} Why does a fierce green snake always bar the way?
}
} You've obviously been playing too many of those adventure games from
} Infocom!
}
} The one to which you are referring, I believe, deals with computer
} programming. Called "Wizard Simulator", it is about a huge
} macrocomputer that starts to simulate the real world. Unfortunately,
} the simulated world includes itself and thousands of people, including
} you, who you must release somehow into the real world.
}
} Let me boot this program on my PC and see if I can help you...
}
} <rrrrrt fnk fnk fnk fnk>
}
} OUTSIDE YOUR CUBICLE You stand in a field of cubicles. As far as you
} can see, there neat rows of offices with no tops and no privacy. Your
} office is to the East. The restroom is to the West. A water cooler
} stands here, complete with Dixie cups.
}
} > GO WEST.
}
} INSIDE YOUR CUBICLE
} This cramped office holds a chair, personal workstation, and several
} manuals. Outside your cubicle, your boss walks by. The workstation is
} off.
}
} > TURN WORKSTATION ON.
}
} I do not know how to turn a workstation.
}
} > TURN ON WORKSTATION.
}
} Your sexual advances are ignored by the workstation.
}
} > PRESS START BUTTON ON WORKSTATION.
}
} I do not know the word 'button'. Your boss walks by your cubicle.
}
} > ON.
}
} What would you like to on?
}
} > WORKSTATION
}
} You are now on top of your workstation, crouching just under the low
} ceiling. Up here, where you have never noticed before, is a small vent
} leading upwards.
}
} > GO UP.
}
} A fierce green snake bars your way!
}
} > KILL SNAKE WITH MANUAL.
}
} You take the manual. You swat the snake with the manual, but it does
} not seem to do any good. Your boss walks by your cubicle. "Hey you
} idiot, what the hell are you doing?" Your boss takes out a cattle prod
} and leans over to zap you!!
}
} * * * YOU HAVE DIED * * *
} Score 0 out of a possible 355.
}
} Hmm. The Oracle is kind of stuck here, too. I suggest moving the water
} cooler into your office and standing on it holding the workstation.
} Your boss won't dare zap you when you are carrying such an expensive
} piece of equipment. Instead, he will miss you and hit the snake. Good
} luck!
}
} The Oracle suggests you try this in real life before risking your
} character in the game.
