I beat it in five turns. :(
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.
I died within just one turn. :cool:
You didn't actually pick up the phone booth, did you?Quote:

But now....I dunno.
3 turns. That was awesome, although the way I got 3 turns is a wee bit disturbing
Man, it's sick! :D Got it in 8 rounds on my first try. :cool:
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'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.

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

>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."

That's not a verb I recognise.

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

The Town Square
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.
That's the conclusion I've come to. *shrug*Quote:

Wtf...

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.
Space Quest is better.
Yeah, that sucks.Quote:

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 have no idea what I'm supposed to do. O__o
oh, finally I win.
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.
