Smoke is pouring in through the cracks of the front door, a harbinger of the fire to follow! You've got to think quick! (Good thing thinking is your thing, you think king!) Test game made in an afternoon for yucks and practice.

You are Bonnie Noodleman, Ordinary Well-Adjusted Teen-Ager, on an ordinary well-adjusted drive up Make-Out Mountain--until some gooey monstrosity from beyond the stars guzzles your boyfriend's brains clean out of his head! Jeepers, what a pickle! Can you convince the townsfolk you're not koo-koo, or is your thinker next on the alien menu?

Well, isn't this a lark! After solid years of going after old Alky to let you in on that Mysteries wheeze of his, at last tonight's the night. He's dragged you from Athens to Eleusis for the to-do, but no sooner had you clapped eyes on the wine and canapés than he informed you of a spot of work in need of doing. You've heard of work, you're sure you'll be good at it!

A millionaire guards a fabulous ruby in her private train car. Countless thieves have failed to steal it. But they weren't the Magpie!

It's not the end of the world, and you're to blame. Better get on that. But man, it sure would be nice to get a bite to eat first.

"God. That chicken does have two noses!?" "We have to do something, a chicken like that must evil magic powers." "How do you think that?" "Well, he has two noses! Imagine what other unimaginable evil things he could conjure up!" "Hmmm...you're right, we better do something about him."

You are the involuntary and very hungry test subject of a semi-anthropomorphized dog in a labcoat who wants you to find all sixteen food items mentioned in They Might Be Giants' song Dinner Bell, which have been hidden in a near-perfect replica of your grandmother's kitchen. If you're very good, you might be allowed to eat.

You are awake, but you would rather not be. The severe cramp in your neck seems almost inconsequential in comparison with the pounding in your head. Your suspicions are roused as to what may have happened the previous night because, as yet, you can remember nothing. A peculiarly furry sensation in your mouth, combined with the unmistakable stench of very cheap scotch, adds to your mounting fear. By the time your vision clears and you notice that you are lying in the bath of your friend's hall of residence, it is clear to you that you are a victim of Jessica's 21st Birthday Party, as advertised on lamp posts and fences across the city for the past three months. Your liver is reporting major difficulties and your stomach produces intermittent gurgles of protest. Your head drowns out all other considerations, however, and you sit up, take a look around you, and pray for death...

PLOT You’ve heard about the 8-Bit Assembly for ages: a retro Apple II computer convention where attendees stay in a university dorm along with fellow vintage computer nerds. You’ve been looking forward to it all year, and you plan to participate in everything the event has to offer. You’ll compete in silly contests, brave dubious cafeteria food and sweltering Midwest heat, and try to find a boxed copy of your favourite Infocom game. You're excited, but a bit nervous too. Rumours fly about dark magic and bizarre occurrences, not helped by the black robed figures you keep spotting around campus. Are those professors, or something more nefarious? Meanwhile, an angry throng of Commodore protestors is amassing at the front gate, and an unhinged Macintosh pirate is menacing the quad in a Bondi blue Volkswagen Beetle. Will you find a copy of Wishbringer to add to your collection, or will the campus literally come alive and start eating attendees? And did that massive statue of a bull over by the bleachers just blink?? Uh oh. NOTES This is the author's first game. It was developed in Inform 6 using PunyInform. The fictional 8-Bit Assembly is based on KansasFest, a real-world Apple II retro-computer convention.

A somewhat more intelligent than usual Bigfoot is captured by a group of Bigfoot hunters in a small Pacific Northwestern town. Can he escape their facility? Well, it's up to you to decide that. Comes with 6 endings. (This game is my first finished parser game, so it might be a little rough around the edges, so to speak. I hope you enjoy it.)

Gus is a smug numbskull who doesn't deserve to have the insult battle championship. You are here to take the title from him with the best yo momma insults there are. You just have to find them first. Raising the Flag on Mount Yo Momma is heavy on puzzles and the average playtime is at around 2-3 hours.

Sure, there's only five of you against a world full of reactionaries, but you have Revolutionary Spirit! You can't possibly fail. Nothing can stand in your way! Now if only you could find your Revolutionary to-do list...

"Really fun writing, a spot-on, over-the-top, sci-fi B-movie spoof." - Duncan Bowsman, ECTOCOMP judge. "Hilarious, well-written and full of clever puzzles to boot." - Mel Stefaniuk, ECTOCOMP judge.

As the most famous self-published Science Fiction author residing in Hillview, you are eminently qualified to judge their annual Elementary School Science Fair.

Unravel Mysteries and Navigate Dangers in Minimax: A Puzzle Adventure If you're ready to take a step back, zoom out, re-baseline your North Star, re-evaluate your swim lane, and ultimately re-commit to over-delivering on a go-forward basis, Cubes and Ladders is the adventure game for you. As the CEO of Minimax Inc. is fond of reminding us, “Success is a journey, so buckle up and stop asking where we’re going.” In this Dilbert-esque parser comedy, you play a new intern navigating broken systems, apathetic coworkers, and clueless management. Can you turn things around in a business committed to making clarity obsolete? To succeed, you’ll align metrics with stakeholder expectations, unpack the data, drill down, deep dive, bubble things up, cascade them down, and leverage synergistic paradigms. Net-net, your plate is full. You’ll move the needle, grab the low-hanging fruit, and push the envelope in pursuit of next-generation, future-proof, mission-critical outcomes. Just remember: at Minimax, it’s not a layoff. It’s a strategic realignment of headcount to zero. Your keyboard awaits. Your coffee is cold. This is Cubes and Ladders. I've included a walkthrough with the game solution. You should refer to it as a last resort if you get stuck.

It's your time to make a statement. Make sure your nerves don't fail before your heart does.
