent on Frotz.
Good game, although I can’t get back to the Debris Room from the rest of the caves before my lantern burns out.

Don’t leave it on all the time, unless you’re in dark rooms. When you’re in the light, turn it off.

Haven’t played Advent in a while, though, so that might be pointless advice.

Sigh. Nostalgic moment for Kings Quest 2 (and 3 and 4 and 5). The frustration of not having the feather for the whale’s uvula. That takes me back a bit…

I love the old games.

Speaking of the old games…

http://www.gog.com/

They sell lots of good old games, DRM-free.

Not meaning to advertise, but I freakin’ love that site.

Fun story, I felt like I was back in the good ol’ days playing the good ol’ games.

Also – it seems to me that your style here really stretches the Ficly format and gives you a story that seems like it’s longer than it actually is. A cool effect.
