I have to ask, is this something you wrote, or an actual log from something you wrote? (=:]

What? Moi, perpetrate a trifling and crude hoax? You wound me, sir, by supposing I would ever stoop to such gaucherie. It is so much more *elegantly* absurd to actually write the program, is it not?

CML2 Adventure is part of the 1.6.1 release of CML2. You can download it from <http://www.tuxedo.org/~esr/cml2/> and try it out yourself.

It this doesn't get people to try CML2, nothing will. I still remember many years ago walking into the labs and hearing the graduate students. They were shouting stuff like "jump thru the window" and "wave rod". A roomful was engaged in solving "adventr", no useful work was accomplished for 3+ days and close to a $100,000 in computer dollars was spent after this virus ^h^h^h^h^h^h game appeared on the mainframe.

I keep wondering if the Pirate was included....not to mention, "Witt's End".
