A joke demo about the classic novel, June 5, 2017

The Textfire Demo 12-pack was released on April Fool's in 1998, claiming to be demos of an upcoming commercial studio called Textfire.

This game (one of the many from which Adam Cadre scrubbed his name) is based on Flowers for Algernon. It has extensive styling of the standard parser errors, written in the voice of someone with bad spelling and grammar.

A lot of work went into this joke game, and it's an interesting concept.

Very short pun-style game, November 28, 2008

Related reviews: Adam Cadre, ***

This is a very short, one-room game. It's essentially the IF equivalent of a pun - even if you do manage to figure out the single puzzle, you'll end up groaning rather than laughing. If you like that sort of joke, you'll like this.

Parser hell! If you've read the novel that this brief "demo" is based on, you can probably guess what I'm talking about. Yes, it's a one-joke game, but it's a pretty good joke.
