Here’s something fairly cute to fiddle with this weekend. It’s a text adventure version of World 1-1 inSuper Mario Bros.

Well, I say “text adventure”, but it’s really more like aChoose Your Own Adventurebook. Instead of having a text parser, the brief amusement uses buttons with commands which vary depending on the situation. It’s fairly simple and there’s one part that doesn’t make a whole lot of sense (spoiler: it’s when you get the star) but what the hell. It’s free, it’s the internet and you’re bored.
