Pogo on a Trampoline

IKEA Walkthrough (Silly)

If you've ever become addicted to a video game, you know that there are people out there who write "walkthroughs." Walkthroughs are detailed maps and instructions on how to win a game, explaining tips and tricks to survive and advance through the levels.

If you've ever been to IKEA, you know that a guide would be the best possible thing you could have to survive the experience.

Here is that guide. Enjoy!

I thought it was pretty funny up until the MUD format and the phrase "Now you are in a maze of twisty passages, all alike." After that point, I pretty much found it brilliant! I remember with our old Commodore 64, we'd get these computer magazines and in the back would be programs that you could type in yourself. Dad, Nell and I would program these games in. Sometimes they'd work, sometimes they wouldn't. And you'd have to go through the code, line by line, in order to find the typo. Once we programmed some vampire game. The code was so long that all 3 of us worked on it for what seemed like a week. When we started playing, we were so confused at having to type "NSEW" to get anywhere, and I distinctly remember that twisty passages phrase.

Brings back the memories, I remember also typing for ever to put in a game. It was RUN that we had. Remember David?

I remember typing in those games. A few of them were even in machine language... I can't believe I typed in all that gibberish :).

We had RUN magazine, and also Compute Gazette. One of them gave hints to games like ZORK.
