Ooh, what's this? An ASCII Art Adventure! Plot imminent!
« on: October 28, 2012, 07:56:06 pm »

It's Saturday night and you have nothing to do.
You open a package you got a week ago from an old college acquaintance and have been putting off opening for a while. Inside you see:

Code: [Select]

 /-----\
/       \
|        |
|        |
\--------/
  |    | 
 /      \
/ A B  X \
|  C  0  |
|--------|


There is a power button to one side. You press it and the screen, unsurprisingly, lights up.

Code: [Select]
   ____________
  {            }
 {  WELCOME TO  }
[                ]
[ THE            ]
[        GAMEHAND]
[ "LegendOfTyba" ]
 {PRESS A, START}
  {            }
   ------------

What will you do now?

[GreatWyrmGold] gets a little crown. May it forever be his mark of Cain; let no one argue pointless subjects with him lest they receive the same.

I assume you mean you want to hit the A button?
You CAN just say that...

No such game is found.

Search box for manual or any sort of information.
Hidden in the packaging is a short note. It describes the GameHand as "innovative" and "Clever." So, basically it's advertising. It also notes that there's a few other games in production.

((Press A button)

Code: [Select]
   ____________
  {            }
 {ChooseCharcter}
[                ]
[ Step1:Race     ]
[ A. Human       ]
[ B. Elf         ]
 {C. Dwarf      }
  { X/O:SCROLL }

   ____________
  {            }
 {ChooseCharcter}
[                ]
[ Step1:Race     ]
[ A. Goblin      ]

[ B. Gnome       ]
 {C. Random     }

   ------------

You scroll back to the first screen with one more press of the "O" button.

To summarize racial choices:
Human
Elven
Dwarven
Goblin
Orc
Kobold
Troll
Gnome
Random

Which sounds good?

You choose kobold!

The game shows the following screen:

Code: [Select]
   ____________
  {            }
 {  Statistics  }
[ Str: 9-2=7     ]
[ Agl: 7+2=9     ]
[ Tuf: 19-2=17   ]
[ Mag: 5+2=7     ]
 {              }
  {            }
   ------------

((Ow, that sucks...))

After a moment, the screen changes:

Code: [Select]
   ____________
  {    Class:    }
 {                }
[A. Warrior        ]
[B. Mage           ]
[C. Rogue          ]
[X. Healer         ]
 {O. Multitalent }
  {            }
   ------------

As I intended to mention last time, this will be an informal poll. Everyone choose something that sounds good and we'll go with whatever the majority is.
(And don't worry, an actual plot starts eventually.)
