FIRST WAVE, Then Jump Up and Down Screaming is a Z-machine version 5 interactive fiction game written with Inform 6 and is © 1999 by L. Ross Raszewski (writing as DorianX). It was an entry in the Speed-IF 4 event.
You play as someone acting as a penniless drifter in an aliens-versus-the-world story. Your task: climb to the top of the Eiffel Tower and defeat an evil alien's evil plan!* — * Now with footnotes!
This solution is by David Welbourn.
Base of the Eiffel Tower
> footnote 1. footnote 2. footnote 3. footnote 4.
> x tower. i. n.
> u. u. u. u. u. u. u. u. u. u. u. u. u. n.
Emergency Bathroom
> footnote 5. footnote 6. x paper. take it.
> s. u. u. u. u. u. u. u. u. u.
Top of the Eiffel Tower
> footnote 7. x alien. x bomb. x onion. take bomb.
> hit alien. take onion. z. z. z. footnote 8. eat onion.
Without an onion, the alien is defeated and destroys himself.

This walkthrough is provided free of charge since I wrote this walkthrough prior to January 2015 when I began my Patreon account, and also because the work it's based on has less than fifteen locations (so I wouldn't have charged for it anyway). I've since reformatted this walkthrough to use my currently preferred style. I hope you enjoy it!
I'm still creating new walkthroughs! Larger ones too! Please visit my Patreon account if you're interested in helping me create more interactive fiction walkthroughs. I appreciate all the help I can get! Thanks again.
