Boardwalk by John H Doolittle Episode 3 of the Andrea trilogy 1990

About the Story

Okay, here's the deal. Your seriously bitchin' poem, 'Surf's up, dude!' won the Surfer's Open Poetry Contest and now you have the first prize, King Kamehameha's original, humungously long, wooden surfboard. Excellant! Unfortunately, you can't try it out -- no wax! Bummer!

You'll just have to wander around the boardwalk doing good until virtue is rewarded and you happen upon some wax. Hurry though. That storm out in the Pacific has stirred up some kicker waves. Tubular!

This game was written by John H Doolittle in Turbo BASIC for PCs circa 1990 and used in his 'Scientific Thinking in Psychology' classes when he was a professor of psychology at California State University, Sacramento.

It was intended for a commercial release in 1992, but this didn't happen.

The author continued to update the game until 1996 and released the Turbo BASIC source code in 2023.
