Nelson Mandela's Long Walk To Freedom - The Text Adventure. "Look" The road ahead is long. What now? "Walk" You so far have completed 0.0001% of your walk to freedom, what now? "Walk" You so far have completed 0.0002% of your walk to freedom, what now?

Run DMC and Aerosmith's text adventure "Walk" Which way?

@ruperto.bsky.social

Incredible use of the word 'adventure'!

No YOU hacked together a shit drawing program, so you could use it to draw a loading screen to game that doesn't exist, that you imagined existed, whilst nosing at books in the library

Where's the 1bit version of "Something inside so strong" by Labi Siffre?

"The Hobbit" vibes

Of course we need a win screen to reward players who've typed in "walk" one million times.

A track and field style game where you mash the buttons one million times would be good too although Google ai just informed me an average person would take 23.1hrs to complete this at twelve buttons per second.

@robmanuel.b3ta.com

@mattround.com already built that and this is a sort of lower tech riff off it, what if it was a text adventure?

Loading time: long

@toddlunch.bsky.social

THANK YOU JAMES

I would genuinely have played this.

@lrusse.bsky.social

So would I. I would have spent most of my time typing 'fart' and 'guff' and 'silent but violent' to see what it said

@robmanuel.b3ta.com

I'm ahead of you on that one

@lrusse.bsky.social

ahahaha that's superb! Well, looks like you've thought of everything here - I reckon this baby's ready to ship

@robmanuel.b3ta.com

When I thought it up earlier (in library, idly nosing at books on biography section) I realised it's within my ability to code for the ZX Spectum and I could enter it for the Crap Games Competition. I probably won't though and it's just a gag here.
