an
Infocom game in which the hero has to fight his/her way through several provinces of english
puns. some of these include jackville, in which all the puzzles involve words beginning with
jack (jacket, jackknife...);
shake a tower, which is all
spoonerisms (can of
peas => pan of keys, shoving
leopard => loving shepherd); and buy the farm, in which all the puzzles involve common
aphorisms (make a mountain of a molehill,
don't cry over spilled milk)
it has been brought to my attention that i neglected to mention the fact that the game comes with a small booklet of
far side style comics illustrating many punnish sentiments and cliches that did not make it into the game.
