Hehehe, yeah, it's a remake of the old infocom version, which you can find on the net if you look hard enough, along with everything else you need to play it.

Quote:
> sit in front of the bulldozer
The bulldozer could easily maneuver around you. You're getting close, though.
The bulldozer rumbles slowly toward your home.
> examine thing
Apart from a label on the bottom saying "Made in Ibiza" it furnishes you with no clue as to its purpose, if indeed it has one. You are surprised to see it because you thought you'd thrown it away. Like most gifts from your aunt, you've been trying to get rid of it for years.
The bulldozer piles into the side of your home.

Your home collapses in a cloud of dust, and a stray flying brick hits you squarely on the back of the head. You try to think of some suitable last words, but what with the confusion of the moment and the spinning of your head, you are unable to compose anything pithy and expire in silence.
>
You keep out of this, you're dead. An ambulance arrives.
>
You keep out of this, you're dead and should be concentrating on developing a good firm rigor mortis. You are put in the ambulance, which drives away.
>
For a dead person you are talking too much. As the ambulance reaches the mortuary a fleet of Vogon Constructor ships unexpectedly arrives and demolishes the Earth to make way for a new hyperspace bypass.

We are about to give you your score. Put on your peril-sensitive sunglasses now. (Hit RETURN or ENTER when ready.)
Damn bulldozer

Hahaha, yeah, but then I wouldn't have got the quote

I tried "Lay in front of the bulldozer", but it replied that I didn't have the bulldozer, lol

And hey, at least I got out of the house before it was demolished, so I'm not a total n00bie
