Right you are :thumb: :thumb: :thumb:

The first clue might work better for a game called A Mind Forever Wandering, and the infinity symbol doesn't exactly mean the same as "forever" - but close enough :)

(Incidentally this is one of the very few Infocom titles I've never gotten around to playing)

Anyway, Eriorg, the ball is yours!

As a big Muppet fan, I can only say that I'm totally lost here ;)

And there is another huge muppet fan completely baffled over here :D.
Is it Funfear ?

No, it's not Funfear.

And yes, I know my clue was rather obscure :) . Here's another one:

Game #3
Clue 2

The Clue 1 is actually a little rebus: each picture should suggest one (and only one) word, and if you combine these two words (or rather the sound of these words), you should get a new word which is the solution.

(Ah, and also: there are no muppets in the game, or at least, I'd be extremely surprised if there were any!)

(A bit of pointless trivia about muppets and text adventures, with nothing to do with the challenge: I read in a blog post that the mainframe version of Stuga had muppets in it.)

After the original clue I thought it might be Animal Land Murder Case, now I'm stumped.

It's not Animal Land Murder Case. (But it was a good idea! It would have fitted Clue 1 very nicely.)

YEEESSSSS! :thumb: :thumb: :thumb: Congratulations, you win!

The first picture from the rebus was The Muppet Show. The second picture was a gun. So the rebus was "Show" + "gun" -> "Shogun". A rather forgettable text adventure, even if it was published by Infocom and authored by Dave Lebling.

(There is no particular reason why I chose The Muppet Show rather than any other show. It was just the first idea I had when I had to choose a picture to illustrate the word "show".)

It's your turn now, Gunness! :D

I also had the idea of "A Mind Forever Voyaging" when I was away from my computer, taking a walk. Not a bad strategy, apparently.
