The game doesn't understand the more natural verb "pour".

In conclusion, I'd just like to point out that the steel door never opens and you're effectively trapped in the alchemist's home. Enjoy that gold while you can, sucker.

Breakout

by Peter Wilkins

There's two ways to win the game, but you can also die two ways as well.

Prison Cell

Note: Yeah, you gotta use "use" in this game. Sorry. You can't use the more natural command "unscrew vent with nail file".

>x toilet. x seat. x lighter. take it. x vent. x bed. x cloth. take it.

>x sink. push it. x hole. x file. take it. use file on vent.

We can now try to escape north or east. We'll try north first...

>n.

Water Pipe Tunnel

Well, if "unscrew" wasn't handled, don't expect "light", "clean" or "dry" to be implemented as useful verbs either.

>use lighter. use cloth on lighter. use lighter. look. n.

Sewers

Caution: You will be caught if you leave the location or enter the gap without using the sewage.

>x sewage. take it. use sewage. enter gap. n. [win!]

Strangely, the game just says "GAME OVER" and doesn't actually end gracefully with the standard 'do you want to restart, restore, etc.' question. So let's head back to the cell and try the other exit.

>s. s. e.

Air Duct

>x wrench. take it. e.

Air Duct Exit

Caution: Going east while the fan is running is fatal. Which should be obvious. Of course, implementing "throw wrench at fan" ought to be obvious, too, but, whatever.

>use wrench on fan. e. [win again!]

This is a very ambitious attempt to do a classic murder mystery, but it just doesn't go far enough in the details. There's several NPCs, but they're all very lightly implemented, with very few conversation topics, and very terse even so. The evidence that can be found is inconclusive at best, so it's something of a surprise when you accuse the 'right' person and told you've solved the case, even without motive or weapon.

Because the use of your initial inventory items is optional, you can easily miss a good chunk of the game right there. Examining the watch won't tell you the time, but "time" or "check time" will. You can't light a cigarette, but you can smoke several of them. None of which helps you solve the mystery.

There's three stages to the game: pre-dinner, the dinner, and post-dinner. The dinner stage begins when you enter the dining cabin or after X turns, whichever comes first. You are trapped there until the murder occurs, which begins the post-dinner stage.

During the pre-dinner stage, the NPCs are scattered about the ship, getting ready for dinner. When dinner begins, all NPCs are gathered there, and they'll leave in a pre-set order. Once the murder has occured, almost everyone will be inside or just outside Jacob's suite (suite G), except for the purser on the Poop Deck and the elderly Maureen in suite B.

When you first visit the murder scene, the captain will give you the run of the ship. All suite doors will be unlocked from that point onward.

There are five pieces of evidence you can find: a charm, a newspaper, a note, a box of rat poison, and a shell casing. Confusingly, this points to four suspects more or less equally: Emily, Lorraine, Thurston, and Major Astley. But "accuse astley" is the only one that works, so that's what we have to go with.

All you have to do in this game is escape the building. You get points, however, for doing heroic or helpful actions.

Note that the floors aren't joined between the two stairwells on the lower levels, and that the game only ends when you leave the building from the southern stairwell. This means that when it's time to leave the building, use the south stairs.

(This is typical, yet bizarre, text adventure game logic at work. The idea is that you make a trade; you give the bum something he wants (candy), and he gives you something that you want (flashlight). It completely ignores the fact that the candy won't feed the bum for long and he will be hungry tomorrow, and the flashlight is something the bum probably wants to keep, gift of candy or not.)

Lost Space Colony: Infestation

by John Gaffrey

Note: There are inventory management issues in this game. You can only carry one weapon at a time. And the table top is too heavy to carry with anything else.

Oh, and weapons tend to evaporate when you use them to kill something. I'm not sure why, and the game doesn't exactly tell you that you're no longer carrying a weapon.

The M Adventure

by Don Lonser

This adventure is in something called the "M Maze"; I think it's just meant to refer to the M-shape that the room layout makes. I also think that the colours blue and gold are just the official UMD colours and have no other symbolic significance.

I haven't bothered to find out how to get a full 200 points in this game; most actions that award points are optional.

Personally, I think those values for the treasures are a little low. Pretend everything should be multiplied by 1000, so the wooden statue is worth $9000, not a mere $9, and so on.

Bonus feature: Because debugging was left on, you can use the "tree" command to discover that there are two additional places you can drive the car to: a bank and a rich man's house. There is an ATM at the bank location, but you can't use it. The rich man's house has nothing implemented but the location itself.

Neighbor from Hell

by Rich Hojnacki

There's some real problems with object names and guess-the-verb issues in this game. The medallions can't be called "medallion"; you can only refer to them by their appropriate adjectives. "Open" and "unlock" aren't used much in this game; instead, "search" seems to be used as a general "use" verb. The creature alluded to in the game, when you finally get to the room it's in, can be easily missed entirely; it can only be refered to as "monster".

Also note: the safe won't open unless you have all four medallions. You must hold the skull key to "search" the trapdoor successfully. The monster will kill you in the final room if you don't have the glo-stick.

CAUTION: No objects in this game are coded as portable. If you drop anything from your inventory, you won't be able to pick it up again. (Also, the bag can't contain things, the cup of chili isn't edible, and the lighter can't be lit or turned on. World modeling? What's that?)

>x bushes. x bag. take bag. e. n. x cup. take cup. s. w. w.

>x dog. give cup to dog. x vomit. take lighter. x lighter. x key. x dog. e. e. n.

>unlock door with key. open door. n. x toilet. x turd. take turd. s. s. w. n.

Project Seed

by Chris Pieprzak

The doctor won't or can't answer any of your questions; you can ignore him.

>x doctor. x desk. take all from desk. x clothing. wear clothing.

>x backpack. open it. x gun. x compartment. open it. x dvd. s. s. x door. e.

Note that the cafeteria doesn't actually have any food or people in it.

>look. take keycode. x it. w. unlock door with keycode. open door. s.

>x desk. open drawer. take all from drawer. x screwdriver. x picture.

>x device. open it. take dvd. put dvd in device.

Sorry, but you'll have to type "bottem" as well. Also, try not to drop the battery; there's no good way to refer to the battery itself without confusing it with the battery compartment of the device.

>open battery compartment. take gun. unlock bottem with screwdriver. open bottem.

>take battery. put it in battery compartment. [win]

The Quest for the Sword of 1000 Truths

by Carl Saenz

Serious guess-the-verb and guess-the-noun issues in this game. The receptionist is also both portable and inanimate, so you can also guess that the coding of this game is impressively dire.

In particular, the gray object on the carpet is a gray USB drive, which you can find out either by "take all" or refering to it as "drive1", since none of "gray", "object", "usb", or "drive" are names for it.

To find the verbs "backup" and "import", I had to use TXD to disassemble the story file. So don't get any ideas that I was clever in figuring those out.

>take pen. take drive1. x receptionist. drop pen. n.

>take glasses. wear glasses. u. u. n.

The servers in Backup can't be called "server"; use "server3", "server4", and "server5" instead.

>x server3. backup server3. x server4. delete server4. x server5. s. d. n.

Careful. Don't go north into the closet; the author didn't code a way out of it.

>e. x server. delete server. w. w.

>x server. import server. [win]

Sneaky Game

by Jim Nardecchia

Note that you don't lose the stone when you successfully throw it. Also, the spotlight is still as bright as ever after it's broken.

>take stone. n. x spotlight. throw stone at spotlight. i. throw stone at guard. x guard. n.

This gate was unlocked by the guard that came out. You still have to open it, though.

>open gate. n. x tower. enter tower. take card. out. n.

There's no slot; you can't "swipe card" or "insert card in slot".

>x panel. unlock panel with card. open door. n. w. s.

You're a spy and a thief, yet you still bother to think they won't mind if you take one of their very precious paperclips. Also, you can take the binder, but it's still listed in the room description, of course.

>x desk. open drawer. x binder. take it. x cup. take paperclip.

>unlock drawer with paperclip. open drawer. take cd. x it. n. n. [win]

Stranded

by Jorden Lowe

Note that the cell phone, the thing you want to augment with an antenna and that you're using as a light source? It's not implemented.

Also, this game doesn't like sharing words for items, so you might have more difficulty than usual when trying to refer to things. Of course, the author's fondness for not implementing objects at all will complicate this. Needles in unimplemented haystacks.

>e. x foil. take it. w. w. x pin. take it. e.

>ne. x door. unlock door with pin. open door. ne.

The buttons can't be referred to as "button", but only by their colours. Also, pushing the green button is fatal, and there's nothing in the game to warn you ahead of time. Pushing the red button unlocks the steel door. And by the way, the steel door is "steel", not "door" or "steel door".

>push red. sw. x steel. open steel. u.

>x floor. take key. x key. e.

Can you guess how to refer to the bedroom door? Give up? It's "bed", "room", or "bed room".

>unlock room with key. open room. e. [win]

The Testing

by Joseph Brogowski

You have amnesia, but you'll be able to recover part of your memory in every room. Also, make sure you grab the note from each room.

Luxurious Bedroom

I don't understand what the panel numbers are trying to convey, but I suppose it doesn't matter as long as I got the door open.

>verbose. x table. x crisp note. take it.

>x bed. x headboard. [First memory recovered.]

>x dresser. open it. x lamp. take it.

>x door. open door. listen. x panel. push fourth. listen. open door.

>x lights. pull lights. open door. n.

Well-Appointed Living Room

>x fireplace. x chair. sit on chair. x fireplace. [2nd memory recovered.]

>stand. e. x white door. x pedestal.

There's some name confusion. The pool can't be called a "pool". Also, the table isn't mentioned in the room description; you need to guess that it must be there.

>x fountain. x five jug. take it. x three jug. take it.

>x table. x wrinkled note. take it.

>fill five. pour five. empty three. pour five. fill five. pour five.

>x five. put it on pedestal. drop three jug. open white door. e.

Austere Room

>turn on lamp. x painting. [3rd memory recovered.]

>x table. x crumbled note. take it. x gray door. x panel.

Yes, it's a Tower of Hanoi puzzle. Can you feel the love?

>push left. push right. push left. push middle. push right. push middle. push left. push right.

>push middle. push left. push middle. push right. push left. push right.

>open gray door. n.

Pleasant Room

The instant you enter this room, a deadly countdown begins. You have a generous number of turns to save yourself, but the poison gas will kill you if you let it go too long. You won't be able to deal with the featureless door until the gas threat is gone.

>x mirror. [4th and final memory recovered.]

>x table. x rumpled note. take it.

There's some ambiguity confusion if you try to refer to the holes as "northwest hole", "southeast hole", etc. Instead, use constructions like "north west hole". It doesn't matter which note goes in which hole.

>listen. x southeast. x south east hole. put crisp note in south east hole.

>listen. put wrinkled note in north west hole.

>listen. put crumbled note in north east hole.

>listen. put rumpled note in south west hole.

>x featureless door. open it. hit it. [win]

The Three Rooms Game

by Jason Sabada

It would be difficult to invent an IF game that was either more generic or more boring than this one.

>x wallet. take it. [+1] take letter. [+1] x letter. open door. w.

>x axe. take it. [+1] x letter. open door. look. x key. take key.

>unlock door with key. open door. w.

>kill dragon. [+1] look. take final key. [+1]

>unlock door with final key. open door w. [win]
