        * Hm.. rooms can look similiar

The doors
        * The west door has been seen elsewere.
        * Not much would be gained by opening it.
        * The east door, however, holds many possibilities.
        * It looks as if a master locksmith couldn't unlock it.

Questions:

Why does this game suck?
        Because its my first game, and a lot of things I still don't understand
and may never.

Why yellow?
        I like yellow.

Why ar there no built in hints or footnote screen?
        I don't know how to impliment them.  Here are what they would be:

        Refrences:
                Kthulhu = Cthulhu of Lovecraft fame
                Motel Hell = A silly movie
                Hirm = REAL Cyberpunk Fakebook
                Vomit Punx = Awesome band!!
                Footnote 4 = Another Lifeless Planet and me with No Beer

Why isn't everything explained at the end?
        Use your imagination!  The secret passages could be there for many
        reasons.  The bone said made in Tiawan... other stuff.

Things to do:
        Ask people about their names.
        Ask the baby about breasts.
        Xyzzy in certain rooms.

There are 13 differant ending flags, including not setting any of them
off at all.

1. Stomach explained
2. Suicide boy
3. Baby explained
4. Wooden Sculpture
5. Familly crest of neder say no
6. The punks
7. Gypsy dad (HIRM)
8. Demonic Toys
9. Underwere is too tight, given for the buzzer, don't ask why.
10. Throwing Star
11. Shoes!
12. Wizard of Oz scene
13. None of the aboth encountered (possible)

Known bugs:
Last move.. call it your death andrelanine
Some things not implimented well, like showing the thingy to the gypsy.
The buzzer, hypothetically, opens the door, so you could put something on it
to keep it open.  You can't.

Well thanks, and if anyone every wants to help me write a GOOD game, I've
got a whole slew of good ideas.  rybread@cshore.com
