You could try the demo for the sequel! It's right up top there.

I'm confused. What am I supposed to be doing?

I don't understand either. I'm sure it'll come to me in a few days.

You didn't actually pick up the phone booth, did you?

D'oh.

Yes, I did.

3 turns. That was awesome, although the way I got 3 turns is a wee bit disturbing

The name of the game is 'Pick up the Phone Booth and Die'. I did both of those things, and yet scored zero points. :(

I can totally see your frustration.

I beat the first game, but I don't know what to do in the second one. except that I can walk in different directions.

I want to just shoot this stupid phone booth

I'm still lost. Is the object of the game to actually pick up the phone booth? Am I just stupid for not figuring out what to do?

>Enter phone booth.
The booth is welded shut. Sucks to be you.

>Punch phone booth.
Sure, that looks non suspicious, a psychopath attacking a phone booth.

>Lick phone booth.
That's not a verb I recognise.

>Hump phone booth.
That's not a verb I recognise.

>It's "recognize," really.
You seem to want to talk to someone, but I can't see whom.

>Look around.
I only understand you as far as wanting to look.

>Look at phone booth.
It looks like any other normal phone booth you might see in any other
normal city, but this one has the words "PHONE BOOTH" scratched out and
"P#ON3 BOOTH" instead.
Someone has also added a smiley face under the two OOs in "BOOTH."

>There's only one "OO," actually.
That's not a verb I recognise.

>Look at shoes.
You can't see any such thing.

>Look inside your heart.
You can't see any such thing.

>Look up.
I only understand you as far as wanting to look.

>Look at sky.
You can't see any such thing.

>Walk around.
You can't see any such thing.

>Walk into street.
You can't see any such thing.

>Walk.
You'll have which compass direction to go in.

>Walk north.
You can't go that way.

>Walk south.
You can't go that way.

>Walk east.
You can't go that way.

>Walk west.
You can't go that way.

>Walk northeast.
You can't go that way.

>Walk northwest.
You can't go that way.

>Walk southwest.
You can't go that way.

>Walk southeast.
You can't go that way.

>Run.
You'll have which compass direction to go in.

>Run north.
You can't go that way.

>Run sideways.
You can't see any such thing.

>Stand still.
I only understand you as far as wanting to stand.

>Stand.
But you aren't in anything at the moment.

>Check pockets.
You can't see any such thing.

>Cry.
That's not a verb I recognise.

>Pick up something.
You can't see any such thing.

>Pick up phone tooth.
I only understand you as far as wanting to pick up the phone booth.

>Get up with the git down.
I only understand you as far as wanting to get the ceiling.

>...
That's not a verb I recognise.

>Get the ceiling.
That isn't available.

>Get up.
But you aren't in anything at the moment.

>Fall down.
That's not a verb I recognise.

>Use explosives to crack open phone booth.
That's not a verb I recognise.

>Crack open phone booth.
You can't see any such thing.

>Grab fire extinguisher.
That's not a verb I recognise.

>Break open glass.
You can't see any such thing.

>Climb on top of phone booth.
You can't see any such thing.

>Hug phone booth.
You can only do that to something animate.

>Animate phone booth.
That's not a verb I recognise.

>Look for people.
I only understand you as far as wanting to look.

>Look.


<b>The Town Square</b>
You are standing in the middle of a pretty town square in the center of a
nondescript New England town. Like most any other nondescript New
England towns, there's not much to see or do here, but maybe you'll find something amusing and enjoyable to do.

A shiny metal phone booth sits in the center of the square.

>Pick up the phone booth.I hate text adventures.

That's the conclusion I've come to. *shrug*

That's about how it went for me. I ran and walked in all 8 directions too.

Wtf...

edit: That was in response to 'Kishi's post.

Levian

Yeah, text adventures are hard. Sometimes, I wish I could just push a phone booth on top of them.

Oh very funny.

That's it?

That is quite possibly the least interesting thing I have ever encountered.

I pulled the phone booth. And I died. So then I was like, "hey, I'll push it!" So I pushed it, and I won. And then I was left feeling very unsatisfied.

Why the hell would you want to push over a phone booth? Are you a hooligan or something?

I tried to eat the phone booth and it killed me. :(

You can't quite win the second one, but there are two things you can do to get points, one of which consists of an act of petty vandalism against the phone booth. You can also kill the cow, but you don't get points for that :(

I tried to pick up the phone, but the phone somehow killed me. :(

that's exactly what I did, psy.

Did you pray too? I prayed and I got a cow and 5 chickens.

I tried to call Bill Belichick for the right play but I died.

it said "what do you want to do" and I said "eat" so it said "what do you want to eat?" and of course I was like "teh P#ON3 BOOTH!!!!1!1!"

somehow that was interpreted as picking up the phone booth.

I discovered typing "Die" ends the game. Does that count for something?

Ok, for version 2:

Step 1: Check your inventory.
