A Text Adventure Rap Video?

K.V.

It's almost as entertaining as it is annoying:

It appears to have been filmed by the guy who made Get Lamp, and Steve Meretzky has a cameo.


Good rhythm and a good voice. Not particularly all that cringey. It bored me half way through.

This video was uploaded in 2007.

Yeah... I guess it was just too long rather than annoying...

Did you make it to the part with that old dude with the beard (Steve Meretzky)? That guy made the BEST text adventures back in the day!!!

If you haven't played Leather Goddesses of Phobos, you might get eaten by a Grue!


No, I didn't watch that long. And hah, I never played Leather Goddesses of Phobos!


K.V.

Well, I can't find Leather Goddesses on any legitimate-looking websites...

If you haven't played the Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy game, Steve Meretzky co-wrote it with Douglas Adams. It's one of most (in)famous INFOCOM games from back in the day, and it's on this site:

The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy

...and I may as well drop this on you, too:

Even if you've heard the radio shows, read the books, watched the TV show, and seen the movie, you'll still get stuck somewhere! (And there's no built-in hint system in the version hosted here.)
