Re: Adventure Challenge
Right you are
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!

Re: Adventure Challenge
As a big Muppet fan, I can only say that I'm totally lost here
Re: Adventure Challenge
And there is another huge muppet fan completely baffled over here .
Is it 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!)
Re: Adventure Challenge
(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.)

Re: Adventure Challenge
It's not Animal Land Murder Case. (But it was a good idea! It would have fitted Clue 1 very nicely.)Alastair wrote:After the original clue I thought it might be Animal Land Murder Case, now I'm stumped.

YEEESSSSS! Congratulations, you win!Gunness wrote:Shogun
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!
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.Gunness wrote:Ahhhh.... all you need is a morning shower and the (good?) ideas will appear
