Synopsis

As the balloon Titania flies low over an erupting volcano in the Andes mountains, weight must be shed to raise it high enough to pass.

All that is left is to divest your rather portly companion, Mr Hubert Booby of his souvenirs that he has collected along the journey.

Notes

This was a single room text adventure entered in the 2003 ADRIFT competition.

It was originally written in ADRIFT in 2003, then ported to TADS in 2004.

It was ported to the Acorn Electron (in BASIC) by Dave Edwards in 2006. A version for BBC Micro, with bugfixes, was produced in 2019 by Lurkio. A revised, faster version was produced in 2023. The BBC version can be played online.

J.J. Guest himself created an Inform version of the game in 2017. The Inform version can be played online at the author's website.
