Below is a transcript of > by @, written by Aaron Reed, followed by Tryst of Fate by G. M. Zagurski. > by @ was originally released as part of the 2010 TWIFcomp, where it took first place. As of the posting of this transcript, it has been nominated for a Xyzzy for Best use of Innovation, but the winners have not yet been announced. Tryst of Fate was originally released in 1997. You can learn more about > by @ and Tryst of Fate, including how to download them, by visiting this ifWiki page and this ifWiki page, respectively. > by @ is incredibly short, but if you'd like to skip straight to the Tryst of Fate transcript, you can click here.WARNING! Below you will find a transcript of people playing this game, and it goes without saying that the transcript is full of spoilers. So, if you've never played this game, and think you might like to at some point, I do not recommend reading any further. Instead, you might want to return to the interactive fiction page. |

Floyd | Welcome to the Cheap Glk Implementation, library version 0.9.0. Floyd | | ||||
| Floyd asks, "That game over already? It was just getting good. Wanna play another?" | Nitku says, "We tried to play this during the comp and Floyd refused to load it" | |||
| DavidW says, "Possibly the game crashes on Floyd." | ||||
| Jacqueline says, "It's a very quick game." | ||||
| Nitku says, "sorry, it occurred to me just now" | ||||
| DavidW says, "Maybe it didn't upload properly." | ||||
| Nitku says, "We had Jota look at it and he couldn't make it work" | ||||
| DavidW says, "oh" | ||||
| Jacqueline says, "ah." | ||||
| DavidW says, "So we can't play Following a Star ev-ver." | ||||
| Jacqueline says, "So, another game, or is this the shortest CF ever." | ||||
| Jacqueline asks, "?" | ||||
| DavidW says, "I think we need to pick another game." | ||||
| Nitku says, "We could play all the twitter comp games" | ||||
| DavidW says, "ugh" | ||||
| Nitku says, "heh" | ||||
| Jacqueline asks (of DW), "Why the ugh - are they all pretty difficult?" | ||||
| DavidW says, "Of course not. We'll just wait two hours for you to upload them all, then we play them and they'll all be coin flip games." | ||||
| Jacqueline says, "heh" | ||||
| Ellison says, "funny, I sort of remembered > by @ having a love theme, but it's not so apparent in this replay. kind of funny the kind of plots one can attribute to it." | ||||
| DavidW says, "Like, won't most of them be on the order of 'Sky falling!' >z. ***U DIE*** undo. >n '***Whew. Safe***." | ||||
| Jacqueline says, "heh" | ||||
| Nitku says, "Except Adam Thornton's, which is (almost) a full game, and Jota's, which is Zork" | ||||
| Johnny says, "Adventure." | ||||
| Nitku says, "right" | ||||
| Ellison asks, "did Jota do the same thing?" | ||||
| Jacqueline asks, "We played Warbler's Nest while I was away?" | ||||
| DavidW says, "No." | ||||
| Johnny says, "Include "Adventure.inf";" | ||||
| Johnny says, "Or ... whatever." | ||||
| DavidW says, "Warbler's was the one I didn't want to host." | ||||
| Ellison says (to Johnny), "ha ha. ok, that's great." | ||||
| Jacqueline says, "Well, WN is up for Xyzzies and we haven't played it, if people here haven't, then we should try that." | ||||
| Jacqueline asks, "Show of hands... who's played Warbler's Nest?" | ||||
| Ellison says, "anyways, I am at a coffee shop and think I will now head home, so I look forward to being SURPRISED at our choice!" | ||||
| Jacqueline raises her hand. | ||||
| Nitku says, "me" | ||||
| Ellison says, "I have not played the post-comp release, which I hear has 40% more warbles" | ||||
| DavidW says, "I have no objections to WN as long as it's other people who are playing it." | ||||
| Jacqueline asks, "What's Mariel?" | ||||
| Ellison goes back to Squeamhurst.. | ||||
| Ellison has disconnected. | DavidW asks, "It's in German, didn't inky say?" | |||
| Jacqueline says, "oh" | ||||
| djfletch says, "I played most of the comp games already but I have no other good suggestions in mind just now" | ||||
| Jacqueline says, "Yeah, it's in German." | ||||
| Jacqueline keeps looking... | ||||
| Jacqueline says, "Well, other than Mariel (which is in German) and GeJ and WN (which everyone's played), we've got the Xyzzy nominations covered." | ||||
| Jacqueline says, "I do believe." | ||||
| DavidW says, "Shame Following a Star won't play on Floyd." | ||||
| Jacqueline asks, "What about A Simple Theft?" | ||||
| Jacqueline says, "markm is unfortunately idle..." | ||||
| DavidW says, "I played it ages and ages ago, I think." | ||||
| DavidW says, "I remember the map had a southeasternly list to it." | ||||
| Jacqueline asks, "What's vindaloo?" | ||||
| DavidW says, "It's a spicy tomato dish." | ||||
| Gerynar says, "a kind of food" | ||||
| Jacqueline says, "No, I mean on Floyd." | ||||
| DavidW says, "You solve a 15-puzzle and maze to get ingredients." | ||||
| Johnny says, "Chicken Vindaloo" | ||||
| Jacqueline asks, "Ooh - have we played any Stiffy?" | ||||
| Jacqueline asks, "Or would I never want to post the transcripts?" | ||||
| DavidW says, "Stiffy is AIF whichever Stiffy you mean." | ||||
| Jacqueline says, "mmkay - I thought perhaps it was just slightly naughy highschoolish slapstick." | ||||
| Jacqueline says, "er, naughty" | ||||
| Jacqueline asks, "What's tryst205?" | ||||
| Jacqueline is just pulling out interesting-sounding filenames now. | ||||
| DavidW says, "Might be Tryst of Fate v2.05." | ||||
| DavidW says, "I don't remember offhand what that one's about." | ||||
| Jacqueline says, "Played it? At this point I'm kind of just up for pulling something random none of us have played, and if it sucks we call it good for today and all go write." | ||||
| Gerynar says, "I think it is, DW, because the download file at ifdb is tryst205.z5" | ||||
| Gerynar says, "sounds interesting to me" | ||||
| DavidW says, "ah. That's the one the author wrote for his wife, so the PC is her. And she has an adventure that takes her from their home into a large fantasyworld." | ||||
| Jacqueline says, "ooh" | ||||
| DavidW says, "Except I don't think she actually played it." | ||||
| Jacqueline asks, "I like the sound of that. Shall we?" | ||||
| Jacqueline asks (of DW), "Aw. She didn't?" | ||||
| Gerynar says, "votes "yes"" | ||||
| Jacqueline says (to Gerynar), "Okay, that's two votes and no one is saying no, let's do it." | ||||

Floyd | Floyd | Floyd | Floyd | Floyd | Floyd | Floyd | Floyd | Floyd | This must be your 30th time up the stairs today, but fortunately, this Floyd | is your final trip. All the laundry and cleaning are done, the carpets Floyd | shampooed and the beds made. All that's left to do is to put away the Floyd | last load of laundry, make a cocktail, and unwind in a hot bath while Floyd | the carpets dry. Floyd | Floyd | However, as you attempt the last of fourteen steps, your foot finds a Floyd | small toy car inconveniently located as to cause your feet to go west Floyd | while your head goes east. East, a direction typically no worse than Floyd | any other direction, unfortunately at this time offers the corner of a Floyd | banister. Your head's progression is significantly hampered by this Floyd | obstruction, and as the resulting 'THUMP' resonates throughout the Floyd | house, your head decides it isn't worth staying awake to investigate Floyd | further. Floyd | Floyd | You awake somewhat later to find your head no worse for wear but a Floyd | little foggy, a little confused, and more than a little out of Floyd | touch....

Floyd | Just as you start to move, a grizzly little man about four feet tall Floyd | wearing a red scarf and a black cowboy hat comes in from the bedroom Floyd | to the north. After a quick glance, the little man bends over and Floyd | extracts your gold watch from your wrist in one swift movement. As the Floyd | man examines the watch, a raspy voice yells out, "Frank, get yer Floyd | carcass outta here and down below where ya belong. Dadgummit anyhow!" Floyd | The startled little man looks around and runs to the north with spurs Floyd | clattering. Something drops from his pocket during his hasty exit.

Floyd | You clamber to your feet. Floyd | Floyd | Upstairs Hallway Floyd | The upstairs hallway is really nothing more than an annex between Floyd | several other rooms of the house. There are exits leading north, Floyd | northeast, east and south. A stairway leads down to the west. Floyd | Floyd | You can see a blue gumball and a little toy car here. Floyd | Floyd | > | ||||
| Jacqueline says (to Floyd), "take all" | ||||
Floyd | blue gumball: As you reach for the gumball, a little gnomish man in a Floyd | cowboy hat comes in from your bedroom and picks up the gum, examines Floyd | it and says: Floyd | Floyd | "Well looky here, I thought I heard a commotion up here. Ol' Frank Floyd | Biscuit thought he was goin' to pull off a fast one I reckon, stealin' Floyd | my special gum and all. What that hick won't do to raise hell! One of Floyd | these days, Beetlebaum and I are goin' to have to do sumpin 'bout him. Floyd | Please excuse me, ma'am." Floyd | Floyd | The little gnome tips his hat and heads off to your bedroom. Floyd | little toy car: Taken. Floyd | Floyd | > | ||||
| Lucea arrives, full of neither funk nor fun. | Jacqueline says, "I think we need to get to the ER and have our head checked out." | |||
| djfletch says (to Floyd), "x car" | ||||
Floyd | The toy car is a little red Corvette with a crushed front end. Floyd | Floyd | > | DavidW says, "According to my notes, the status line should be saying "Chapter I "Who Was That Masked Man?""" | |||
| djfletch says, "let's go north and kill this gnome" | ||||
| Jacqueline sings, "Little red corvette..." (she claps twice) "Baby, you're much too fast..." | ||||
| djfletch says (to Floyd), "n" | ||||
Floyd | Floyd | Master Bedroom Floyd | While considerably better than your children's rooms, your room is Floyd | also a little bit on the messy side. There is a king-size bed here Floyd | with mountains of assorted pillows. A masterfully finished dresser Floyd | graces the south wall. To the south is the hallway and a bathroom is Floyd | off to the west. Floyd | Floyd | You can see a little gnome here. Floyd | Floyd | > | ||||
| Lucea says (to floyd), "x gnome" | ||||
Floyd | The little man stands about three feet high, has a dark brown beard Floyd | and steely blue eyes with a mischievous gleam to them. He is wearing a Floyd | tattered tan cowboy hat and a pair of cowboy boots that look several Floyd | sizes too large. He also sports a decorative brown belt with a huge Floyd | brass belt buckle engraved with the word "GEORGE." In one hand, the Floyd | little man is carrying a brown bag. Floyd | Floyd | The little gnome stares at you as if he were sizing you up. Floyd | Floyd | > | ||||
| Gerynar says (to Floyd), "ask gnome about gum" | ||||
Floyd | The gnome chortles, "Oh, just it's just sumpin I whipped up at home. Floyd | Oops, speakin' of home, I got supper cookin'. Gotta go, ma'am!" And Floyd | with that, the little gnome tips his hat and heads west to the Floyd | bathroom. Floyd | Floyd | Floyd | > | Gerynar says, "sorry, didn't mean to make him scamper off" | |||

| DavidW says, "Nice how it combined the response with the following action." | ||||
| Gerynar says (to Floyd), "verbose" | ||||
Floyd | Floyd | Floyd | Floyd | Floyd | Floyd | Floyd | TRYST OF FATE is now in its "verbose" mode, which always gives long Floyd | descriptions of locations (even if you've been there before). Floyd | Floyd | > | djfletch says, "he's cornered in the bathroom anyway" | |||
| Jacqueline says (to DW), "Yeah" | ||||
| DavidW asks, "That 'speakin' of home' bit. What if you didn't ask about the gum?" | ||||
| Jacqueline asks, "Also, what do you want to bet the author refinished the dresser in the master bedroom?" | ||||
| djfletch says (to Floyd), "look under bed" | ||||
Floyd | Nothing here but dust and dirty magazines. Floyd | Floyd | > | ||||
| djfletch says (to Floyd), "get magazines" | ||||
Floyd | That would only serve to further confuse your already bewildered Floyd | husband. Floyd | Floyd | > | Jacqueline says, "Dirty magazines. Really." | |||
| Lucea says (to floyd), "clean magazines" | ||||
Floyd | You achieve nothing by this. Floyd | Floyd | > | Lucea says, "aw" | |||

| djfletch says (to Floyd), "search pillows" | ||||
Floyd | You find nothing of interest. Floyd | Floyd | > | ||||
| djfletch says (to Floyd), "get pillows" | ||||
Floyd | That's hardly portable. Floyd | Floyd | > | Gerynar says, "must be lead pillows" | |||
| jenrexrode says, "x dresser" | Jacqueline says (to Lucea), "I shall quote Imbesi's Conservation of Filth Law: In order for something to become clean, something else must become dirty." | |||
| jenrexrode says (to Floy), "x dresser" | ||||
| jenrexrode says (to Floyd), "x dresser" | ||||
Floyd | The dresser is made out of maple carefully finished with Danish oil. Floyd | Further study makes you marvel at what an accomplished craftsman your Floyd | husband is. One drawer draws your attention away from this stunning Floyd | 20th century achievement. Floyd | Floyd | > | ||||
| Lucea says (to floyd), "x drawer" | ||||
Floyd | You can't see inside, since the drawer is closed. Floyd | Floyd | > | ||||
| Gerynar says (to Floyd), "open drawer" | ||||
Floyd | You open the drawer, revealing a pair of garden gloves. Floyd | Floyd | > | ||||
| Lucea says (to floyd), "x gloves" | ||||
Floyd | These are your garden variety garden gloves with little raised dimples Floyd | for extra grip. Floyd | Floyd | > | DavidW says (to jenrexrode), "Use the f command to talk to Floyd. It's quicker and less error-prone." | |||
| Lucea says, "totally worth our attention" | ||||
| Lucea says (to floyd), "get gloves" | ||||
Floyd | Taken. Floyd | Floyd | > | ||||

| Ellison arrives, ready to play with the toys. | DavidW says, "yes, but it could be 300 turns from now." | |||
| Lucea says, "Or else we'll give it all up to start a new life as a gardener" | ||||
| Lucea asks, "off to the restroom?" | ||||
| DavidW says, "sure" | ||||
| Gerynar says (to Floyd), "w" | ||||
Floyd | Floyd | Master Bathroom Floyd | Beautiful plants hang down from the ceiling and ceramic cherubims Floyd | watch your every move in this small area off of the master bedroom to Floyd | the east. To the south is a spacious walk-in closet with mirrored Floyd | doors. Floyd | Floyd | The closet door is closed. Floyd | Floyd | You can also see a little gnome here. Floyd | Floyd | > | ||||
| djfletch says (to Floyd), "gnome, hello" | ||||
Floyd | There is no reply. Floyd | Floyd | > | ||||
| Jacqueline clears the save counter. | Lucea asks, "cherubims?" | |||
| Jacqueline says, "Little angels." | ||||
| Jacqueline says, "Probably ceramic." | ||||
| Lucea says, "right" | ||||
| Ellison says, "Tryst of Fate? wow, been a while for this one. I just remember as an odd genre-bender." | ||||
| DavidW says, "Except cherubim is already the plural." | ||||
| Lucea says, "just being a picky copy editor" | ||||
| djfletch says (to Floyd), "attack gnome" | ||||
Floyd | The gnome laughs at your halfhearted attempt and says "Now that ain't Floyd | neighborly at all! I'm a-ginnin' to think you got a mean streak like Floyd | ol' Frank." Floyd | Floyd | > | ||||
| Gerynar says (to Floyd), "ask gnome about Frank" | ||||
Floyd | "Don't go messin' with Frank. He's got such a mean streak that he Floyd | makes the devil nervous." Floyd | Floyd | > | ||||
| DavidW says (to Floyd), "ask gnome about watch" | ||||
Floyd | "I don't know what yer talkin' about. Floyd | Floyd | > | ||||
| DavidW says (to Floyd), "tell gnome about watch" | ||||
Floyd | This provokes no reaction. Floyd | Floyd | > | Jacqueline says (to DW), "Ah, true." | |||
| DavidW says (to Floyd), "ask gnome about gnomes" | ||||
Floyd | "I don't know what yer talkin' about. Floyd | Floyd | > | ||||
| DavidW says (to Floyd), "ask gnome about himself" | ||||
Floyd | "I don't know what yer talkin' about. Floyd | Floyd | > | Jacqueline says, "Man, laggy." | |||
| DavidW says (to Floyd), "ask gnome about gnome" | ||||
Floyd | "Tain't no business of yours." Floyd | Floyd | > | ||||
| DavidW says (to Floyd), "x gnome" | ||||
Floyd | The little man stands about three feet high, has a dark brown beard Floyd | and steely blue eyes with a mischievous gleam to them. He is wearing a Floyd | tattered tan cowboy hat and a pair of cowboy boots that look several Floyd | sizes too large. He also sports a decorative brown belt with a huge Floyd | brass belt buckle engraved with the word "GEORGE." In one hand, the Floyd | little man is carrying a brown bag. Floyd | Floyd | > | ||||
| DavidW says (to Floyd), "ask gnome about george" | ||||
Floyd | "Tain't no business of yours." Floyd | Floyd | > | ||||

Floyd | "I don't know what yer talkin' about. Floyd | Floyd | > | ||||
| DavidW says (to Floyd), "take bag" | ||||
Floyd | "Well ma'am, sorry to trouble y'all with ol' Frank there, but he Floyd | shouldn't be botherin' you no more. Why don't y'all take this here bag Floyd | for yer trouble. I best be gettin' back. So long!" Floyd | Floyd | And with that the little gnome sets down the bag, opens the closet Floyd | door, enters the closet, and then closes the door. You hear George Floyd | mumble a few words from behind the door and then the muffled sound of Floyd | machinery. Then all is silent. Floyd | Taken. Floyd | Floyd | > | DavidW asks, "Should I undo?" | |||
| DavidW asks, "Except he *gave* us the bag anyway?" | ||||

Floyd | Floyd | Deadeye Gulch Floyd | You are at the outskirts of what you would guess is a small town. Floyd | Tumbleweeds and debris litter the trail giving all appearances that Floyd | this place is deserted.

Floyd | Floyd | Outside Livery Floyd | You are just outside a large barn-like structure that appears to be Floyd | the local livery.

Floyd | Floyd | East Main Street Floyd | You are at the east end of Deadeye Gulch on a street which is thick Floyd | with dried grass and weeds. The remains of hitching posts and water Floyd | troughs line the crumbling wooden sidewalks. Most of the buildings Floyd | here have collapsed from aging timbers and a few appear as if they Floyd | were burned down to their foundations. A couple of structures, Floyd | however, have withstood the elements. To the north, there is a bank Floyd | judging from the declaration as to such in the windows.

Floyd | Floyd | Saloon Floyd | This old beer hall served its last cold one many summers past. The Floyd | rosewood bar stretches from wall to wall and, surprisingly, the Floyd | wall-length mirror in back of the bar is still intact. The brass foot Floyd | rail at the base of the bar is worn flat on the top from the countless Floyd | patrons whose hard-earned wages were quickly converted into good times Floyd | and song. Swinging doors lead back to the street to the north. Floyd | Floyd | You can see a table, a slot machine and a tray (which is empty) here.

| DavidW says (to Floyd), "x machine" | ||||
Floyd | The free-standing slot machine bears a sign declaring: Floyd | Floyd | "HAPPY DAYS - 10 TRIES FOR 1 BUCK-A-BIN." Floyd | Floyd | The machine has a lever on the right-hand side, a coin slot on the Floyd | top, and a large metal tray at the bottom. There are three tumblers on Floyd | the front of the machine behind a scratched piece of glass. On the Floyd | left-hand side of the machine are five small wheels. Above each of the Floyd | wheels is a letter, which collectively spell out the word "AHEAD." Floyd | Floyd | > | Jacqueline says, "I mean the handsome clever husband person." | |||

Floyd | The writing is pretty much your ordinary bar graffiti with even an Floyd | occasional heart and arrow. However, as you study the crude lettering Floyd | you find some kind of note has evidently been scrawled into the Floyd | surface.

Floyd | You close your eyes and let out a shot in the direction of Black Thad Floyd | McGee. The shot veers left, hitting his right-hand pistol and knocking Floyd | it to the floor. The bullet ricochets off the pistol and hits the Floyd | wall-length mirror dead center. The whole mirror gives way, crashing Floyd | to the floor. Floyd | Floyd | Black Thad shouts, "What ya did that for?!" holding his right thumb in Floyd | obvious pain. Your victory, however, is somewhat short-lived as one of Floyd | the dance hall girls grabs the whiskey bottle and shatters it against Floyd | your head. As your consciousness starts to fade while you're staring Floyd | point blank at the floor, you surmise that the woman just might have Floyd | been Black Thad McGee's girlfriend. Floyd | Floyd | Floyd | Saloon Floyd | This old beer hall served its last cold one many summers past.

Floyd | Floyd | "Don't reckon I know, Jim, but sumpin isn't right here." Floyd | Floyd | "Well, let's get back to cards."

Floyd | Floyd | Biscuit Residence Floyd | The "Biscuit Residence" would hardly constitute a walk-in closet by Floyd | your standards, but what it lacks in size is more than made up for by Floyd | the charming decor of splintered wood, dense cobwebs, and the Floyd | occasional trail of mouse droppings.

Floyd | Beetlebaum races off through the brush at breakneck speed, stripping Floyd | you of all your possessions. The landscape flies by as the old horse Floyd | seeks the shelter of George's shack so as not to have to brave the Floyd | oncoming blizzard. Following nearly invisible trails, the horse breaks Floyd | out of the brush onto the main trail. Without hesitation, the horse Floyd | continues north along the trail across Clear Creek and then northeast Floyd | toward Blind Canyon. Floyd | Floyd | As the horse makes the last turn into the canyon, Beetlebaum startles Floyd | at the sight of something up ahead on the trail. At this point, you Floyd | and the horse go your own separate ways. Beetlebaum falls to the Floyd | ground, quickly regains his footing, and continues his journey north Floyd | to shelter. You, on the other hand, fly through air with the greatest Floyd | of ease until falling face first onto the dusty trail. Floyd | Floyd | As you get up and take inventory of your faculties, you feel something Floyd | cold against your head and hear the click of a gun's hammer. Floyd | Floyd | Blind Canyon Floyd | The trail winds its way from the southwest through a shadowy canyon Floyd | formed in the cleft of two large hills. You cannot help but feel Floyd | confined and vulnerable by the sheer walls of this gorge and the Floyd | limited visibility in front of you and behind. The trail continues to Floyd | the north. Floyd | Floyd | You can see Black Thad McGee here. Floyd | Floyd | "Well, what do we have here? Huh, little missy? Seems like you and me Floyd | have some unfinished business." Floyd | Floyd | Thad puts the pistol back into the holster. Floyd | Floyd | [Your score has just gone up by fifteen points.] Floyd | Floyd | > | Limbo says, "wow, sudden rush of events" | |||

Floyd | Floyd | Black Thad pulls out a pistol from his holster. Floyd | Floyd | The sound of a galloping horse fills the canyon! Floyd | Floyd | > | ||||
| DavidW says (to Floyd), "beetlebaum" | ||||
Floyd | Floyd | Black Thad carefully checks the gun for bullets. Floyd | Floyd | Floyd | Floyd | Floyd | Floyd | Floyd | Floyd | Floyd | Black Thad's eyes turn big as saucers as he spots the daunting sight Floyd | of George and Beetlebaum racing down the trail at full gallop. Floyd | Beetlebaum's eyes are filled with rage, his nose flared, and thick Floyd | white foam spews from his mouth. Just as Beetlebaum lowers his head Floyd | for a full charge, George screams out in an earsplitting yell, "HERE Floyd | COMES BEETLEBAUM!" Floyd | Floyd | Black Thad, out of reflex, goes for his right gun first to shoot the Floyd | charging horse. His thumbless hand fumbles the gun around and then Floyd | drops it to the ground. In an instant, but an instant too late, he Floyd | goes for his other gun with his good hand. Beetlebaum, with his ears Floyd | back, plows into Black Thad like a freight train. Black Thad is Floyd | launched into the air from the collision and slams into the canyon Floyd | wall. What life may have been left in Black Thad is certainly Floyd | concluded by the ensuing rockslide. Floyd | Floyd | After the dust clears a little, George stares at you for a moment and Floyd | says, "I just knew you'd be the one to clean up around these parts. Floyd | Heck, when I tricked ol' Frank into goin' above to rile yuh up, I Floyd | could just feel it in mah bones. Beetlebaum, get yer miserable hide Floyd | over here!" Floyd | Floyd | As Beetlebaum saunters over, still wet with sweat, George opens the Floyd | saddlebag and takes out a blue gumball and hands it to you. "Go on, Floyd | get on home! I don't take to no good-byes from no woman." George Floyd | pauses, and then breaks out in a big smile and chortles, "Ah heck, ya Floyd | done good. Hell, ya done great. I's can't thank ya enough fer helpin' Floyd | out. Let's get some grub and get ya on yer way." Floyd | Floyd | After a pleasant meal of beans and jerky, you say your good-byes to Floyd | the old cowboy. Following a long hug and a quick peck on the cheek, Floyd | you finally partake of the blue gum. Quicker than an instant, you find Floyd | yourself....

Floyd | Floyd | Floyd | Floyd | Floyd | Floyd | Floyd | Floyd | Floyd | 1. The House Floyd | The house depicted is the house we currently live in. As this game was Floyd | originally written for my wife, I wanted her not to get too lost to Floyd | start with. This portion of the game was my experimenting with Inform Floyd | and I decided to leave it in after several revisions. Incidentally, my Floyd | wife has never played the game. Floyd | Floyd | 2. Gold Watch Floyd | The gold watch was a Christmas present I gave my wife. Since she was Floyd | the protagonist in the experimental version, it was the only Floyd | motivation I could contrive at the time. Floyd | Floyd | 3. Deadeye Gulch Floyd | The buildings and so forth in Deadeye Gulch are a combination of my Floyd | recollections of Deadwood, South Dakota and Virginia City, Montana. Floyd | The rosewood bar in the Saloon is based on the "Silver Dollar" in Floyd | Miles City, Montana. Floyd | Floyd | 4. Chokecherry Bushes Floyd | Chokecherry bushes are a staple of the Montana landscape. The small Floyd | black berries are somewhat tart and are especially good when canned. Floyd | Floyd | 5. Willow Tree Floyd | The willow tree in the story was based on a willow tree across the Floyd | street from where I grew up. The tree was in Fred Dorn's yard at the Floyd | time, and was recently cut down since it was dying from old age. Floyd | Floyd | 6. Trystanium & Tombstone Jay Floyd | Trystanium is named after and based on my nephew Tristan. The Floyd | Tombstone Jay is named after my nephew TJ. Both are great kids who Floyd | helped test the game along with their dad, who is "John Bro" in the Floyd | story. Floyd | Floyd | 7. Gold Nugget Floyd | The gold panning bit was based on my brother's attempt to make his Floyd | fortune when we were on vacation in Deadwood years ago. For the Floyd | record, he did manage to find a few flakes. Floyd | Floyd | 8. Slot Machine Floyd | The slot machine puzzle is based on a 5th grade homework problem Floyd | provided by one of my co-workers. We spent a lot of time fooling Floyd | around with this puzzle at the office. Floyd | Floyd | 9. Tombstone Floyd | The tombstone at Boot Hill is based on a tombstone found on a small Floyd | island at Canyon Ferry, Montana. Floyd | Floyd | 10. Clear Creek Floyd | Clear Creek is a little stream that runs across my uncle's farm in Floyd | Montana.

Floyd | Floyd | Floyd | Floyd | Floyd | Floyd | Floyd | Floyd | Floyd | This game was for me the ultimate adventure in just trying to put it Floyd | together and complete it. It took the better part of 18 months to Floyd | write. Having really no programming experience of this nature, even Floyd | the simplest things seemed to take forever. The feedback I have Floyd | received on the game has been well beyond anything I could have Floyd | imagined. I would like to thank each of you folks who took a moment Floyd | and dropped me a note. It made the whole project worthwhile. Floyd | Floyd | As a long-time fan of interactive fiction, it was a discovery of a Floyd | lifetime to find the tools and documentation to even attempt this Floyd | story. Accordingly, I would like to give special thanks to Graham Floyd | Nelson for his incredible work. I cannot comprehend the amount of time Floyd | and commitment it took to develop Inform. Floyd | Floyd | Next on the list, no game would be complete without recognizing the Floyd | pioneering work of Willie Crowther and Don Woods. The original Floyd | Adventure was nothing short of amazing to me when I played it on a Floyd | XEROX Sigma 7 about 20 years ago. I didn't finish the game until the Floyd | early 80's on my C64. What a thrill! Floyd | Floyd | Of course, the folks at Infocom really cut the cake for me. The thrill Floyd | of getting a disk drive for my C64 and Zork I on the same day was Floyd | nothing short of orgasmic. Getting so much entertainment into 80k of Floyd | memory is truly one of the major accomplishments of the computer age. Floyd | My favorite game to this day is Enchanter. Floyd | Floyd | And speaking of thrills, the day I found the interactive community out Floyd | on the Net was nothing short of a religious experience. So many good Floyd | folks with a common interest. I thank you all for keeping the art Floyd | alive. Floyd | Floyd | Last of all, I'd like to thank my brother. He introduced me to Floyd | Adventure and we played pretty much most of the I-F games together, Floyd | although geographically never in the same place. And, accordingly, Floyd | this game is dedicated to him. Floyd | Floyd | And speaking of dedication, my heart goes out to all of you folks who Floyd | play I-F. If you were patient enough to complete the game, please let Floyd | me know at the e-mail address listed when you type 'HELP' in the game. Floyd | Thank you so much, and God bless.
