Ooooo-kaaaaay. This must be what Sins Against Mimesis felt like to people who hadn't read the IF newsgroups. Pass the Banana, near as I can tell, is a little collection of in-jokes originating on ifMUD. I'm basing this conclusion on the fact that the one location in the game is an Adventurer's Lounge. I certainly recognize that from ifMUD. The three characters in the game are a giant flaming head, a monkey, and Melvin the Robot. These ring faint bells for me. I think I've seen some of those things on ifMUD once or twice. The nine objects were all, well, bananas. I've never seen any bananas on ifMUD, but hey, where there's a monkey... I'm not a very frequent visitor to the MUD, though, so my associations with these things are very tenuous indeed. You start out the game with nine bananas, and the object seems to be to get rid of them all. As the title suggests, you can't just drop them or throw them -- you have to pass them to the other characters in the room. So I passed all my bananas and won the game with a rank of "Master of All Bananas". I even managed to get that Last Lousy Point, one of the few things in the game whose joke made sense to me.
