Museum of Illusion
The Museum of Illusion was dedicated to the memory of the Great Implementers - figures who were believed to have created the GUE as an act of pure will. Before you, a row of delicately crafted porcelain busts of these immortal greats once stood. Legend has it that so lifelike were these busts, that they would seem to talk among themselves, discussing history, the arts, music, and philosophy, much as those mythic figures did in the Golden Age of Text Adventures. But years of neglect and the ravages of time have toppled most from atop their finely-wrought pedestals. Now, alas, the only two that remain are those of Marc Blank and Mike Berlyn, bloodied, but unbent; battered, but unbroken; shaken, but not stirred.

Worse than the physical desecration of this shrine, it is clear that an attempt was made to commercialize what remains, for now, above the busts, is a sign reading, "Consult the Oracles - 10 Zorkmids."  Beneath the sign is a coin-sized slot.

Mike's eyes, like those on a famous science-fiction adventure game box, seem to follow you as you approach. "Marc! Wake up! We have company!" description: Museum of Illusion inventory: ['quint-Zorkmid coin, tied to tinsel', 'brass lantern', 'glasses', 'ZM$100000', 'Multi-Implementeers', 'razor-like gloves', 'cheaply-made sword'] |action| put coin in slot reward: 0 hint: ['west', 'turn lantern off', 'take red lens', 'take tinsel', 'take off gloves', 'untie tinsel', 'put lantern down', 'put multi down', 'put glasses down', 'put gloves down', 'put sword down', 'put all down', 'put on glasses', 'empty glasses', 'examine glasses', 'lower tinsel', 'throw lantern', 'throw multi', 'throw tinsel', 'put lantern in slot', 'put lantern in glasses', 'push red lens to lantern', 'push red lens to slot', 'push red lens to glasses', 'put all in glasses', 'empty glasses into slot'] state: The coin drops into the slot, but (unbeknownst to Mike and Marc) remains tied to the tinsel.

Marc looks with some satisfaction at Mike, then assumes a very serious (oracular, one might say) pose. A holographic image of an hourglass miraculously appears beside him, the number "10" glowing inside with a harsh, red light.  The number "10" is replaced by "9" as his voice drops three or four octaves. "Now hear the Oracle of the Implementers," he begins. (7) "The Wisdom of the Ages," he continues, in no apparent hurry. (5) "The Revealed Truth of All Truths," he drones, the word `truths' somehow adding an extra syllable or two. (2) And, finally, "Listen." Then, snapping out of his trance-like state, he looks in your direction rather sheepishly. "Sorry about that," he says. "I get a little carried away. Just another five Zorkmids and I'll finish up with a really juicy piece of information."  He looks at you expectantly.

Marc's bust does a double-take. "Hmm," he hmms. "Not a bad-looking specimen, though back in the old days, they built `em tougher." description: Museum of Illusion inventory: ['brass lantern', 'glasses', 'ZM$100000', 'Multi-Implementeers', 'razor-like gloves', 'cheaply-made sword'] |action| pull tinsel reward: 0 hint: ['examine lantern', 'west', 'turn lantern off', 'take red lens', 'take off gloves', 'untie tinsel', 'put lantern down', 'put multi down', 'put tinsel down', 'put glasses down', 'put gloves down', 'put sword down', 'put all down', 'put on glasses', 'empty glasses', 'examine glasses', 'throw lantern', 'throw multi', 'put lantern in slot', 'put lantern in glasses', 'push red lens to lantern', 'push red lens to slot', 'push red lens to glasses', 'put tinsel in slot', 'put all in slot', 'put all in glasses', 'empty glasses into slot'] state: Taken.

Mike's bust looks wistful. "Sigh," he sighs. "Oh for the olden, golden days of yore." description: Museum of Illusion inventory: ['quint-Zorkmid coin, tied to tinsel', 'brass lantern', 'glasses', 'ZM$100000', 'Multi-Implementeers', 'razor-like gloves', 'cheaply-made sword'] |action| put coin in slot reward: 10 hint: ['west', 'turn lantern off', 'take red lens', 'take off gloves', 'put lantern down', 'put multi down', 'put glasses down', 'put gloves down', 'put sword down', 'put all down', 'put on glasses', 'empty glasses', 'examine glasses', 'throw lantern', 'throw multi', 'put lantern in slot', 'put lantern in glasses', 'push red lens to lantern', 'push red lens to slot', 'push red lens to glasses', 'put all in glasses', 'empty glasses into slot'] state: Mike seems surprised (and not altogether pleased) that you've been able to put the same quint-Zorkmid coin in twice. With a blink of his eye, the tinsel goes up in a ball of sparks and flame (pyrotechnics being a specialty with him) and the coin drops fully into the slot.

Marc assumes the oracular position and intones: "Ahem. It may be uncommon knowledge, but, it should be clear to see that text is not a great three-D medium. You may be blue, but looking through rose colored glasses helps bring things into alignment."

Mike says, "True, Marc. All too true. As you know, I'd try to pry the sixth rib I saw."

Museum of Adventure
This museum is a sick, twisted, and pitiful homage to that special creature as near and dear to my heart as a parser, the Adventurer. There, in the center of the room, sits a display that sends a shiver up your spine: A skeleton. On the small pedestal beside it sits a plaque. The walls have been clawed, the wallpaper and exhibit signs shredded by what was probably an over-excited tourist group of grues. In what looks like the remnants of their enthusiastic visit, piles of bones lie on the floor, cracked open, fang-marks clearly evident on their glistening white surfaces. One sign on the wall by a door to the southwest remains, though.

As you step through the doorway, you realize you've entered a room so vast, you can see the distant curvature of the Earth. On the distant, foggy horizon, the ceiling appears to meet the floor, blending in the mist. The only thing in this enormous, cavernous area are shelves, shelves and more shelves, all of them empty, dwindling into nothingness. This of course disproves the ancient belief that there's never enough closet space.

On the shelves is an aerosol can.

The Mud Forum
This large, square chamber is certainly messy enough for a mud forum (whatever that might be), but there is no mud in sight (for purposes of argument, it could be postulated that the water source for the mud has dried up, or that mud was brought in for some scientific purpose, or that MUD refers to a Multi-User Dungeon of the sort now popular among the better-socialized members of the adventurer class.) In the southeast corner of the room a sign reading, "Exhibit Closed! Danger!" overlays another sign, beneath which is a sealed door. On the floor, starting near the center of the room, four large symbols have been painted in royal purple; a large display unit with a heavy wooden cover stands behind.

Undying Garden
Barren branches and pines suggest winter's quiet. Metal and wood, painted and sculpted, the false garden is heedless of harvest, drought or rain.

A jade compass rests at the garden's metaphysical center, between translucence and opacity, curve and line, and other dichotomies too subtle for your eye. A gentle warmth from the surface invites touch.

Undying Garden
Autumn's fiery colors are evident in the trees and flowers around you. Metal and wood, painted and sculpted, the false garden is heedless of harvest, drought or rain.

A jade compass rests at the garden's metaphysical center, between translucence and opacity, curve and line, and other dichotomies too subtle for your eye. A gentle warmth from the surface invites touch.

You watch with astonishment as the lid of the big mailbox slowly opens by itself, then snaps shut with a clang.

The little mailbox "clump-clumps" to your side with a joyful snap.

The lid of the big mailbox opens again. "I want MAIL!"

The two mailboxes freeze at the sight of one another.

The little mailbox snarls and stands protectively by your side. The big mailbox emits a frightful growl and throws its lid wide open, displaying rows of sharp little teeth. A crowd of postal meters and stamp dispensers gathers as the metal warriors circle each other with tense, snapping lids.

With a sudden rush, the little mailbox throws itself at the big mailbox and clamps onto its forefoot. The big mailbox roars with anger, bites the little mailbox viciously and tries in vain to shake it off. You stare in wonder as the fighting boxes swell to twice their normal size, then four times larger, eight times!

The big mailbox frees itself with a savage twist and bends to finish its foe. The little mailbox dodges, grips the descending lid and holds on for dear life. Locked in mortal combat, the giant boxes roll over and over, shaking the earth with the thunder of battle.

The scene disappears under a cloud of dust. You hear a terrible scream of agony, then an even more terrible silence. When the air clears, the boxes and spectators are gone.

This old building is the home of a sleazy arcade, lined with coin-op video games. The machines are crowded with half-crazed, stunted humanoids, who pay no attention to you as they satisfy their thirst for electric violence.

One machine in the corner appears to be deserted.

A sign on the wall says, "All Games One Token."

(Hope you saved your story position.)

A sudden power drain makes all the other games in the arcade go dim. Blue sheets of energy leap from the game machine, surrounding you in an incandescent aura. You can feel your molecules being taken apart one at a time, analyzed, modulated and broadcast through space. It is not a pleasant sensation.

Hilltop
You're on a hilltop overlooking the seaside village of Witchville.

A tower stands in bleak silhouette against the moonlit sky. It rises a hundred feet above a barren plateau, and is encircled by a deep moat. The only entrances are a closed drawbridge and a dark window near the top.

Roads run down the hill to the east and west. There's a signpost nearby.

A synthetic voice says, "Game Over. Insert Token To Play Again."

You're standing in a dimly-lit vestibule just inside the tower's entrance. The drawbridge is opened across the moat to the north. A short corridor leads south, into the tower.

"Turn back, brave Adventurer!"

You stare in horror at the platypus chained to the floor. It's Princess Tasmania!

"Behind you!" cries the Princess. "It's a trap!"

Too late. The drawbridge crashes shut against the tower wall. You turn to face your enemy, and find yourself staring into the open maw of... Mr. Crisp!

"Nice of you to drop by," he sneers as a gigantic Boot pins you to the ground. "Saves me the bother of tracking you down."

Torture Chamber
You're chained up in the corner of a dim, stuffy chamber, deep within the bowels of the tower. The walls gleam with obscure medical instruments, and a diabolical torture machine occupies most of the opposite corner.

Princess Tasmania is clamped into the torture machine!

A ladder rises to meet an open hatch in the middle of the ceiling.

Mr. Crisp is fondling the instruments, one by one.

His face turns pale. "Where did this come from?" he whispers, opening it.

An unbearably sweet expression spreads over his face as he reads. The violet note falls from his hands.

"I've got to run," Mr. Crisp cries, tossing his white lab coat into a corner and stuffing his shirttails into his pants. "Violet scolds me when I'm late!" He struggles into a hideous velvet blazer, pushes a comb through his hair and scampers up the ladder like a little boy.

The hatch closes with a hollow thud.

You hear the distant rattle of the drawbridge opening.

Princess Tasmania breathes a sigh of relief.

You hear the distant rattle of the drawbridge closing.

Princess Tasmania strains against her clamps. "Release me from this torture machine, brave Adventurer! Please! Pull down this lever and set me free."
