We do everything from falling asleep to being eaten by a killer toilet. Join me for an epic adventure in one of the most advanced text adventure user interfaces for the Apple IIgs!

This is it! The final confrontation with Jed Stone, the escape from Slaughter Gulch, and animated ending credits with a rock theme. Yes, an AITD music video. Awesome.

We rescue Emily, kill some dudes, and escape the most cliche Indiana Jones-style trap yet.

Among the worst choices of games to Let's Play, Minesweeper must be in the top five. Probably all five. SamuraiFoochs, Sakanagai and I will tell you why. This was a failure. I'm making a note here: Huge Mistake.

We follow the poem into the depths of the mine, where nothing we meet can be killed by force. It's like a real survival horror game.

We explore the catacombs beneath the water tank and kill some familiar enemies with a pickaxe. Also, invisible platforms. I couldn't invent this stuff if I tried.

Arguably the weirdest part of the entire game. I'm going to argue against that notion.

Name that tune! Really... it sounds so familiar, but I don't recognize it.

A brief walking tour of scenic Slaughter Gulch.

Let's read everything on the screen in Maniac Mansion, except Purple Tentacle's dialogue. Can he turn off the flashlight without failing hard? ... No. Featuring my trusty sidekick SamuraiFoochs, his trusty sidekick me, and Sakanagai on backup vocals.

It turns out the whole thing was a simple kidnapping for ransom. Who knew? Also, we look under women's skirts and kill some people.

Lots of shooting at things that don't die from it, and possibly the first ever case of intentional game slowdown. Infogrames made it a "feature".

The end of the game at last! Which do we torture more: Amoniak, or Tazaar?

Imagine doing this room without saving or loading... every time you screw up ANYTHING, you start from the beginning. All the speed-up effects in your computer wouldn't be enough.

We jump, we fight, we read. At least in this game, the books are a bit more involved.

The one mystery of part 6 that can be explained... why there was no spoken dialogue for one of the instruction sheets.

A massive hallucination featuring the monkey from Merlin's Shop of Mystical Wonders, a bubble-blowing alien, and bouncing bowling balls. I don't think the prince actually WANTS to return home.

No, I don't know what that thing is. It sounds like an elephant and looks like a Parasyte, or those guys from Out Of This World.

The game's supposed to end when you rescue the prince. Why is he making this so difficult?

We're sorry, but your prince is in another castle.

We walk through paintings, goons shoot through walls... I'm beginning to think parts of this town that look solid don't actually exist.

WHAT THE F*&^ DO YOU THINK YOU'RE DOING, YOU IDIOT? YOU'VE OVERSEASONED THOSE MEATBALLS! That's it... take off your jacket and get out!

I still have no idea how to determine the gender of an octopus. I thought video games were supposed to be educational!

The further adventures of Ed Carnby and his search for Jed Stone's gold... or Burris's whisky.

We complete our rooftop crossing and fill lots of enemies with Gatling rounds. Some of them actually die from it.

We explore the rooftop and find weapons that should not exist in a survival horror game.

We bring a giant fake dinosaur to life to get to the bottom of the ocean. (Why is there a giant fake dinosaur there, anyway?)

We learn why it's helpful for regional translators to choose voice actors with comprehensible accents. Choose poorly, and we steal your precious anvil. Also, the most disappointing item of ultimate power ever.

We become the first person in history to use a secret passage to break INTO jail.

I'm convinced that this level is a blatant anti-drug PSA of some sort.

A talking tree man tells us where to get a mushroom that induces a musical fantasy... did the Beatles write this script?

Turns out that old player piano's got one last song in it after all.

In order to reach the castle, we have to blow up a carpet, horse collar a bratty kid, and learn to transport music in a world without walkmans. And DON'T GO THROUGH THE DOOR!

Is it a horror game? A Western? An adventure game? Maybe none of the above! Let's find out!

The wizard teaches us how to follow a path, and we wake a sleeping giant by choking a chicken and beating it over the head. This game teaches our children all the best life lessons.

A sequel better than the original in every way? Say it ain't so!

Every action I know of that wasn't in the main LP. Surprisingly few... maybe it WAS a bit on the long side.

It's exactly what it looks and sounds like... thank you, Boots Randolph.

The epic final battle between whatever we are and the evil wizard! Made even more epic thanks to Europe.

Storming the castle to obtain the Supreme... slingshot. Dennis the Menace had a better arsenal than this.

We transcend the Statue of Serenity with Gamelor the Dragon's Fire. Whatever THAT means.

Shadwyn the Wise sleeps through most of the level, then gives the least helpful answer ever.

We sneak past the evil wizard to help him grow carrots.

The first Gobliiins game by Coktel Vision, featuring an annoying health bar and three annoying main characters.

We get inside the evil wizard's house at last.

Gasp! The wizard we've been helping is EVIL!

The wizard gives us a quest, finally beginning some semblance of plot.
