ZORK: THE QUEST FOR INSURANCE INFORMATION - A Text-Only Adventure Game > START > You are facing north, looking at the mouth of a cave. You have a walking stick. You have a torch. You have a knife. You have one bag of jewels. You have a handful of magic beans. > GO NORTH > You are in a dark cave. A woman wearing a headset is approaching you. > HOW MUCH IS MY DEDUCTIBLE? > I don't understand that. > QUERY DEDUCTIBLE > She shakes her head. "That depends on your employer," she says. "You must go back to Start." > GO EAST > You are in a maze of twisty little passages, all alike. > GO EAST > You are standing in a vast underground cavern. Many confused people are wandering around it. There is a display with numbered cards. > TAKE A NUMBER > You are number 1,752. > WHAT. > You are number -- > YES I HEARD YOU THE FIRST TIME > I don't understand that. > USE KNIFE > The crowd scatters and you find yourself at the head of the line. There is a counter with computer terminals. Behind it a man is standing. > QUERY DEDUCTIBLE > He tells you your deductible is $750 per year. You have $650 left on it. > OH NO > QUERY PMD > He tells you that you have been reassigned to a different medical group without your prior knowledge. > USE MAGIC BEANS > You show the man your magic beans and his face lights up. After a delay of 45 minutes, he tells you that he has been able to assign you back to your original PMD. > QUERY COPAY > He tells you your copay for PMD is one bag of jewels. If you go to the ER it is three bags of jewels. Specialist: two bags of jewels. > FIND PMD > This is a quest, remember? > SIGH. GO NORTH > You are in a narrow dimly lit passage. The ground is rough here. > USE STICK > The stick helps keep you from stumbling. Suddenly as you move forward you realize the ground is opening up. Before you can react you have fallen into a large pit just ahead of you. > USE TORCH > You raise the torch above your head to see better and realize the pit is filled with... pharmaceutical representatives. > USE KNIFE > You fight them off and scramble out of the pit just in time. > KEEP GOING > You are in a maze of twisty little passages, all alike. > GO LEFT > It is pitch dark. You are likely to be eaten by a grue. > USE TORCH > You are in a chamber filled with smiling people wearing white coats. > QUERY PROVIDERS > You must be more specific. > QUERY PMD > The chamber is filled with physicians' assistants, nurse practitioners and pharmacists, all of whom are eager to help, but none of them is an MD. Do you wish to continue? > HMMM. GUESS I'LL CONTINUE FOR NOW. GO BACK > You are in a maze of twisty little passages, all alike. > NOT AGAIN > I don't understand that. > GO RIGHT > There is a light ahead of you and a trail of discarded cardboard coffee cups and donut boxes on the ground. > KEEP GOING > You are in a lighted chamber. There is a stethoscope here. There is a reflex hammer here. There is a tired looking person in a white coat here. > GIVE JEWELS > The person in the white coat is your PMD. Congratulations. You have won the game. Labels: Medicine 0 Comments:
