| DavidW says, "Hollywood Hijinx was a fun silly game. I don't remember the statue turn sequence for unlocking the front door, though." | ||
| DavidW says, "A lot of people were less happy with Hijinx, though." | ||
| Jacqueline says (to DW), "I don't think I ever played Hollywood Hijinx" | ||
| DavidW asks (of Jacqueline), "REALLY? You didn't see the ATOMIC CHIHUAHUA?!?" | ||
| Roger says, "That sounds like it would have been memorable" | ||
| Jacqueline says, "Nope" | ||
| DavidW asks, "There's also a room where you push a piano to make the floor tilt?" | ||
| DavidW asks, "Lots of colored punch cards?" | ||
| Jacqueline says, "No, never seen any of that." | ||
| Jacqueline asks, "Should I upload it? Is it worth seeing?" | ||
| DavidW says, "I think it's worth seeing, yes." | ||
| DavidW says, "But we'll need the feelie or info from it to get the front door open." | ||
| Jacqueline says, "Ha. Well, okay. One sec." | ||
| DavidW says, "Like, we need to turn the statue east then north then south. Something like that." | ||
| DavidW says, "This game also features skis, iirc." | ||

| CF | As night falls the black limousine turns off the highway. It has all | ||
| CF | happened so fast, you think to yourself. Your Aunt passing away | ||
| CF | without any warning, the funeral this afternoon, and now this unusual | ||
| CF | stipulation in her will. The limo pulls up to the front of the house. | ||
| CF | "This is the end of the line," says the attorney, and you step out of | ||
| CF | the back of the limo. "Remember, your Aunt Hildegarde's will stated | ||
| CF | you will inherit her entire fortune -- if you can find the ten | ||
| CF | 'treasures' in one night." | ||
| CF | | ||
| CF | He hands you a photo of Uncle Buddy and a letter, saying, "Her will | ||
| CF | instructed that I give you this photo, with the poem, to point you in | ||
| CF | the right direction. Also this letter, and here, you'll need this." He | ||
| CF | gives you a flashlight. "Meet me at 9 a.m. in the living room with all | ||
| CF | the 'treasures' and you'll inherit her entire estate," he says as the | ||
| CF | limo pulls away and disappears into the night's darkness. | ||

| CF | to go into the maze without the map, and of course you would go in | ||
| CF | anyway and she would have to come in and find you. | ||

| CF | Guests were forever getting lost in the maze at parties. Sometimes you | ||
| CF | wished Cousin Herman would go in and never come out. But you always | ||
| CF | had the feeling he was thinking the same about you, only more | ||
| CF | seriously. Tall hedges, thick and green, stretch along paths leading | ||
| CF | to the east and west and a grass path north enters the maze. A stone | ||

| This is a very long room, lined with multi-tiered bunks. Flimsy partitions between the tiers may provide a modicum of privacy. These spartan living quarters could house hundreds, many of whom are sleeping here right now. A narrow staircase set in the north wall leads up. | ||

| CF | "As I followed your progress I began to realize you and I were not the | ||
| CF | only ones on the estate. My suspicions were confirmed when I received | ||
| CF | a rap on the skull. The next thing I knew I was being tied to this | ||
| CF | buzz saw by your Cousin Herman," says Aunt Hildegarde. "I guess he | ||
| CF | couldn't stand to see you inherit the family fortune. Well, it's all | ||
| CF | yours now. I knew you could do it," says Aunt Hildegarde with | ||
| CF | satisfaction. | ||
| CF | | ||
| CF | "I'm sorry I put you through all this, Pumpkin, but your Uncle Buddy | ||
| CF | and I had to be sure that whoever inherited the estate and the studio | ||
| CF | would be clever enough to handle it all. The only way I could be sure | ||
| CF | the stipulations in my will would be carried out would be to oversee | ||
| CF | it myself, so I faked my death," says Aunt Hildegarde, hugging you so | ||
| CF | tight she squeezes the air out of your lungs. "Tomorrow we'll go see | ||
| CF | my lawyer and he'll take care of all the paper work. I know you'll | ||
| CF | take good care of Hildebud and the studio. As for me, I'm sure it | ||
| CF | won't be long before the press discovers I'm alive. I plan to go to | ||
| CF | the south of France for a rest while the story leaks out. It will be | ||
| CF | great publicity for the studio," says Aunt Hildegarde. Then she adds, | ||
| CF | "And let's hope we've seen the last of your Cousin Herman." | ||
| CF | | ||
| CF | Your score is 150 points out of 150, in 714 moves. | ||

| CF | Do you want to restart the story, restore a saved position, or quit? | ||

| MoyTravis says, "Well. Okay then." | ||
| Roger says, "I think this would have been too hard for me on my own" | ||
| Knight_Otu says, "Well done." | ||
| MoyTravis says, "Good job on the puzzles, for real though." | ||
| Jade says, "WOW, done" | ||
| DavidW says, "thanks" | ||
| MoyTravis says, "They, uh, they built'm different back in the day I suppose." | ||
| Jacqueline says, "Quite the ride." | ||
| Jacqueline says, "And you did it before sunrise." | ||
| DavidW says, "barely. I'm very surprised I managed it." | ||
| DavidW says, "I think the compartment is only visible on the cannon after it's fired and moved." | ||
| Roger says, "seems likely" | ||
| DavidW says, "also thanks with the assistance on the hedge maze and the front door code." | ||
| DavidW asks, "Can the next game we play know 'x' for 'examine'?" | ||
| Jacqueline says, "You did it both before sunrise, as well as generally within the allotted ClubFloyd time frame." | ||
| DavidW says, "We're all Hildebuddies now." | ||
| Jacqueline says, "Group hug. Bring it in, folks." | ||
| Jade says, "So, you have done it at the first attempt." | ||
| Jacqueline says, "Sort of." | ||
| Jacqueline says, "He had played it, like, thirty years ago." | ||
| DavidW says (to Jade), "Only because I remembered enough and from saves and restores." | ||
| DavidW says, "You missed when I slammed into the hatch into a pancake." | ||
| Jade exclaims, "Congratulations!" | ||
| DavidW says, "thanks again" | ||
| Jacqueline exclaims, "Good job, David - again, I'm glad to have been able to see this game, thanks mostly to you!" | ||
| DavidW says, "I'm glad to show off the Atomic Chihuahua." | ||
| Jade says, "30 years after. My memory doesn't cover 30 years at all." | ||
| Jacqueline says, "This came out in 1986, I think." | ||
| Jacqueline says, "Yeah, Dec '86" | ||
| DavidW says, "gosh" | ||
| Jade says, "Yes, 1986" | ||
| Jacqueline says, "From back when we sat on rocks, gamed on casette tapes, and typed out the word 'e-x-a-m-i-n-e'" | ||
| Jacqueline says, "Well, I guess we also had 5 1/2 inch floppy disks." | ||
| DavidW says, "yeah" | ||
| Knight_Otu says, "When we had hunger timers, inventory limits, ..." | ||
| Jade says, "I played Zx spectrum tape games a lot" | ||
| Jacqueline says, "I had a C64 at that time, but I don't think I ever had casettes (they existed, but I always had a disk drive, iirc)." | ||
| DavidW says, "I had an Apple IIc." | ||
| Jade says, "I played a lot of american IF games in middle 80s." | ||
| Jade says, "This game was very fast for me. Vini, vidi, vincit." | ||
| Jade says, "I go to sleep now. See you next week. Have a nice week." | ||
| DavidW says, "After Infocom, there was a dark period where I played rare good games like Eric the Unready and awful ones like The Crystal Key." | ||
| DavidW says, "I don't remember which of Inform or TADS games I first played." | ||
| DavidW says, "When I found the mud for the first time, I walked into the middle of a speed-if. I may have written A speed-if O Entry in Inform before even getting to play an Inform game first." | ||
| Jacqueline says, "huh" | ||
| DavidW asks, "well, that does sound insane, doesn't it? But until Sarge's posts on miningco pointed me to new IF games prior to that...?" | ||
| DavidW says, "er unless" | ||
